    Boytsov vs Guinn
    13/04/12
    A good match up for Boytsov and a step in the right direction, although Guinn has several losses now, he went the distance with some good names; monsour, Pulev, chambers, thompson, Liakhovich. So a stoppage here for Boytsov would look really good.


    Fury vs Rogan
    14/04/12
    I think fury has embarrassed himself here, his career was going well, taking on some undefeated opponents, then vacates the british and commonwealth titles apparently to progress to the next level. If he's not going to fight Price this fight should have been against the likes of Pulev/dimitrenko. This is like a step back of about 2 years

    Mitchell vs Chazz Witherspoon
    28/04/12
    Chazz witherspoon, in my opinion looks pretty good, good height and condition, can box, he has two loses but they were against good opposition in arreola and thompson. Since those loses his career has been slow to get going again, a win here would be huge for him, however I see mitchell winning this, which would be a good win for seth


    Dimitrenko vs Pulev
    5/5/12
    Exactly the sort of fight that should be happening for the euro crown, two skilled big fighters, one on the way up, one who really seems to be sort of coasting and staying around the same level for a while now. I rate dimitrenko, but his loss to chambers has really harmed his rep, it was a fight he really should have won but seemed to lack the determination. Might not be a particularly entertaining fight, but good to see two top 10s going up against each other


    Gerber vs Maurice Harris
    5/5/12
    on the same bill as the above fight, a good step up for gerber, Harris is probably better than his record (25(11)-15(11)-2) suggests, he is highly ranked on boxrec so will help gerber rank there which will help him get noticed. Gerber is a young talented heavyweight and should be a serious contender for a title in a few years.

    Price vs Sexton
    19/5/12
    For the british title, should have been against fury, but sexton is a decent opponent his only loses are against chisora, out of all the really big hws not called klitschko I think price is the most skilled. hopefully this will be one of his last fights at domestic level and he will be fighting top ten opponents by the end of the year.

    Odlanier solis vs Konstantin Airich
    19/5/12
    A return to the ring after a year out for solis against a decent opponent coming off a win against a good opponent in Ondrej Pala, hopefully this will see solis returning in significantly better shape, he looked so much better in the amateurs competing at <91kg. So if he returns weighing around 225, I think he could be an excellent contender.

    Adamek vs Chambers
    16/6/12
    An excellent match up here, should make a very entertaining fight, I wouldnt have been surprised to see chambers move down to cruiser instead, but after such a long period of inactivity, there's a chance he will come in a bit heavy. Both boxers here although very talented and good to watch when not fighting a klitschko, have probably gone as far as they can in the heavyweight division as they are both lacking the size and strength to really be successful

    Bryant Jennings is also on the bill, so hopefully he will be up against a strong opponent as his career is just getting a bit of momentum after beating Byarm and Liakovich, however he did look to be lacking strength and power a little against Byarm although he did make very good use of his very long jab

    Nice matchups especially Pulev vs Dimentrenko and Adamek vs Chambers. Mabye were going to get heavyweight contenders who finally earned there rankings soon. That would be nice

    We've already had some good heavyweight scraps this year. Adamek vs Aguilera, Jennings vs the White Wolf, V. Klitschko vs Derek Chisora and Kevin Johnson vs Alex Leapai. We'll hopefully get some more to add this list with these new fights.

    Looking forward to see Boystov put in an impressive performance and the Solis return.

    Chambers vs Adamek is a really good fight also.

    Good thread :good

    Dimitrenko-Pulev will be a dull fight but its nice to see top10 guys who are prepared to fight each other

    Chisora said he'll be fighting in Russia this year so hopefully its Povetkin

    Does anyone know how much longer Helenius is out for?

    Price has only had 12 fights, who would you rather see him fight for the british title?

    I am looking forward to seeing Towers step up for one. The right matchup right now is Towers/Sexton as opposed to Price/Sexton. I'd settle for Price/Sprott as well.

    i agree that towers sexton would be a gd match up...price will and should walk through sexton..sprott would put up a better fight and might even test price..damn fury for ducking him..hes a let down..
     
  13. Jennings should fight Kev Johnson. And where is Byarm? He can be a force.
