Klitschko retains world titles as Parker and Browne march on

4/27/2014

0 Comments

 
It's not often that the Heavyweight division has a bit of everything but that's what we got this past Saturday as we got prospects, world class boxing and a very fun to watch fight.

The headline bout, by far, was in Germany as the dominant Wladimir Klitschko (62-3, 52) defended his WBA "super", WBO, IBF and IBO world titles with an excellent performance against WBO mandatory challenger Alex Leapai (30-5-3, 24). Although many complain about Klitschko holding he really didn't hold against Leapai and instead he resorted to jabbing and landing straights with ease. The activity was amazing for a 38 year old and when Leapai was eventually stopped in round 5 there was little doubt that these two were a million miles apart in terms of skill.

On the same card fans also got the chance to see the very highly touted Joseph Parker (8-0, 7) stopping Marcelo Luiz Nascimento (17-6, 15). Parker, from New Zealand, was taken beyond round 6 for the first time in his career though will have learned a lot and developed considerably from this fight, especially considering that he's still a professional novice. We're hoping to see Parker given some high level sparring between now and his next fight though as there is still a lot that needs sorting out with the way he fights.

Another bout in Germany saw the debuting Freskim Povataj (1-0, 1) stop fellow debutant Ali Fatah (0-1) in the second round.

Whilst the Klitschko bout was the biggest of the night it wasn't the best, in fact it wasn't even the best title fight of the night. That honour belongs to the European title fight that saw Australia's Lucas Browne (20-0, 18) stopping Canadian Eric Martel Bahoeli (10-4, 7)
in 5 rounds of a bout that had action, blood and real excitement. Browne, one of our favourite fighters in the division, looked horribly out of shape at 273lbs but had more than enough for the Canadian who was dropped several times by "Big Daddy".

Staying in Europe, though moving over to Poland, fans got a quadro of action.

The main event of Polish action saw Marcin Rekowski (14-1, 11) over-come American veteran Oliver McCall (57-14-0-2, 37) and over-come his sole defeat in the process.
Despite avenging his loss Rekowski came in at a career high weight whilst McCall was at his lowest weight for almost 7 years!

A complete mismatch on the Polish show saw former world title challenger
Albert Sosnowski (48-6-2, 29) stop the horribly over-matched Wlodzimierz Letr (1-3, 1). Another of the bouts saw Michal Cieslak (5-0, 2) score a very credible stoppage victory over Art Binkowski (16-5-3, 11) who had only been stopped once in his previous 23 bouts.

The remaining Polish bout saw Roman Bugaj (17-8-1, 9) defeat the very limited Patryk Kowoll (2-12, 1) via a 4 round decision.

In Sweden novice professional Joel Larsson (3-0, 1) out pointed the win-less Jakub Kozera (0-2) over 4 rounds.

The only Heavyweight bout in the US appears to have been a contest that saw Jean Pierre Augustin (3-0, 1) score the first stoppage of his career as he saw off the debuting Joseph Bowman (0-1) inside a round.

Parker wins as Long shocks everyone

10/10/2013

Heavyweight action continued this new week as we had a double in New Zealand, perhaps not a country associated with top Heavyweights though a country that does seem to be developing one.

The one fighter than New Zealand boxing fans should be really excited about is youngster Joseph Parker (7-0, 6) who returned to the ring earlier today, the first time since stopping Frans Botha, and defeated Afa Tatupu (9-5, 7). Tatupu, the New Zealand Heavyweight champion was stopped in just 2 rounds by the fast rising Parker.

Although Parker did miss out on the 2012 Olympic games he is widely viewed as one of the most promising Heavyweight prospects in the world and at just 21 years old there is so much untapped potential that he's one every boxing fan should be keeping an eye on.

The Parker/Tatupu fight was one of two fights that took place on the card in New Zealand with the other being a huge shock as American giant Julius Long (16-17-0-1, 14) scored his first victory since the summer of 2007. Long, who had brought a 9 fight losing streak to the ring, sensationally upset Jason Williams (6-2, 3), who himself was on a run of 6 victories.

For Long this is probably a surprise just as much for him as it is for us. The 7'1" fighter, who we all thought had retired, may well have secured a second payday down under with a fighter against Parker certainly a possibility.

Parker pummels the white buffalo

In a huge step up New Zealand Heavyweight prospect Joseph Parker (6-0, 5) showed his class as he stopped South African veteran Frans Both (48-10-3-1, 29) in the main event of a very unusual card (that featured Botha's son Marcel and a "dwarf" title bout).

The fight started well for Parker who showed his impressive hand speed in the opening especially with his jab and straight right hand. Botha managed ot see out the opening round with out too many problems but it was obvious that Botha was going to really struggle with Parker's hand speed.

Surprisingly Botha actually landed the first telling punch of the second right, a glancing over hand right though it was taken very by Parker quickly came back himself with a flurry that caused the crowd to erupt. A follow up allowed Parker to show off his very impressive hand speed.

Soon after the second flurry Parker caught Both with a big over-hand right that wobbled Botha and a follow up attack dropped the south African fighter who was immediately stopped sitting on the ropes and looking like and old beaten man.

Sure Botha was an old man but there was no arguing with this performance by Parker who looked every bit the rising star of New Zealand boxing.
