On The Watch “It’s All about Mary Spencer vs Mikaela Mayer”

WBA Super Welterweight Showdown

Last night’s Top Rank Main Event between our own Canadian WBA Super Welterweight Champion Mary Spencer (10-3, 6 Kos) and challenger WBO Welterweight Champion Mikaela Mayer (22-2, 5 Kos) who moved up in weight for this bout, turned out to be a hell of a one-sided performance that silenced the Montreal Casino crowd in attendance. Real Talk!

Mikaela, who was clearly the smaller combatant, brought in that heat with that nonstop aggression that had Mary bewildered and bothered all night. Mikaela held no punches on the night. She let her hands go from head to body making sure her presence inside that squared circle was felt in every round.

As the away fighter, Mikaela was determined not to let this opportunity get taken away from her. Mikaela bullied the bigger Champion in her own house and showed Mary the many levels above that she has on her inside that squared circle. It was a dominant and impressive one-sided beatdown by Mikaela that could not be denied.

After 10 rounds of one-sided action, the Judges at hand scored it 100-90, 98-92 and 98-92 unanimously for Mikaela Mayer.

With this convincing win, Mikaela snatched away the WBA Super Welterweight Championship Title from Mary and picked up the vacant WBA Super and the WBC Super Welterweight Titles now crowning her the New Unified Super Welterweight Champion of the Division and still WBO Welterweight Champion.

Well done, Mikaela, you are now in the position of power with options in two different Divisions. This is your time, and you’ve earned it the hard way.

On The Watch “It’s All About Joseph Parker vs Fabio Wardley”

Heavyweight Showdown

Last night’s Queensberry Promotions/DAZN Main Event between WBO Interim Heavyweight Champion Joseph Parker (36-4, 24 Kos) and undefeated WBA Interim Heavyweight Champion Fabio Wardley (20-0, 19 Kos), surpassed all my expectations when these two Heavyweights collided at the O2 Arena in London.

Both combatants went into this bout with the utmost confidence and displayed it right from the jump as both warriors wasted no time at establishing their respective “game plan”. Parker was visibly the bigger man but Wardley who was not intimated at all stood his ground round by round.

We had a serious shootout on the night with heavy shots coming from both sides. Both combatants had their moments throughout the night but what surprised me the most was how both warriors withstood each other’s heavy shots. Every round had a dramatic impact right before the bell.

Parker’s experience showed dividends as the rounds progressed. Parker was very efficient and calculative with his punch selection and power shots as the bigger man but Wardley’s chin, durability and will to win alongside his own power, could not go unnoticed.  

Wardley is as tough as they come and tonight, he laid it all on the line inside that squared circle. The clock was ticking and desperation was creeping into the back of Wardley’s mind. Entering the 11th round, Wardley brought forth a devastating attack that clipped Parker and sent him in retreat mode to the ropes absorbing and at times avoiding an abundance of unanswered heavy shots coming his way, prompting the referee to jump in and halt the fight before any further damage could be done.

Some will argue that the stoppage may have been premature considering Parker was up on the card but the unanswered onslaught dished out at the time was quite convincing.

With this imposing win under his belt, Wardley has now positioned himself as the No. 1 opponent to challenge the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion Oleksandr Usyk. In doing so, he’s definitely put the heavyweight Division on notice.

Well done!

Junior Middleweight Showdown

Last night’s Matchroom/DAZN Main Event between former Unified Welterweight .Champion Jaron “Boots” Ennis (35-0, 31 Kos) and Uisma Lima (14-2, 10 Kos), was a statement event where “Boots” announced himself in an aggressive fashion to the 154-Pound Division at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. Real Talk!

Jaron was looking to impress his hometown crowd and that he did at just about 1:58 of the first round by dropping Uisma three times and knocking him out with a barrage of unanswered punches coming in from all angles, quickly prompting the referee to stop the bout and saving Uisma from further damage.

