Eric Armit’s Weekly Boxing Report: Felix Verdejo, Radivoje Kalajdzic, Gary Russell Jr

 

The Past Week In Action 20 April 2016

 

April 14

 

Sarcelles, France: Super Bantam: Jeremy Parodi (38-3-1) W PTS 12 Emiliano Salvini (17-22-2). Bantam: Yoan Boyeaux (37-4,1ND) W PTS 6 Raymi Gregorian (6-3-2).

 

Parodi vs. Salvini

 

Parodi is now European Union champion as he takes wide unanimous decision over Salvini. The Toulon fighter was in charge almost all the way in this one as he was busier and more accurate than the older Italian who had a good second round but it was the only one he won. Parodi rebounds from loss to Brit Gavin McDonnell for the EBU title in October. One of the other two losses on Parodi’s record was against Carl Frampton, also for the EBU title. Scores 119-109 twice and 118-110. He was knocked out with a body punch against Frampton and lost a wide decision to McDonnell, but if McDonnell goes for a world title and the EBU title becomes vacant at EBU No 3 Parodi is in line for a shot at the vacant title. Italian Salvini, 37, has previously fought for both the EBU and EU titles and in October was halted in six rounds by Spaniard Abigail Medina for the EU title.

Eric Armit’s Weekly Boxing Report: Canelo Alvarez, Anthony Crolla, Kubrat Pulev

 

The Past Week In Action 10 May 2016

 

May 6

 

Las Vegas, NV: Welter: Alan Sanchez (18-3-1) W PTS 10 Pablo Cesar Cano (29-5-1,1ND). Light: Petr Petrov (37-4-2) W RTD 6 Marvin Quintero (28-7). Super Bantam: Horacio Garcia (30-1-1) DREW 10 Erik Ruiz (15-5-1).Feather: Joet Gonzalez (13-0) W PTS 8 Ricardo Proano (11-3).

 

Sanchez vs. Cano

 

Sanchez gets important win as he continues his good run with a split decision over Cano. The tall Californian boxed an intelligent fight in the early rounds using his edges in height and reach combined with some clever movement to keep Cano from asserting his aggressive fight plan. Cano kept coming forward but was frustrated by the skills of Sanchez. The pattern hardly changed from the first round with Sanchez on the back foot circling the ring with Cano pacing after him but usually only catching quick shots from Sanchez for his trouble. Sanchez was quicker to the punch scoring with quick one/two shots and getting away before Cano could counter. When Cano was able to catch up with Sanchez he was focusing on landing left hooks to the body and straight rights but rarely had Sanchez in position long enough to land more than one or two punches. Cano finished the third strongly but Sanchez took centre ring in the fourth and scored with a series of good head punches. Then he was back on his toes with Cano in pursuit and landing a nice left hook/straight right combination at the end of the round. Sanchez dominated the fifth scoring with a succession of stabbing jabs and right crosses and he outboxed Cano in the sixth. Cano had a better seventh scoring with left hooks and overhand rights as he continued his pursuit and he was able to force Sanchez to stand and trade more in the eighth and scored with a good left hook and overhand right late in the round. Cano came forward relentlessly in the ninth and tenth but Sanchez was on his toes again and slotting punches through Cano’s guard as he collected an important win. Scores 97-93 twice for Sanchez and 96-94 for Cano. The 25-year-old Sanchez is now 12-1 in his last 13 fights with his loss being on points against Luis Collazo in 2013 and this is his sixth win since then. He lifts the vacant WBC Continental Americas title. Cano, 26, a former WBA super light challenger and WBA interim champion scored useful wins over Jorge Silva and Silverio Ortiz last year and can rebound from this but will probably always come up short again world class opposition.

 

Petrov vs. Quintero

 

In an exciting brutal battle Petrov gets win over Quintero at the end of the sixth due the left eye of the Mexican being totally closed. This was a wide-open slugfest with both scoring with heavy punches in constant trading. The first round was close with Quintero getting through with a southpaw uppercut. In the second Petrov was scoring early with straight rights and left hooks with Quintero finishing the round strongly but already there was swelling over his left eye restricting his vision. The third followed the same pattern with Petrov again scoring with rights early and Quintero staging a strong finish. In the fifth he landed a left hook that set Petrov back on his heels but the Russian was again landing hard head shots with the swelling over Quintero’s right eye closing the eye completely. The fifth saw Quintero corner Petrov early and bang home hooks only for Petrov to take over and score with clubbing head punches. With no vision out of his left eye Quintero had been given one more round and threw everything into his early attacks in the sixthbut Petrov took over and was getting through with thudding shots as Quintero faded looking exhausted and arm weary. The fight was called off at the end of the round. “Zar” Petrov, 33, is finally getting the attention he deserves. After losing only two of his first 33 fights he was beaten by Marcos Maidana for the secondary WBA super light title in 2011 and outpointed by Dejan Zlaticanin in 2013. He showed his class in winning the ESPN Boxcino in 2014 but had only one fight in 2015 climbing off the floor to beat Gamaliel Diaz . He retains his WBA/NABA title and wins the vacant NABF title throwing his hat into the ring in the lightweight. Quintero, 29, lost a split decision to Miguel Vazquez for the IBF title in 2012 but was derailed by losses to Rustam Nugaev and in April last year to Jose A Gonzalez. He had scored two wins since then and was a very live opponent in this one.

