The World Boxing Organization (WBO), chaired by Francisco “Paco” Valcárcel, will celebrate five interesting title fights; two of which are for world championships. The bouts will take place this Saturday, Maj 12.

 

 

 

Brooklyn native Saddam “World Kid” Ali (26-1, 14 KO s), coming off the most important victory of his career against legendary Puerto Rican boxer Miguel Cotto, makes the first defense of his WBO junior middleweight world title, when he faces the dangerous Mexican Jaime Munguía (28-0, 24 KO s). The fight will take place at the Turning Stone Resort & Casino in Verona, New York. The fight will be televised live on HBO at 10:00 p.m. OG.

 

 

 

“We will have a lot of activity this Saturday from the WBO. You have to pay close attention to the performance of the huge puncher Jaime Munguía, who will face a good attacker like Ali. It’s going to be a classic fight of puncher against a boxer. If Munguía wins, he would be placed on a select list of great Mexican boxers who have been world champions at or before 21 years of age”, said Valcárcel.

 

 

 

In Augsburg, Tyskland, women’s boxing takes the stage when the popular former world champion Nikki Adler (16-1, 9 KO s) of Germany and the world contender Femke Hermans (6-1, 3 KO s) of Belgium, face each other for the vacant WBO world belt of the super middleweight division. The fight will be in the Eisstadion in Augsburg.

 

 

 

“We remain committed and supportive of women’s boxing. Germany is no exception. This great fight has the community looking on because there is a world title at stake and the fight will be liked by the public”, said Valcárcel.

 

In Latvia, three WBO International titles will be in play in 12-round duels in an evening at the Riga Arena. For the vacant International junior middleweight belt, the 13th ranked Ismail Iliev (10-0-1, 3 KO s) of Nazran, Russia will face Konstantin Ponomarev (33-0, 13 KO s) of Miass, Rusland.

 

 

 

Også, the WBO International Lightweight Champion and 5th ranked Isa Chaniev (12-1, 6 KO s) of Nazran, Rusland, will defend his title against the strong Venezuelan puncher, Ismael Barroso (20-1-2, 19 KO s).

 

 

 

For the vacant middleweight WBO International belt, Artur Akavov (18-2, 12 KO s) from Russia, will face against Argentina’s Gonzalo Coria (12-1, 5 KO s).

 

 

 

“We are making a presence in eastern Europe. Denne gang, it was Latvia’s turn to have boxers who are already ranked in the top positions of the WBO and for the rest of the year, could be fighting for world titles”, expressed Varcárcel.

Kan Saunders sikre sig sin mest imponerende gevinst til dato over Lemieux?

Efterlad en kommentar

Billy Joe Saunders tager til ringen i december 16 i Canada som den regerende og forsvarende WBO-mellemvægtmester, at være den stolte ejer af et bælte, som han vandt helt tilbage i december 2015 når besejre medrejsende Andy Lee.

 

Men siden han udpegede irske Lee med en flertalsbeslutnings succes at blive verdensmester på Manchester Arena, Saunders har kun forsvaret det ved to lejligheder, med enstemmig beslutning triumferer over Artur Akavov og Willie Monroe Jr., for nylig.

 

Mod spillet russisk Akavov, den ubesejrede verdens titelholder var langt fra imponerende og måske endda heldig at få en så behagelig beslutning i sidste ende på Lagoon Leisure Centre på skotsk jord. Sejren over den amerikanske udfordrer Monroe Jr var meget bedre, efter at have påtaget sig Dominic Ingle som sin nyeste træner.

 

Men sidstnævnte kamp var stadig en trist affære og gjorde intet for at fremme eller øge Saunders’ appellerer til et bredere publikum, da han overarbejdede den New York-fødte Southpaw ganske behageligt. For det meste af titelforsvaret, han blev slet ikke brugt til at arbejde, med Monroe, der er kommet ind med et bizart ineffektivt gameplan.

 

Men, den 28-årige næste vil uden tvivl møde hans hårdeste karriere test til dato mod tidligere £ 160-mester David Lemieux, en langt mere seriøs udfordring end en uerfaren og ungdommelig Chris Eubank Jr., en ligeglad Andy Lee og langt fra at true Willy Monroe Junior.

 

Hårdtslående canadiske Lemieux kommer ind i ringtovene som den jævnlige outsider i de seneste boksodds at sejre på hjemlandet, en lovende pris for en kæmper med en kraftig bølge af sejre for sent. Siden blev ondskabsfuldt stoppet i et galant show mod divisionens kongehoved Gennady Golovkin i oktober 2015, 28-åringen har vundet fire sejre i træk, inklusive to store knockouts af Glen Tapia og Curtis Stevens.


Af alle modstandere har Saunders gået tå til tå med til dato, ingen har haft Lemieuxs stansekraft, og det kunne være en afgørende faktor for kampnat. Sidstnævnte hjemhåb fremmes af Oscar De La Hoyas Golden Boy, der tilsyneladende er ivrige efter at matche den canadiske med den største pengeko Saul 'Canelo’ Alvarez næste år, snarere end at smide ham med 'GGG’ endnu en gang i en meget ventet omkamp.

 

På trods af at være favoritten til at sejre og opretholde sin ubesejrede rekord om, hvad der bliver hans jomfruforetagende uden for Storbritannien i sin professionelle karriere, det ser ud til, at oddsene faktisk er stablet mod Saunders for dette seneste møde.

 

Det har været tydeligt, for, at Saunders ikke kan prale af den massive magt, der er i stand til at holde en flådfodet Lemieux væk fra fareområderne i hele deres match-up. Knockout-kunstneren Lemieux producerede det, der til sidst kunne vælges til årets stop tilbage i marts, da han brutalt satte Stevens’ lyser ud i New York City.

 

Kan en anden ondskabsfuld succes være på kortene i hjemmet? Det er op til Saunders og Ingle at udføre deres kommende gameplan perfekt for at sikre, hvad der ville være en meget imponerende sejr på vejen, men det ser sandsynligt ud til at blive en virkelig testnat i Quebec.

The tough southpaw won his first world championship 15 years ago and remains one of the world’s best. “I look forward to making a statement in the Narvaez fight and taking a step closer to a world title,” continued Potapov.

“Nikolai is one of the best bantamweights in the world,” said his promoter, Dmitriy Salita. “A win over a top fighter a former world champion like Narvaez will put the division on notice. Nikolai is coming to make a name for himself on Oktober 14.”
