DemolitionDan Predicts the fights for 19th and 20th August, 2011

 

Good news and bad news this week. Starting with the good news: We have another good week of fights. The bad news: This is the Season Finale of ESPN 2's Friday Night Fights. It's an unfortunate situation, but let's not dwell on that. Let's look forward to the two great fights on Friday Night Fights, and the rest of the weekend.

 

Starting off with Rocky Fuentes-Hirofumi Mukai. These two fighters are both 25 years old, but started out on different ends of the spectrum. Rocky Fuentes turned pro at 17 and really took his lumps early. Since turning 21 years old, he has only lost once and that was an 8 round SD loss to Richie Mepranum. Who is a top 112 pound fighter and has fought for a world title. No shame losing to him, especially at 21 years old. He has, since losing that fight, rattled off 9 straight wins and has picked up a regional title, the OPBF 112 belt, and is going to defend it against the very very green, Hirofumi Mukai. Mukai is 25 years old as well, but he has only 5 fights, all wins. He is a very tall, talented, and a fast prospect that is getting fast tracked just like newly world titlist, Kazuto Ioka. For the prediction I gotta go with the hometown talent, Hirofumi Mukai. Much like how Ioka proved talent > experience. I think this will be a case of talent over experience and I'm going with the very green Mukai to pull off a big win in his career. I believe his range, output, and speed wins him this fight.

 

Like Mukai, Tomas Rojas is a tall drink of water, at 115 pounds. He is going over to Thailand to defend his belt against Suriyan Sor Rungvisai. Tomas Rojas has been on a tear since getting knocked out in 2 against Vic Darchinyan. He won a couple of tune up bouts, and then got an opportunity to fly over to Japan and pick up a world title. He was able to win, and has defended it twice. Once against Nobuo Nashiro, and Juan Jose Montes. Suriyan Por Rungvisai, nobody really had known about him, until his fight with the legend Pongsaklek Wonjongkam. He fought back and forth with Pongsaklek, and almost pulled off a draw. He was deducted a point and that cost him a draw against Pong. He has since tacked on 4 straight wins after that fight, and the 22 year old is looking to making due of his next big opportunity. Now, fighting for a world title belt he can launch his career with a win. Style wise, Rojas uses his frame well. Boxes on the outside, throws a lot of punches. Rojas is a smart fighter. His intellect, experience, and style wins him the fight on the cards. May’be even gets a late stoppage. Rungvisai is definitely very game, but Rojas is just too much for him.
