Just realised hes all out of funds Hes already got $100 in wagers so his next wager (until one of these fights happen) can only be for $10
Hmmmm.... sounds official that Hopkins vs Dawson 2 is going to happen? Im probably one of 5 boxing fans in the world that actually want to see that fight maybe but I admit Im pumped for the rematch!
Ruslan Provodnikov vs. David Torres- Ruslan Provodnikov by KO Yakubu Amidu vs. Ji Hoon Kim- Ji-Hoon Kim by KO Robinson Castellanos vs. Orlando Rizo- Robinson Castellanos by UD Carl Frampton vs. Kris Hughes- Carl Frampton by KO It's the end of the month, and on paper it looked as though it'd be a slow month, and in reality, it has been. This week should be no different. There's a couple of decent fights on tap, but nothing that really gets the blood boiling. Next week (next month) things will start picking up, and in a big way. So, just gotta get through this week, and we got some nice fights on the horizon. Anyway, that's next week, let's talk about this week. After a stellar season last year, Friday Night Fights is off to a bit of a slow start. This week, well, in terms of entertainment it should be fun because there should be knockouts, but in terms of a close fight, this probably isn't it. Ruslan Provodnikov is a familiar face on Friday Night Fights, he's been on 4 times, and is 3-1. He'll be looking to go 4-1 and he has a great chance to do that. David Torres is a solid fighter, who...can't get to that next level to be a real live contender. He's more of a journeyman with a glossy record. In a couple of years he'll be a good fighter for a prospect to step up against, is what I'm trying to say. In his last 4 fights he is 1-2-2, and two of those losses have been against that next level of fighters. Julio Diaz and Raymundo Beltran. They both knocked him out. And he's drawn against Santos Pakau and Michael Stewart. That's about his level, and against Provodnikov, that won't be enough. Provodnikov is a real good, impact puncher. He doesn't have that one punch power, but when he hits you, he hurts you. Torres doesn't have a good chin, his punch resistance isn't all there and this fight should be quick. This fight, probably, doesn't go past 4 or 5 rounds. Ji-Hoon Kim and Yakubu Amidu is an interesting fight. Kim, like Provodnikov, is a big hitter and doesn't know the meaning of defense. So, he is fan friendly in that regard. Kim though, his chin has been tested and it isn't rock hard. Hard hitting, once good looking prospect, Leo Zappavigna smashed him in 1 round. Now, Amidu he's a pretty hard hitter, not as hard as his record indicates though. Not even close. 20 wins 18 by knockout, you must be thinking he hits like George Foreman or something. Nah, he doesn't hit that hard. He's got decent power, but nothing earth shattering. But still, he may hit hard enough to trouble Kim. Kim struggled in his most recent fight against a novice so one has to wonder if Kim is pretty much down as a low level contender. So, this fight is interesting, because there are questions. Amidu has worked at Wild Card, and funny enough is managed by the actor Vince Vaughn. Don't think that's all that relevant, but just a funny foot note, none the less. Amidu has decent boxing skills he's a bit stiff, and has his chin sticking out a bit. And I don't think his chin is up to snuff. He's been stopped by Ricky Burns, who doesn't hit hard at all. I think that's the key. I think Kim can take Amidu's punches, while Amidu can't take Kim's punches. So, I've got Kim stopping Amidu somewhat early to mid rounds. I like this fight, Robinson Castellanos-Orlando Rizo could be one of those under the radar type fights that is a good fight. Like last week, David Quijano-Javier Gallo. Great fight, under the radar though, unfortunately. Anyway, Castellanos and Rizo are quite similar in a lot of ways. Both are have been hot winning there last 5 fights, same amount of KO's, and style wise there about the same. Both stand up, gloves up, not much of a jab, more a less just stick it out there. More of a range finder. Castellanos though is more of a back foot fighter and may'be a bit slower. Rizo, can fight backing up as well, but prefers fighting forward, and I think he'll mainly be the one moving forward. Both got good power in their back hand. So, I think it's going to be a pretty good fight. I'm favoring Castellanos because he's at home, Rizo has never fought in Mexico and has only fought outside Nicaragua just the one time. Plus, Castellanos has got pretty good timing, good countering abilities in his right hand. I think that could potentially trouble Rizo as he works his way in there. But this should be a good scrap. I'll take Castellanos by UD, but this is a toss up fight. Definitely could go either way. Barry McGuigan is very high on Carl Frampton, I think calling him the best prospect he's seen in 25 years. Something along those lines, but I highly, highly disagree with that. Not to say that he isn't a good fighter, yeah, he looks pretty good, but I've seen better prospects in the past 5 years. Carl Frampton is a fun fighter, but he's flawed. He doesn't have any defense to speak of. He's still really green, this will only be his 12th fight, and they have gone nice and slow, but they are slowly getting him good developmental fights. In his 2nd to last fight he fought Robbie Turley a real crafty, unorthodox type fight. And Turley gave him fits. Turley was able to land and if Turley had any power to speak of he would have given Frampton boat loads of trouble. This fight with Kris Hughes I think could emulate that fight. Hughes is a lanky, very tall southpaw. He has no paw, so he won't trouble Frampton at all with his power, if Hughes sticks on the outside and uses that long jab he could definitely pull off an upset...well, if the judges score it right. Close fight though, I think this will be very close, and I'm definitely not going to pick Hughes because he's not the chosen one. So, I'm going with the safe pick in Frampton, but I'd expect a close fight. If Frampton can get in and use his power and stop Hughes, that would definitely be impressive, but I think, eventually, Frampton gets to Hughes in the later rounds and stops him. You know, one of those British stoppages. So, to recap, I expect a close fight, but a late, bit of a questionable stoppage.
Yeah, I'm actually looking forward to the fight as well. I think it is interesting to see how that fight will play out for 12 rounds. Hopkins looked a bit troubled as Dawson pressed him. I would like to know if Hopkins could have started figuring him out and timing him coming in. Hopefully, we'll get an answer come April.
