Taduran dethrones IBF 105lb champ Shigeoka

By Joe Koizumi

Filipino hard-puncher Pedro Taduran (17-4-1, 13 KOs), 104.25, regained IBF 105-pound belt when he kept battering defending champ Ginjiro Shigeoka (11-1-1NC, 9 KOs), 105, and finally halted him at 2:50 of the ninth round on Sunday in Shiga, Japan.

It was an encounter of the southpaw punchers, and IBF#1 Taduran had the upper hand from the start. The Filipino had the Japanese champ’s right optic puffed and later almost closed as the contest progressed. It was Taduran, three years his senior at 27, that often connected with overhand lefts to the shorter champ and took the initiative. Ginjiro fought back well to show his heart, but Pedro landed more effective shots to the face and to the belly, which gradually had him slowing down. The eighth saw Taduran accelerate his furious attack and so obviously hurt Shigeoka that US referee Steve Willis called a halt to save the champ from further punishment.

Ex-champ Berchelt TKOs Triana in Mexico

Former WBC super featherweight world champion Miguel ‘El Alacran’ Berchelt (40-3, 36 KOs) of Mexico stopped Jeremy Triana (15-6-3, 13, KOs) of Colombia in round three of their scheduled for 10 round bout. The event took place Saturday night in Tlaxcala, Tlaxcala, Mexico. Berchelt started off very strong with several head snapping jabs on Triana in round one. In round two Berchelt began to work the body of Triana. In the very same round Triana landed a very hard uppercut during an exchange which caught the attention of Berchelt. The third and final round saw Berchelt hurt Triana badly to the body where Triana was very unsteady on his legs. The referee called a brief halt to the action for the ring doctor to check a cut over the right eye of Triana. Moments later, Triana was ruled fit to continue. The action resumed and Berchelt went to work with a barrage of unanswered punches and the referee rightfully stepped in to stop the bout. The official time of the stoppage was 2:36 of round three.

Otto Wallin Interview

Action Network spoken to Swedish heavyweight Otto Wallin (26-2, 14 KOs) in an exclusive interview ahead of his clash with Onorede Ehwarieme (20-4, 19 KOs). Wallin commented on his upcoming fight, predicted Joshua vs Dubois and said that Deontay Wilder needs to put his health first.

Some top-line quotes:

AJ In Five

I think that Dubois and Joshua will be a good fight. If Dubois comes out like he did in his last fight against Hrgovic, he was hit a lot, with one-two’s. You can’t take those shots from Joshua because his punch is very, very hard.

So if he comes out the same way against Joshua, then I think Joshua wins by knockout before round five. But if Dubois has tightened up his defense a little bit and can hit Joshua with a few good shots then it could turn into an interesting fight. Continue reading “Otto Wallin Interview”