Uisma was caught cold from the jump and didn’t have enough time to recover as Jaron went in for the kill and shut down the show before sending everyone on attendance home happy with the outcome. No need for the Judges on this night.

With this impressive win now under his belt, Jaron picked up the Interim Junior Middleweight Belt positioning himself in line to challenge the full Champion Abass Baraou (17-1, 9 Kos).

That being said, Jaron has made it be known that he’s looking to take over the 154-Pound Division and is looking at all the champions or top contenders – anyone of them can get it.

Statement made and heard!

On The Watch ”It’s All About Alexis Barriere vs Guido Vianello”

Heavyweight Showdown

In last night’s Matchroom/DAZN Co-Feature Main Event at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, our own Canadian prospect Alexis Barriere (12-1, 10 Kos) was dealt a minor setback at the hands of Guido “The Gladiator” Vianello (14-3, 12 Kos).

No one anticipated ever seeing this outcome but truth be told, Guido was never going to be an easy out for anybody in the Heavyweight Division on any given night. Coming off a tough 10 round loss to Heavyweight prospect Richard Torrez Jr., Guido desperately needed a win to keep himself going in the Heavyweight conversations.

Giving what was at stake, Guido proceeded to dish out his best work by dismantling Alexis from head to body inside that squared circle. Alexis looked outgunned and unprepared for the pressure and the heavy shots that were coming his way.

Usually, Alexis is the hunter inside the squared circle but on this night, he was the hunted being outboxed and outhustled from every angle. Guido’s speed and power played a major factor as he was able to drop Alexis in the fourth round and stop Alexis in the fifth round after the referee waved it over preventing any further onslaught. This was a tough loss for Alexis and a teaching lesson that he will bounce back from but this was definitely a great win for Guido.

On The Watch ”It’s All About Dave Allen vs Arslanbek Makhmudov”

Heavyweight Showdown

Last night’s Matchroom/DAZN Main Event between Dave “White Rhino” Allen (24-8-2, 19 Kos) and our own Canadian/Russian representative Arslanbek Makhmudov (21-2, 19 Kos), was an entertaining bout that had the 9,000 fans in attendance on the edge of their seats at the Sheffield Arena in Sheffield, England.

Dave, fresh off stopping the young and upcoming Heavyweight Johnny Fisher in his last bout, was feeling like the stars were aligning themselves in his favour and proceeded to tackle another hefty challenge in the form Arslanbek Makhmudov and chopping down the big “Lion” that most would opt to avoid on their road to redemption.

The “White Rhino” went into this bout with the utmost confidence but was met with a force that refused to succumb and in return Arslanbek gave Dave a good beating throughout the duration of the bout.

Dave showed us once again that his chin is a hell of a tough one to take down but that steady heavy jab that Arslanbek was dishing out round by round was quite affective and consistent at preventing Dave from getting to him.  At times things got ugly inside that squared circle as Arslanbek did a lot of holding and eventually lost a few points because of it.

Dave had a few sporadic moments throughout the bout but was not active enough with his hands when the opportunity presented itself. Although Arslanbek looked tired in the later rounds his work rate over all could not go unnoticed.

After 12 full rounds of action, the Judges at hand scored it 117-109, 116-110 and 115-111 unanimously for Arslanbek Makhmudov.

There are levels to this boxing sh*t and last night our own Canadian/Russian representative Arslanbek Makhmudov showed just that by beating a tough and durable warrior in Dave Allen.

On The Watch “It’s All About Chris Eubank Jr. vs Conor Benn 2”

Middleweight Showdown

The highly anticipated domestic grudge rematch between IBO Middleweight Champion Chris Eubanks Jr. (35-3, 25 Kos) and Conor Benn (23-1, 14 Kos) has finally officially been announced that they will be bumping gloves once again on Saturday November 15, 2025, at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, live on DAZN PPV.

