Some really good fights coming up. And there will be many more by the end of the year.

Boytsov vs Guinn is a crap fight..... Boytsov could fight a 90 year old woman and it would be a good step up or if he could stop this woman before the 5th round because it has never been done before he would be king ****

Good matchups!!

But the HW's are very limited in skill minus the Klitschko's...When your 3rd ranked fighter is Povetkin, you know your division is garbage.

Klitschko Klitschko is the 2nd biggest fight out there to be made...MAKE IT!

Mitchell-Witherspoon, Dimitrenko-Pulev and Adamek-Chambers are all solid, meaningfull HW matches. The rest are non factors in my opinion.

Mitchell-Witherspoon is meaningful, how? It's an ok stay busy fight for Mitchell but that's it, a win over Witherspoon won't move him up the ladder whatsoever.

vs Guinn

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.

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

vs Chazz Witherspoon

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

The Boystov/Guinn and Chambers/Adamek fights ought to be good.
