This Saturday night, Live on Premier Boxing Champions, Keith “One Time” Thurman (26-0, 22 KO’s) puts his WBA Welterweight title on the line in the much anticipated showdown against “Showtime” Shawn Porter (26-1-1, 16 KO’s). The fight will air at 9PM ET and will take place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn New York. The co-featured fight was supposed to be a featherweight bout between Jesus Cuellar (28-1, 21 KO’s) VS Abner Mares (29-2-1, 15 KO’s), in what could have been a fight of the year candidate, but sadly it was cancelled. Here is the breakdown and predictions:

-Weight Class: Welterweight

-Height: 5′ 8″

Wilder VS Duhaupus: Breakdown & Prediction

Posted: September 26, 2015 in Predictions
Tags: #Boxeo, #boxing, #boxingblog, #BoxingNews, #BoxingPredictions, #CBS, #DavidJukic, #DeontayWilder, #Heavyweight, #insideringside, #JohannDuhaupus, #KO, #PBC, #PremierBoxingChampions, #TKO, #TysonFury, #wbc, #WladimirKlitschko, WilderDuhaupus, WilderVsDuhaupus

Tonight, Premier Boxing Champions brings to you Deontay Wilder (34-0, 33 KO’s) VS Johann Duhaupus (32-2, 20 KO’s). This is a voluntary title defense, as Wilder puts up his WBC World Heavyweight title. Wilder took this defense to stay sharp and busy, as he waits for the winner of Klitschko VS Fury. He will continue to wait as Wladimir Klitschko suffered a calf injury in training camp that will postpone his fight against Tyson Fury. The co-feature will be another Heavyweight matchup with Fred Kassi (18-3-1, 10 KO’s) taking on Dominic Breazeale (15-0, 13 KO’s Here is the breakdown and prediction for Wilder VS Duhaupus:

DEONTAY WILDER

-Record: 34 – 0 – 0, 33 KO’s

-Weight Class: Heavyweight

-Height: 6′ 7″ (1.80 m)

-Reach: 84″

-Born: 8/22/85 (age 29)

-Notable Fights:

Nicolai Firtha — Win, KO 4th round (10), 10/26/13.
Malik Scott — Win, KO 1st round (12), 3/15/14.
Bermane Stiverne — Win, Unanimous Decision (12), 1/17/15. (Won WBC Heavyweight title)

Wilder defeated Stiverne for the WBC World Heavyweight title, and went on to defend it successfully against Eric Molina. Now Wilder takes a voluntary title defense, and will be fighting against Duhaupus. It remains to be seen how long exactly it will take for Wilder to get the fight against Wladimir Klitschko, until then, it will be another easy win for Wilder.

JOHANN DUHAUPUS

-Record: 32 – 2 – 0, 20 KO’s

-Weight Class: Heavyweight

-Height: 6′ 5″ (1.80 m)

-Reach: n/a

-Born: 2/5/81 (age 34)

-Notable Fights:

Manuel Charr — Win, Majority Decision (10), 10/4/15.

Duhaupus faces his greatest challenge as of yet in his career. He has not really fought anyone worth mentioning, and gets a huge opportunity here against Wilder. Duhaupus brings to the table a ver respectable win loss record of 32-2, but he will have to climb a mountain to win this one.

Predictions:

Dominic Breazeale — def — Fred Kassi — via — TKO 6th round

Deontay Wilder — def — Johann Duhaupus — via — KO 5th round

GREATEST HITS: Floyd Mayweather

The training camps should begin shortly. The ticket information should be released soon. Purse splits and all other details will be coming any time now, and most of all the excitement of Floyd Mayweathers return will start building up. Spetember 12th is only a month and a half away, and the MGM Grand will be hosting Mayweathers’ final fight. Or so we think. Mayweather has defeated the best throughout his illustrious career. Names like Zab Judah, Oscar De La Hoya, Juan Manuel Marquez, Miguel Cotto, Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, and the list goes on.

Now that the Floyd Mayweather VS Andre Berto fight has been made official, lets take a look at the ultimate highlight reel of Mayweathers’ best fights:

Floyd Mayweather VS Andre Berto Official For Septermber 12th

Posted: August 5, 2015 in Breaking News
Tags: #andreberto, #badoujack, #Boxeo, #boxing, #boxingblog, #BoxingNews, #CBS, #FloydMayweather, #GeorgeGroves, #KO, #MannyPacquiao, #MayweatherBerto, #MayweatherPromotions, #MayweatherVsBerto, #MGMgrand, #OrlandoSalido, #RomanMartinez, #shobox, #showtime, #showtimechampionshipboxing, #ShowtimePPV, #TBE, #TheMoneyTeam, #TheRing, #TheRingMagazine, #TKO, #TMT, #WBA, #WBAsuper, #wbc

Well, it is finally official. After yet another Floyd Mayweather saga of choosing an opponent, he has finally chosen Andre Berto. The contracts are signed and it is set for 8 PM ET on September 12th 2015, live at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas Nevada. The fight will be televised in showtime PPV with a price tag of $64.95 (standard), and $74.95 (HD). It will be an action packed night. Maywether (48-0, 26 KO’s) will be defending his WBAsuper & his WBC Welterweight titles against the hard hitting Berto (30-3, 22 KO’s). Also, Badou Jack (19-1-1, 12 KO’s) will be defending his WBC Super Middleweight title against George Groves (21-2, 15 KO’s) in the Co-Feature. Also on the undercard, Roman Martinez (29-2-2, 17 KO’s) will be defending his WBO Super Featherweight title, against former champion Orlando Salido (42-13-2, 29 KO’s).

Mayweather is of course coming off of a unanimous decision victory over manny Pacquiao back on May 2nd. Andre Berto is also coming off of a win against Josestio Lopez (3/13/15), where he seemed to be losing the fight, and then dramatically knocked Lopez out in the 6th round of their fight. If Mayweather wins, he would tie the legendary Rocky Marcianos’ record of 49-0. The fight against Berto would compete the record breaking contract Mayweather signed with Showtime (6 fights/$300 million). There has however been speculation that Floyd will return for 1 more fight after, to get to 50 wins and become “TBE”.

The trash talking didn’t take long to start either. Mayweather went on to say, “I’m ready to get back in the ring on September 12 and prove again to the whole world why I’m The Best Ever, I always bring my A-game and this fight against Andre Berto is no exception. He’s a young, strong fighter who is hungry to take down the best. Forty-eight have tried before and on September 12, I’m going to make it 49.”

Berto would respond by saying, “I’m coming to kick Floyd’s ass on September 12, best believe that I plan to bring it to Floyd and I’m not concerned about what 48 other fighters have been unable to do. Somebody is getting knocked out and it won’t be me. You don’t want to miss this.”

It will be an exciting night, with 3 different World Championship fights being brought to you by Showtime PPV.
