01/14/201601/13/2016 Carlos Ortiz

WBC heavyweight champion Deontay “Bronze Bomber” Wilder (35-0, 34 KOs) is promising to knockout Polish challenger Artur Szpilka (20-1, 15 KOs) this Saturday night in their contest on Showtime from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Deontay does not care that Szpilka has improved since his knockout loss to Bryant Jennings in 2014. Deontay doesn’t believe that Szpilka can improve enough to beat him on Saturday. Szpilka looked really bad in his fights against Jennings and Mike Mollo. However, Szpilka will be entering the ring on Saturday night with a 4-fight winning streak, albeit with wins over much lesser fighters than Wilder.

Marquez vs. Cotto possible in 2016

01/12/201601/11/2016 Carlos Ortiz

By Carlos Ortiz: In a fight that would surely catch the imagination of the boxing world, there is a possibility that 42-year-old Mexican star Juan Manuel Marquez (57-7-2, 42 KOs) could return to the ring for a huge fight against 35-year-old middleweight Miguel Cotto (40-5, 33 KOs) in 2016.

Cotto’s trainer Freddie Roach likes the idea of Cotto fighting Marquez. It’s a fight that makes sense on many levels. Cotto was just beaten by a much larger Saul “Canelo” Alvarez last November, and there are no real big money fights for Cotto right now. What Cotto is looking at is a lot of difficult fights against younger lions that wouldn’t give him the kind of money that he received in his fight against Canelo.

David Haye: My motivation is to become heavyweight champion of the world

01/12/201601/11/2016 Carlos Ortiz

By Carlos Ortiz: David Haye (26-2, 24 KOs) will be clearing over three years of ring rust out of his systems this Saturday night in fighting Mark De Mori (30-1-2, 26 KOs) at the O2 Arena in London, UK. This is small step for the 35-year-old Haye, whose goal is to reclaim the heavyweight championship of the world.

Haye wants to win all the belts in the division, and he’s ready to face champions Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder and face the winner of the Vyachaslav Glaszkov – Charles Martin fight. Along the way, Haye wants to take the popular British heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua’s scalp and add it to his collection of big names he’s beaten during his career.

Abel Sanchez: If Ward is afraid to fight Sullivan Barrera, who can he fight to make statement at 175?

01/12/201601/11/2016 Carlos Ortiz

By Carlos Ortiz: Unbeaten light heavyweight Sullivan Barrera is hoping to get a fight against former WBA 168lb champion in March. However, Ward, 31, is starting to make noises on Twitter saying that Barrera won’t be getting rich off him by getting a fight against him. Ward says there is no contract with Barrera, and he does not have any idea who his next opponent will be for March 26 on HBO.

The way Ward is talking, it’s giving many boxing fans the belief that he does not fancy the idea of fighting Barrera and would prefer another fight. Barrera’s trainer Abel Sanchez doesn’t know who Ward can fight in the light heavyweight division that will make a statement, and he feels that Ward lacks the courage to take on Barrera.

Gilberto Ramirez vs. Arthur Abraham possible for Pacquiao-Bradley 3 undercard

01/12/201601/11/2016 Carlos Ortiz

By Carlos Ortiz: While the main event of the Manny Pacquiao vs. Tim Bradley 3 rematch may not be a big deal for April 9th, the potential co-feature bout between WBO super middleweight champion Arthur Abraham and Gilberto Ramirez (33-0, 24 KOs) could be a good one if Top Rank promoter Bob Arum can get the fight made. The Pacquiao-Bradley 3 fight card will be televised on HBO pay-per-view from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. The two fighters fought each other twice before with Bradley winning the first fight in 2012, and Pacquiao winning the second fight in 2014.

Arum promotes the 24-year-old Ramirez and he believes he’s not only capable of beating the 35-year-old Abraham, but also becoming a star along the same lines as Saul “Canelo” Alvarez. Ramirez has the size, power and the movie star looks to be another Canelo, but it still remains to be seen whether he can accomplish the same things as the red-haired Mexican star.
