What do you think? http://boxrec.com/schedule.php?country=&division=&title=&tv=ESPN2&SUBMIT=Go Opening up is a solid prospect battle as skilled Rances Barthelemy takes on Afghanistan born Canadian Arash Usmanee. In the co-feature fringe contenders Dereck Ennis and Johnathan Gonzalez go head to head for 10. Then a solid All-American Lightweight clash between former title challenger John Molina Jr and power punching Dannie Williams (Not to be mistaken with former top British heavyweight Danny Williams). Plus prospect Brandon Gonzales on undercard. A week after Ukrainian imported former WBO champion Sergey Dzinziruk goes head to head with Texan brawler Brian Vera for 10. Canadian Tony Luis faces Miguel Gonzalez in the co-feature plus Brazilian prospect Jackson Junior, and American Heavyweight Garret Simon are on the possible TV undercard. After that we see a crossroad themed card as tricky boxer Carlos Molina faces the once highly skilled, but faded Cory Spinks. Former top American prospect Antwone Smith looks to chain another world class win on his comeback against the heavy handed Mexican warrior Jose Luis Castillo. Super Middleweight contender Don George fights a TBA opponent and Polish prince Artur Szpilka faces American journeyman Mike Mollo on the undercard. The card after showcases heavy handed Canadian standouts David Lemieux and Kevin Bizier in Montreal. And finally in the last announced card Dominican Delvin Rodriguez faces undefeated Native American descendent (With a padded record) George Tadooahnippa.
D-Rod vs. Tahdooanippah is a tough one to call. You've got in D-Rod a battle-tested warrior but he's past it with a broken trigger and is a natural welter punching well above his weight against an undefeated (if untested) true middleweight with power. Tahdooanippah doesn't have much of a name yet, but he's trained by Black Mamba and has looked dangerous enough in his can-crushing escapades that Fernando Guerrero ducked him last year when they were set to put their zeroes on the line. :deal (...not that Guerrero's lasted much longer )
Really? Have you seen Torres? I said it was a showcase because I am unsure of Jose Torres and John O'Donnell. Records look iffy. I am not sure if he has the pop. But K9 KO'd him so he is very faded. But to his credit he did win some rounds to say the least until then he was up. Please do not put ideas in their heads. :-( Toss him in with George maybe that guy is with them. Despite the fact I see him UD'd he's normally game and may be Fonfara's biggest test (sadly). Then again he says he wants to be at 160 after Stevenson loss and not 168-175 so I hope the promoter will outsource to another promoter to get Fonfara a good opponent. Karpency and Johnson are below the level he is on now.
Tahdoonippah will win a controversial decision in a reasonably close fight. Delvin doesn't get win in close fights, which he is always in. Except for Trout I suppose. Cory had some of the best reflexes in the game at one point. While he still can do somethings now as I said it is nothing like in his prime.
Lemieux is really not much better than Majewski, formerly a buzzed unbeaten prospect, whose ass Torres thoroughly kicked. Torres can take it and dish it out. Lemieux can't win battles of attrition with guys like that. He can only do one of those things. :deal Skilled boxers will beat Torres - but you don't want to bang with him.
That adds more spice. If the Mexican manages to walk through Lemieux's early shots in the first three. Torres will likely drag him through hell.
Majewski was ahead on the scorecards. ass-kicking is different. Lemieux has better skills than Majewski. You are right, Torres has a dangerous style for him. But i think, Lemieux is able to learn from his losses and win a UD.
