Lots of Heavyweights in Action this weekend

HELL YES. Some real competitive match ups here, **** i think im looking forward to most if not all of them, to be fair i didt know about the Showtime card but i do now. so thanks for that. To be lazy i will say all the names you put 1st are the winners except the last one which im near enough clueless about.

As a British fight fan i think the one that stands out the most for me is the Dubois v Gorman fight. I cant wait for that one. Also very much looking forward to Joyce v Jennings. I expect Joyce to win but i like Jennings, not a high standard but hes relatively rounded as an operator and will bring a bit more game for Joyce to work with instead of them just standing there to take a beating.

Wallin v Flores could get tasty. Crap fight in the big scheme of things but that could produce some meaty dirty action.

 

Verrdicts still out on Yoka for me. He does look good, certainly dangerous but he looks good when he is controlling the fight. I feel he may look a bit basic if a better Boxer rips control of the fight from him when he steps in to the big time. But hes on his way, more top fighters the better in this division.

 

He’s got real skills, and he’s very fast for a 6’7” guy. Obviously there’s the PED question, but Dave Allen has said several times of all his opponents Yoka was the strongest. His time in the ams suggests his chin’s pretty bad though. He should blitz Dimitrenko pretty easily.

 

My Picks for the ones that I am interested in:-

Tony Yoka (2016 Olympic gold medalist) vs. Alexander Dimitrenko (Canal+ France)- YOKA TKO 8
Joe Joyce (2016 Olympic silver medalist) vs. Bryant Jennings (ESPN+ & BT Sport) on Saturday- JOYCE TKO 7
Daniel Dubois vs. Nathan Gorman (ESPN+ & BT Sport) on Saturday- DUBOIS UD12
Robert Helenius vs. Gerald Washington (FS1) on Saturday- HELENIUS KO5
Charles Martin vs. Daniel Martz (possibly FS1) on Saturday- MARTIN TKO2
Hughie Fury vs. Sam Peter (Channel 5 UK) on Friday- HUGHIE TKO4

 

Hope yoka loses, never going to happen against glass heart though

Helenius ko Washington

Hughie tko/corner retirement

Gorman tko Dubois

 

Joyce to stop Jennings while being maybe 5/3 down on the cards

 

The only outcome I can see too

 

My picks:
Yoka RTD5 Dimitrenko
Joyce TKO8 Jennings
Gorman UD Dubois
Helenius KTFO6 Washington
Martin TKO2 Martz
Fury RTD7 Peter
Wallin UD Flores
Franklin TKO8 Forrest
Dychko TKO3 Heaven

 

If hughie stuggles against peter then he’s done in my eyes.

24, he should have defended the British and mastered his craft domestically. What’s jabbing peter for 6 rounds till his eyes shut going to achieve?

 

Frank Sanchez is a prospect worth keeping eye on, fighting Jason Bergman on the same card as Washington Helenius I believe. These next two weekends are incredible for HW, though I’m wondering wth is going on with the Whyte-Rivas television outside of the UK.

 

I think he will be, but still not your typical choice for a guy’s 6th fight. If he gets rid of Dimitrenko faster than than Ruiz he gets a nice PR boost by being able to claim he handled his last opponent easier than the champ did, which should give him sufficient momentum. Both Allen and Joyce have expressed desire to have a rematch with him, so he’s got some appleaing options going forward to work his way into title contention.
