Tyson Fury Vs Kevin Johnson – One of the most highly talked about Heavyweight prospects, up against and experienced American, who has been known for talking the talk but not walking the walk. In this fight we will find out how good these two Heavyweight’s really are, and whether they are ready for a Klitschko. 1/12/12 Seth Mitchell Vs Jonathan Banks – You won’t have to wait long for this fight as it takes place this weekend on the Antonio DeMarco/Adrien Broner under-card. Banks has the experience and skills, but Mitchell has the strength and power. How much has Mitchell learnt from his first round scare against Chazz Witherspoon? We’ll find out this Saturday. 17/11/12 Mike Perez Vs Ruslan Chagaev - This fight is similar to the f Wed, 14 Nov 2012 20:48:46 -0500 http://network.yardbarker.com/boxing/article_external/fights_in_the_boxing_heavyweight_division_to_look_forward_to/12215311 http://network.yardbarker.com/boxing/article_external/fights_in_the_boxing_heavyweight_division_to_look_forward_to/12215311 Fights in the Boxing Heavyweight division to look forward to! http://www.yardbarker.com/boxing/articles/fights_in_the_boxing_heavyweight_division_to_look_forward_to/12215311 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png The Hangar at the OC Fair & Event Center will get the month of September off to a rousing start on Saturday the 8th when unbeaten junior welterweight rising star Luis Ramos Jr. looks for win number 23 in a row against veteran standout Noe Bolaños in a 10-round bout that headlines September's edition of Golden Boy Promotions' boxing series on FOX Sports Net and FOX Deportes. In the co-main event, scheduled for 10 rounds in the heavyweight division, 2008 United States Bronze Medalist Deontay "Bronze Bomber" Wilder looks for his 25th knockout in 25 fights against fellow unbeaten Damon McCreary. 24-year-old Luis Ramos Jr. (22-0, 9 KO's) has shown remarkable skill and poise with each successive step up in competition he has taken. In 2011, Ramos began his run to the top with big wins over Francisco Lorenzo and David Rodela, but this year, the Santa Ana, Calif. southpaw upped the ante even more by decisioning respected contender Raymundo Beltran in Jan...

Hank Lundy vs. Raymundo Beltran Hank Lundy turned in a very disappointing performance Friday night and lost a ten round majority decision to journeyman Raymundo Beltran.  The loss for Lundy is particularly disappointing as he seemed on the verge of a big fight, possibly against Adrien Broner, in his next bout. In my estimation, while Beltran fought a good fight, Lundy has only himself to blame for the loss.  He clearly did not take this fight seriously and was overlooking Beltran. It took Lundy four attempts to make weight on Thursday in what was the first sign that Lundy did not take his trainin...

The Olympic boxing has us furiously tapping at keyboards and burning the midnight oil. The same thing cannot be said of the pro schedule which is rather, um, sparse this week. There are three televised shows which, you might have been able to guess from this post’s title, are not exactly packed with marquee names. The Magdaleno bros, Diego and Jesse, are fighting on TeleFutura and ESPN2, respectively. The ESPN2 fight is headlined by Filipino lightweight Mercito Gesta. That’s more or less it, really. Mercito Gesta vs. Ty Barnett, Friday, ESPN2, Las Vegas. Comparing Filipino fighters to Manny Pacquiao is getting to be a bit of a boxing cliché, but it’s so easy goddamit! Especially with someone like lightweight Mercito “No Mercy” Gesta (25-0-1), a southpaw with a furious two fisted assault. Gesta faces Ty Barnett (20-2-1) of Washington DC, whose last two opponents (after a KO loss) have a combined record of 22...

Later that year, he turned professional with a second round technical knockout over Ethan Cox. Since then, no one has gotten out of the fourth round against the exciting knockout artist. He has gone 3-0 in 2012 thus far, with his most recent win over former world title challenger Owen Beck proving that he's ready for prime time. Wilder ...
