On The Watch “It’s All about Mikaela Mayer vs Chantelle Cameron”

WBA/WBC/WBO Super Welterweight Unification Showdown

Yesterday’s MVP Promotions/Sky Sports/ESPN + Main Event between WBA/WBC Super Welterweight Champion Mikaela Mayer (22-3, 5 Kos) and WBO Super Welterweight Champion Chantelle Cameron (23-1, 8 Kos) did not disappoint as the two warriors brought the “HEAT” to the bp Pulse LIVE in Birmingham, England.

Both ladies went to work right from the jump, exchanging leather for leather and landing heavy shots on one another from all angles, round by round. The pace these two combatants were moving at definitely benefited the two minutes per rounds.

The animosity was on full display by the way they battled inside that squared circle with neither combatant refusing to bow down to the other. It was nonstop action coming from both sides where both combatants had their moments and definitely kept the fans in attendance entertained but was hard to call as the rounds progressed.

After 10 full rounds of electrifying action, the Judges at hand scored it 97-93, 97-93, and 96-94 for Chantelle Cameron.

It was a very compelling bout where I could see either combatant could have walked away the winner but on this night, it just so happened to be Chantelle Cameron the new Unified WBA/WBC/WBO Super Welterweight Champion of the World.

A rematch if definitely warranted but until then, congratulations Chantelle on another great victory and accomplishment.

On The Watch “It’s All About Rolando Romero vs Teofimo Lopez”

WBA Welterweight Challenge

Last night’s PBC/DAZN/Prime Video Main Event between WBA Welterweight Champion Rolando “Rolly” Romero (17-3, 13 Kos) and Teofimo Lopez (23-2, 13 Kos), was and intriguing matchup that went down at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Fresh off losing his WBO Junior Welterweight Title to Shakur Stevenson and now entering his first bout in the Welterweight Division, Teofimo Lopez did not disappoint. Lopez came in this bout laser focussed with a well-constructed “game plan” that had him looking like the Teo from the pass.

Lopez was sharp, aggressive and active with a steady jab that controlled the action round by round. As for Romero’s approach it was quite underwhelming to say the least. Romero looked disengaged at times and lacked the activity to deter Lopez from pressing the action. Although Romero did have some moments and did manage to cut Lopez over the right eye, Romero neglected to listen to his corner and capitalized as instructed.

  As the rounds progressed, Lopez continued to outwork the champ from all angles by steadily remaining active and on the front foot applying nonstop well calculated pressure, clearly preventing Romero from ever getting any type of offensive action going his way. Romero’s low punch output was very concerning considering what was at stake on the night.

After 12 rounds of one-sided action, the Judges at hand scored it 116-112, 115-113 and 114-114 edging the victory to Teofimo Lopez.

That Judge scoring the bout a draw was straight suspect but the right combatant definitely won this bout.

Congratulations Teofimo on becoming the new WBA Welterweight Champion of the World and a Three-Division World Champion in the process.

Well done, Champ!