It’s clear that Conor has unfinished business with Chris and is desperately looking for that get back by any means necessary. Conor put up a hell of a fight the first time out, but truth be told Conor is not a Middleweight at heart but will be going back to the weight to prove a solid point to Chris that he can beat him at his own game.

That being said, Conor can’t overlook Chris the same way he did the first time. Chris is no walk in the park and can definitely fight blow for blow when push comes to shove. Chris prevailed the first time and strongly feels he can do it again.

The animosity these two have for one another is what will set the stage on fire when these two warriors enter that squared circle come fight night. Their first dust up was a banger of a bout, but I anticipate this second go around will eclipse it and bring the house down and the fans to their feet witnessing this action-packed night of a shootout on Saturday night November 15, 2025, at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England.

On The Watch ”It’s All About Christian Mbilli vs Lester Martinez”

Super Middleweight Showdown

Last night our own Canadian representative, undefeated Christian Mbilli (30-0-1, 24 Kos) put his WBC Interim Super Middleweight Title on the line when he took on heavy-handed, undefeated challenger Lester Martinez (19-0-1, 16 Kos) on the undercard of the Canelo vs Crawford at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

Them two combatants did not disappoint and definitely brought the “Heat” at the sound of the first bell when they touched gloves inside that squared circle. Both warriors knew what was at stake and proceeded to bang toe-to-toe with neither combatant giving up any breathing room while thrusting heavy leather at one another phone booth style from head to body.

I personally think that Martinez expected Mbilli to be easy work considering most of his opponents folded whenever they felt his power but he soon found out that Mbilli was not one to be taken lightly as his high-octane offense and his resiliency was a serious problem round by round.

Martinez had no choice but to match Mbilli’s energy making that bout that much all the more intriguing and competitive as the rounds progressed.  It was a tough back and forth that clearly entertained the fans in attendance.

Both combatants had their moments with neither showing signs of backing down at any point. That being said, after 10 hard rounds of action the Judges at hand scored it a draw, unable to pinpoint a clear winner on the night.

With this outcome, Christian Mbilli retained his WBC Interim Super Middleweight Title and still maintained his undefeated record while Lester Martinez proved his case at being a serious problem to content with in the 168-Pound Division.

On The Watch “It’s All About Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford”

Undisputed Super Middleweight Champion

Last night’s Riyadh Season/Netflix Main Event between Undisputed Super Middleweight IBF/WBA/WBC/WBO/Ring Magazine Champion Canelo Alvarez (63-3-2, 30 Kos) and Former two- Division Undisputed Champion and four-time Division Champion Terence “Bud” Crawford (42-0, 31 Kos), surpassed all my expectations by the way things unravelled at the Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas.

  This wasn’t a passing of the torch but rather a forceful “Takeover” at the hands of Crawford who systematically disarmed the “Kingpin” on Mexican Independence weekend, in front of

70, 000 fans, possibly the biggest stage he could have performed on in Las Vegas.

I personally anticipated a competitive bout from start to finish but what ‘Bud” brought inside that squared circle was very impressive. Real Talk! If Crawford was a Rubik’s Cube, Canelo had no clue or the proper “game plan” to solve the puzzle.

‘Bud” the smaller man who was moving up in weight, asserted himself quite well and stood his ground and fought the bully toe-to-toe while showing absolutely no fear as the rounds progressed. Crawford boxed and moved and kept his hands busy enough to stop Canelo from ever finding a good enough rhythm to mount a suitable attack.  

Crawford’s respectable power and punch output was key to carrying out their bullet proof “game plan” that had Canelo bewildered and confused round by round. Crawford had the look of a man on a mission and never folded at any time during the bout.  He stayed cool and under control at all times.

At the completion of the bout the Judges at hand scored it 116-112, 115-113, 115-113 unanimously for Terence “Bud” Crawford.

This was a career-defining historical moment where Terence Crawford became the first male combatant to be Undisputed Champion across three weight Divisions in the four-belt era. He slayed the reigning “Kingpin” and snatched away all the jewels of the IBF/WBA/WBC/WBO/Ring Magazine Championships to now become the Undisputed King of the Super Middleweight Division.

