With the NCAA college basketball tournament wrapping up this weekend, not too many stateside boxing promoters have anything scheduled in opposition. The two most notable cards of the week are in Europe.
On Friday, Mikey Garcia-conquerer Sandor Martin meets Jose Felix in a super lightweight clash on DAZN from Barcelona, Spain.
On Saturday, Claressa Shields’ arch-rival Savannah Marshall defends her WBO female middleweight belt against Femke Hermans at the Newcastle Arena in Newcastle, England. Sky Sports will air the bout in the UK. No US carrier yet.
Also Saturday, ESPN+ streams a card from the BUAP Arena in Puebla, Puebla, Mexico, featuring WBC female bantamweight champion Yuliahn “Cobrita” Luna defending against Mayeli Flores.
So slim pickings this weekend, but all hell breaks loose next weekend with GGG-Murata, Kingry-Tagoe, Lubin-Fundora, both Moloneys and much more.
– Looks like I’ll be watching YouTube this weekend for old fight replays.
– Any recommendations from the FightNews posters out there ??
Yeah salvador sanchez vs rueben castillo… lupe pintor vs Wilfred gomez…ray Mancini vs Alexis arguello… Bobby Chacon vs Danny lopez…Bert Cooper vs Michael moorer…
Before I scrolled down, I saw this and said the man you want to find is Johnny Ace and there he is. He has a ton of great recs for older fights.
One crazy one that I watched not too long ago, Ezra Sellers – Carl Thompson. Sellers ended at 29-8 with 26kos and all of his losses were by stoppage. Either he got you or you got him. He had another one with Alex Stewart – didn’t make to the end of the third round, but had almost 10 knockdowns between them.
Go watch Nonito Donnaire vs Vic Darchynian. That’s a KO!
Philjul:
– I remember that fight.
– Vic didn’t know that he was KO’d.
Alexis Arguello vs Alfredo Escalera II, Michael Carbajal vs Chiquita Gonzalez I
Chacon vs Limon 4 fight of the year 84 i think..
1982..
Marvin Hagler VS Marcus Geraldo
Jeff Fenech VS Azumah Nelson 1
Can’t go wrong with either.
Juan “Kid” Meza vs Jaime Garza. Marcos Villasana vs Jaime Garza.
Both fights were Bombs away!
Thank you, all !!
