[FIGHT PREVIEWS] Sergey Kovalev vs Cedric Agnew, Karim Mayfield vs Thomas Dulorme, Boxcino tournament, Antonin Decarie vs Pablo Munquia, Kenkaosan Kaovichit vs Kohei Kono + more
Wednesday March 26
From Korakuen Hall, Tokyo, Japan
Kenkaosan Kaovichit 62(26)-3-1 vs Kohei Kono 29(12)-8
12 rounds vacant WBA world super flyweight title If you all remember the fight between Liborio Solis and Daiki Kameda last year, the one where Solis failed to make weight, beat Kameda, and then Kameda kept the IBF title? The one that caused all the outrage? Well, the WBA belt was also up for grabs in that fight, was vacated, and now will be contested between Kaovichit and Kono. Both have held the title before. Kaovichit is 37 and if he wins will have won 13 in a row since getting knocked in the first round by Luis Concepcion in 2010. This may look impressive, but his fights have mostly been in Thailand against guys with questionable records. Kono has previously held this very same title before losing it to Solis by majority decision last summer.

Antonin Decarie 29(9)-2 vs Pablo Munquia 19(11)-4
10 rounds welterweight division You may remember Decarie from the Martinez-Murray undercard. It was yet another prospect that Luis Carlos Abregu upset. It can be argued that Decarie was never really some huge prospect, but he had signs and potential, that’s for sure. Munguia should not be overlooked. He’s a tough Mexican welterweight and if Decarie is to win, he’d better plan on knocking him out. This fight will be on pay-per-view on gofightlive. From 4 Bears Casino & Lodge, New Town, North Dakota
Christopher Deon Rudd 13(8)-1 vs Peter Petrov 33(15)-4-2
8 rounds lightweight semifinals in Boxcino tournament
Miguel Angel Gonzalez 23(16)-3 vs Fernando Carcamo Garcia 16(13)-5
8 rounds lightweight semifinals in Boxcino tournament The thing I’m wondering is whether or not winning this tournament warrants a title shot.
Saturday March 29
From Metro Radio Arena, Newcastle, Tyne and Wear, UK
Stuart Hall 16(7)-2-1 vs Martin Ward 18(4)-2
12 rounds IBF bantamweight title I know what you’re thinking. What the—I didn’t know Stuart Hall was a champion at bantamweight. In fact… who the hell is Stuart Hall? Hall is a 34 year old coming off a thrilling fight with Vusi Malinga. The truth is that Hall isn’t a world level fighter. I can’t see him competing with Solis or Moreno, but he will certainly entertain on the domestic level.
Jon Lewis Dickinson 14(3)-2 vs Neil Dawson 12(5)-2
12 rounds cruiserweight division This has 12 rounds written all over it…
Frankie Gavin 18(12)-0 vs Sacky Shikukutu 18(12)-2-1
12 rounds welterweight division The only thing we can be grateful for here is that Bradley Skeete isn’t on the card. I suppose Frank Warren learned his lesson the last time he put the 2 on a card together. Gavin is a very skilled boxer, but he relies heavily on fighting from the jab and clinching. You’ve been warned. From The Ballroom, Boardwalk Hall, Atlantic City, New Jersey
Sergey Kovalev 23(21)-0-1 vs Cedric Agnew 26(13)-0
12 rounds WBO light heavyweight title First and foremost, no, this won’t be officiated by Steve Smoger. Second, Agnew is only the second undefeated fighter Kovalev has faced. Third, that means nothing. Agnew’s most notable win came in his last fight against Yusaf Mack. Mack’s claim to fame was fighting for the IBF super middleweight title twice against Cloud and Froch and coming up short. Agnew had a successful amateur career, but none of that will matter Saturday if he can’t handle Kovalev’s power. Angew is a bit stationary and doesn’t move his head too much. A perfect opponent for Kovalev. A win for Agnew would not only be a huge upset, but an even bigger obstacle for anyone hoping to someday see Kovalev take on Stevenson.
