On The Watch “It’s All About Errol Spence Jr. vs Lamont Peterson”

SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING

IBF Welterweight Championship

Undefeated and newly appointed IBF Welterweight Title holder, Errol “The Truth” Spence Jr. (22-0, 19 Kos) will be making his first Title defense vs former Two-Division Champion Lamont Peterson (35-3-1, 17 Kos) on Saturday January 20, 2018 live on SHOWTIME at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn New York.

Peeps in the boxing community are already predicting the year 2018 will be Errol Spence’s coming out party to the rest of the 147-pound Division. As it stands right now Errol is one of the most avoided fighters in the Division period. This young blood is ready, loaded and hungry to unify the Welterweight Division but the other champions aren’t too keen to step up to the plate and answer that call.

The only gamer to do so, so far, is Lamont Peterson, a well-respected fighter with the heart and skills to go toe-to toe with just about anybody in the Division. Lamont has won titles at 140 and 147 pounds. He just recently renounced his own WBA 147-pound Belt to have a chance to challenge Errol. This Kat is no slouch in that squared circle. Lamont is a proven veteran who’s been on that big stage before and handled himself pretty well so I’m personally expecting a competitive bout come January 20, 2018.

With that being said Errol Spence Jr. is “The Truth” REAL TALK! The Kat is nice with his hands and his body shots are legit. The Boy knows how to take kats out in that squared circle-hands down. Iron sharpens Iron and you can clearly see that his growth and development as a boxer have improved dramatically from bout to bout.

Spence is heavily touted as being that Dude to take over the Division but before all is said and done he needs to handle his business at hand in Lamont Peterson. Let’s see who bodys who, come Saturday night January 20, 2018 at the Barclays.

Who you got?

On The Watch “It’s All About Artur Beterbiev vs Enrico Koelling”

IBF Light Heavyweight World Title

There is a new player in the Light Heavyweight Division ready to shake things up. With Andre “SOG” Ward now retired the IBF Light Heavyweight World Title was up for grabs last night at the Save Mart Arena in Fresno, California.

Undefeated #2 IBF two-time Russian Olympian Artur Beterbiev (12-0, 12 Kos) and Enrico Koelling (23-2, 6 Kos) were the two fighters enlisted to take part for the IBF Light Heavyweight World Title.

Beterbiev has won on every level he has competed at to date and this opportunity wasn’t about to be any different. His dream of becoming a World Champion was his for the taking by any means necessary.

That being said, in a not so exciting bout Beterbiev quietly dismantled Koelling by dropping him two times in the 12th round when the referee decided enough was enough and halted the bout. The fans in attendance weren’t too impressed with Artur’s performance on that night but having seen first hand how Beterbiev usually handles his opponents, I wouldn’t stress this one too tough cuz your Boy Artur can crack with extreme power and box very well. I personally would worry about the next Dude to duke it out with him because the Light Heavyweight Division is in trouble once this Dude gets it going. REAL TALK!

Congratulations “King Artur” on becoming the New IBF Light Heavyweight World Champion.

On The Watch “It’s All About Daniel Jacobs vs Luis Arias”

World Championship Boxing

School was in session last night at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York. In his first fight back since losing a controversial 12 round decision to Middleweight Kingpin Champion Gennady Golovkin last March, Daniel “Miracle Man” Jacobs (33-2, 29 Kos) returned to the squared circle and convincingly won a unanimous decision over previously undefeated Luis Arias (18-1, 9 Kos).

There are levels to this Boxing Game and last night was mainly about that. Luis Arias is a tight boxer with exceptional skills but fell short in getting outclassed in that squared circle by a more seasoned and proven boxer. Your Boy Jacobs is the truth REAL TALK! His Boxing Game is legit and this bout was just what Jacobs needed to get back to his winning ways come 2018.

Peeps can talk that sh*t about Jacobs all they want but this Boy is still a major player in the Middleweight Division hands down. He’s hungry and determined to regain a title belt once again by any means necessary.

As of right now Jacobs is targeting the winner of the Sauders vs Lemieux bout on December 16, 2017 for the WBO Middleweight Championship in Montreal. It will be interesting to see if either of them accepts his challenge when it’s all said and done.

Until then, congratulations on your win Daniel.