Eric Armit's Weekly Boxing Report: Andre Ward, Rob Brant

 

The Past Week in Action 9 August 2016

 

August 4

 

Hamburg, Germany: Heavy: Odlanier Solis (21-3) W KO 2 Milos Dovedan (2-26)

 

This piece of rubbish did not last long. If there had been a prize for the least fit boxer Dovedan would have won that although Solis ran him very close. As for the fight Dovedan came out throwing long slow punches some of which got home as Solis was just ignoring them. The Cuban landed a few rights to the body and a couple of right uppercuts and Dovedan was looking tired after less than two minutes. A left hook to his ample body put Dovedan down early in the second. He got up and after the eight count he continued but was too tired to hold his arms up and another right to the body saw him go down on one knee shaking his head and he stayed there for the full count. The 36-year-old Cuban Solis gets a win in his first fight since quitting against Tony Thompson in February 2015 but this was awful. Poor Serb Dovedon, 35, has now lost his last 16 fights in a row, 13 of them by KO/TKO. I know it was the Cuban first fight for 18 months but this was inexcusable and a disgrace.

 

August 5

 

Gauteng, South Africa: Super Feather: Malcolm Klassen (33-6-2) W PTS 12 Jack Asis (35-19-5). Feather: Macbute Sinyabi (29-4) W PTS 12 Rivo Rengkung (34-23-6). Super Bantam: Jhon Gemino (15-7-1) W KO 9 Toto Helebe (17-7).Super Bantam: Bongani Mahlangu (20-7) W TKO 7 Unathi Gqokoma (20-8-2).

 

Klassen vs. Asis

 

Klassen wins the IBO title with points victory over champion Asis. Klassen had an edge in skills and needed it as Asis kept pressing. Klassen made good use of his jab and managed to smother the inside work of the Aussie-based Filipino. Klassen piled up the points against slow-starter Asis and it looked as though Klassen was going to box his way comfortably to victory. However, although both are at the veteran stage, from the eighth Klassen began to tire and Asis just kept coming. By the end Asis had almost close the gap but ran out of rounds and Klassen took the unanimous decision. Scores 117-111, 117-112 and 116-112 all for Klassen but it looked a bit closer than that. The 34-year-old “Stone” a former two-time IBF champion is on a good run with 9 wins in his last 10 fights including a victory in Namibia over Paulus Moses. The loss was in the 9-1 sequence was in Australia against Will Tomlinson for this same title and it still rankled with Klassen. He had vowed to put things right and he did so here. He is No 11 with the WBA. Asis, 33, was unbeaten in his last 15 fights so in good form but he just came up short in this first defence of his title. The fight had been delayed by a week after Asis demanded that the IBO appoint neutral officials.

 

Sinyabi vs. Rengkung

Eric Armit’s Snips & Snipes: Olympic Boxing fall out, Pacquiao and latest news

 

The Olympic Games are such a big event that over the past month they have largely pushed professional boxing off the back pages and the TV screens. The Games are over so it is back to business with a bang. On the weekend of 9/10 September in title fights we have Gennady Golovkin vs. Kell Brook, Carlos Cuadras vs. Ramon Gonzalez , John Riel Casimero vs. Charlie Edwards, Lee Haskins vs. Stuart Hall, Daniel Jacobs vs. Sergio Mora and Robert Easter vs. Richard Commey. On the weekend of 16/17 we have Shinsuke Yamanaka vs. Anselmo Moreno, Hugo Ruiz vs. Hozumi Hasegawa, Krzys Glowacki vs. Olek Usyk and of course Saul Alvarez vs. Liam Smith and those are just the world title fights. There are plenty other top flight fighters in action. Further down the time line we have Sergey Kovalev vs. Andre Ward. Welcome back big time boxing we’ve missed you.

 

Are the great days finally over for Manny Pacquiao now that HBO have refused to buy the Manny Pacquiao vs. Jesse Vargas fight? Nothing personal, it is a business decision. They have looked at what the fight would cost them and what the potential revenue would be and decided the business case does not add up. Even at 37 “Pac Man” would still be at least 50/50 to beat any welterweight in the world but he is not the solid gold PPV seller he was. Of course it is also about Jesses Vargas who despite an impressive win over Sadam Ali as yet does not have the profile to be a PPV fighter off his own bat so he has to fly on Pacquiao’s coat tails for now. A win would give Pacquiao the WBO title and Tim Bradley would be his mandatory challenger. After three fights which did not set the world alight a fourth Pacquiao vs. Bradley fight would be a hard sell. A loss would spell the end of a truly great career but in either case the times they are a changing. No fighter in the history of boxing has won world titles at both flyweight and welterweight and no other Filipino sportsman has done as much to bring pride and prestige to his nation. If he promises to make the Vargas fight his last one I promise to travel to the Hall of Fame in five years time to see him get the Hall of Fame ring and the fist cast he so richly deserves. Better get myself a piggy bank.