Congratulations Terence, you have definitely placed your name and accomplishments in the GOAT debate, hands down!

On The Watch “It’s All About Regis Prograis vs Joseph Diaz”

Welterweight Showdown

Last night’s Golden Boy/DAZN Co-Main Event between former Junior Welterweight Champion Regis Prograis (30-3, 24 Kos) and former Featherweight Champion Joseph “Jo Jo” Diaz (34-8-1, 15 Kos), was quite an entertaining bout that took place at a catchweight of 143 pounds at the University of Illinois, Chicago.

Both combatants desperately needed a victory. That being said the action was on and popping right from the gate as Diaz pressed the action early and rocked Prograis with a deadly left hook that had him on shaky legs for the remainder of the first round. To my surprise, Prograis fought back instinctively in survivor mode preventing Diaz from stopping him in the first round.

Diaz proceeded to press the action in the second round and once again managed to rock Prograis putting him right back on shaky legs and Prograis still managed to complete the second round.   

By the third round, Prograis still looking a little shaky on them legs, started to put his punches together by being active enough to win rounds by matching fire with fire with Diaz round by round.

Both warriors brought the “HEAT” inside that squared circle hammering heavy shots after heavy shots looking to do some damage to each other. What surprised me the most is how a non-puncher like Diaz was able to hurt Prograis multiple times throughout the bout.

I’m starting to think that Prograis amour might be broken considering how his last few opponents have been against non-punchers like Devin Haney, Jack Catterall and now “Jo Jo” Diaz and they have all been able to look stronger and more durable than him inside that squared circle.

Nevertheless, after 10 rounds of action the Judges at hand scored it 96-94, 96-94 and 98-92 (suspect) unanimously for Regis Prograis.

Prograis may have secured the win with his activity on the night but Diaz definitely put in that work to the point where Prograis, although the winner, should definitely re-evaluate his punch resistance problem at this point in his career if he plans on fully moving up to the Welterweight Division. Them Boys up there at the top, they do pack a punch and they don’t play with their food.

On The Watch “It’s All About Claressa Shields vs Lani Daniels”

Undisputed Heavyweight Showdown

Last night’s Salita Promotions/DAZN Main Event was another showcase type of an event for the self-proclaimed “GWOAT” IBF/WBA/WBC/WBF/WBO Undisputed Heavyweight Champion Claressa Shields (17-0, 3 Kos) who defended her crown against IBF Light Heavyweight Champion Lani Daniels (11-3-2, 1 Ko) at the packed house at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan.

First off there are levels to this boxing sh*t and when all them ladies were stepping up to Claressa on the build-up to the fight, they got a lot of talk but very little action as they stepped foot inside that squared circle opposite of the “GWOAT”. Real Talk!

Lani used a lot of movement in the first few rounds as Claressa pressed the action in an aggressive fashion looking for that work. It was quite evident from the jump that Lani did not possess the required skill set to offset Claressa from having her way with her.

Lani couldn’t match the output of punches coming her way round by round but one thing she did show was durability by the way she was taking them punches coming in from all angles and remained standing. It was a dominant performance by Claressa who looked focused at the job at hand. She wanted to put on a show for her home crowd by looking to stop Lani but this girl was tough and did whatever it took not to get stopped.

  That being said, Claressa was on point from all angles. Her speed, accuracy, punch output and her boxing IQ were all on full display last night. After 10 rounds of one-sided action, the Judges at hand scored it 100-90, 99-91 and 99-91 unanimously for Claressa Shields.

With this win, Claressa retained her IBF/WBA/WBC/WBF/WBO Undisputed Heavyweight Championship Titles with very little competition ahead to look forward too.

Claressa is simply too good for any of the three Undisputed Divisions she conquered. The “GWOAT” is definitely here to stay. Hands Down!

Good luck to the future competition.