Karim Mayfield 18(11)-0-1 vs Thomas Dulorme 20(14)-1
10 rounds light welterweight division I thought Dulorme, 27, was on his way to stardom before he faced Abregu. It turns out Dulorme doesn’t respond well to heavy punchers. He’s now training with Robert Garcia, and while Garcia is an excellent trainer, something you can’t teach is chin. When this fight was made, I thought it was a bad idea for Dulorme. It’s a sink or swim kind of fight for him and if he’s to continue as a rising star in the game, he’ll have to get rid of Mayfield. The problem will be whether he can take Mayfield’s punches. Mayfield is deceptively heavy handed, he’s quick, and he’s been used as a sparring partner by some of the best fighters in the game. Mayfield reminds me of a young Shane Mosley… just not as good. This fight should be a good one. From Texas Station Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada
Alejandro Perez 19(13)-3-1 vs Juan Carlos Martinez 19(7)-14-1
10 rounds super featherweight division This fight will be the main event and I’m not sure why… oh wait I know. Perez is being fed Martinez simply for highlight reels so that he can look like a viable opponent against WBA featherweight champion Nicholas Walters.
Jose Carlos Ramirez 8(6)-0 vs Boyd Henley 10(9)-3-1
6 rounds light welterweight division Everybody is quick to proclaim, Top Rank is dead! Long live Golden Boy they OWN the welterweight division!!!! And I always say calm down, you only know half the story. Golden Boy may have the welterweight division locked down right now, but their prospects aren’t as promising as Top Rank’s. Case in point, Jose Carlos Ramirez. If you like come forward guys who are looking to put a beating on someone, this is your guy. I mention him in every ‘who’s the best prospect in boxing’ post and here’s your chance to see him. Ramirez is hyper aggressive and always looks like he puts everything into his punches. His footwork is good, he’s a little raw with his head movement, but he shows a ton of promise. Ramirez is missing elite conditioning, but this guy is perhaps the best finisher in the sport. Seriously. Watch the end of this fight. Notice how he uses his jab to keep Perez at a range he wants him. Then he gets him in the corner and unloads like no other. The counter left hook that stuns Perez initially is a thing of beauty. It was like watching Clayton Kershaw drop the hook on a 2-2 count when the guy is expecting a fastball.
Brian Viloria 32(19)-4 vs Juan Herrera 9(4)-7
10 rounds super flyweight division I bet you didn’t know Viloria was going to be on this card! You probably didn’t even know he was still fighting! Well he’s back after almost a year off. It’s going to be interesting to see how he responds after his fight with Juan Francisco Estrada last year where Viloria just didn’t look like himself. Viloria is 33 and before the Estrada fight was arguably the top flyweight in the world and many people even put him on pound-for-pound lists. After the Estrada fight, it appeared Viloria didn’t have it anymore. He looked like he could no longer pull the trigger, which happens as fighter age. Herrera won’t be a good gauge of where Viloria currently stands as a prizefighter. Herrera is a tune-up, get the rust off fight before the real return of Viloria on the May 31st Macao card that will feature Nonito Donaire making a bid for the WBA and IBO featherweight title against Chris John conqueror Simpiwe Vetyeka. Viloria doesn’t have an opponent yet, but my guess is Hernan “Tyson” Marquez if he wishes to go back down to flyweight. The flyweight division is the most talent rich in the sport. A lot of people point to welterweight, but that’s only because they know more about the welterweight division. If Viloria is to continue as an elite flyweight, he’ll have no shortage of stiff competition. (By the way, HBO passed on televising this card.)
Jose Benavides 18(14)-0 vs Jesus Selig 16(10)-2-1
8 rounds welterweight division Another example of Top Rank being set-up nicely for the future. Jose Benavides is a 21 year old prospect who’s progressing nicely in the welterweight division. Top Rank isn’t rushing him, and really there’s no need. He’s young, he can punch, marketable look, and an impressive amateur record. This should be an easy fight for Benavides.
