Last Friday the 26th of November, in Bolton the IBO cruiserweight title went to Jack Massey who demolished Bilal Laggoune in only 3 rounds. Belgium\u2019s Laggoune was just completely outboxed in a fight that puts Massey in the frame at least for bigger contests. His major problem is that he is not ranked anywhere with the big boys \u2013 WBC, WBA, IBF, WBO. With Britain\u2019s Lawrence Okolie already a world champion who won\u2019t fight him and too much of a risk for either Richard Riakporhe or Chris Billiam-Smith, both of whom are ranked, it may need him to look to the top 10 of the world governing bodies and hope someone takes a risk and fancies his belt. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Under the radar<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On the same evening, Friday the 26th of November, light flyweight former WBC world titlist Jay Harris was stopped by Hector Gabriel Flores in Cardiff in a modest upset. Given what happened during the rest of the weekend this hardly mustered a moment never mind a maelstrom of mutterings, but it was a shock, nonetheless. Flores spectacularly knocked him out in the 6th round leaving Welshman Harris with a hell of a lot of thinking to do.<\/p>\n<p><strong>International \u2013 most intriguing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Then came the Saturday of all Saturdays \u2013 the 27th of November \u2013 and it began with number one of two massive multi belt fights on the Saturday as super bantamweight Brendan Figueroa lost out to Stephen Fulton for the WBC and WBO titles in Las Vegas. It was a majority decision that saw Fulton triumph in a storm of a fight. Figueroa was absolutely relentless, but the cute work of Fulton got the better of Figueroa and the unbeaten record of Fulton was the one to remain intact by the end of 12 thrilling rounds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>International headline in the UK<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And then, on Saturday the 27th of November, to the second of the multi-belt fights as the WBA, WBO and IBF lightweight titles were lost by Teofimo Lopez and taken down under by George Kambosis Jr. This was a tsunami of a result. Nobody was predicting this and when both fighters were floored, there must have been plenty wondering what the hell was going on. This was supposed to be a Lopez master show, and his father was predicting a first round knockout. He was already planning the undoing of bigger and far better fighters. And then, Lopez lost. He did not lose by much but the noise emanating from Lopez Sr\u2019s mouth after the fight was both unseemly, ungentlemanly, unsporting and verging on the pathos of a series of Deontay Wilder excuses. In the meantime, Australia has a new super star, and they deserve it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mentioned in dispatches\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There were quite a few other fights of note held over the weekend including, from Mexico, Erika Cruz v Melissa Esquivel for Cruz&#8217;s WBA women&#8217;s featherweight title, which went in a close split decision to the retaining champion, Cruz. On the Lopez\/Kambosis undercard we had Azinga Fuzile v Kenichi Ogawa, for the vacant IBF junior lightweight title, which Ogawa won on points, and Chinese heavyweight Zhilei Zhang returned to winning ways with a 2nd round stoppage of Bernardo Marquez. In Moscow, Pavel Silmagin beat Isaac Chilemba for the WBC light middleweight silver belt on points and in the UK the WBO Global (what exactly is that?) super middleweight crown on the line between Mark Jeffers and Michel Garcia went to Jeffers. Finally, the Commonwealth lightweight championship title fight between Gavin Gwynne and Jack O\u2019 Keefe ended with a points win for Gwynne.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fast Forward \u2013 the week to come as viewed from one side of the Atlantic<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>UK \u2013 biggest and most notable<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Saturday the 4th of December, at the Copper Box, London, we have a real grudge match which has elements of the Kambosis\/Lopez fight. Like the Kambosis\/Lopez fight, the favourite was expected to beat the underdog. Like the Kambosis\/Lopez fight, I believe there was no rematch clause. But unlike, the Kambosis\/Lopez fight, there is now a rematch, and we shall see the light heavyweights Lyndon Arthur and Anthony Yarde, back to sort out their differences. Also, like the Kambosis\/Lopez fight the loser was a really sore loser and claimed that they had won \u2013 Anthony Yarde \u2013 though he has softened a lot since. Lyndon Arthur is so confident he can do it again we get the chance to watch it all over. This time round, it truly is a 50\/50 fight.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Under the radar<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The night before, on Friday the 3rd of December, former world champion, Charlie Edwards is back against Jacob Barreto in York Hall. His brother, Sunny is off to Dubai, next weekend whilst Charlie really needs this win. Barreto shall be a tough task and given the number of shocks we have suffered in the ring recently this shall hardly be taken as read that Edwards shall manage that win. It\u2019s a decent fight and one worth keeping an eye on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>International \u2013 most intriguing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Saturday the 4th of December, in Las Vegas, we have the WBC lightweight title fight between Devin Haney and Joseph Diaz. There had been talk of what was coming next with Haney v Lopez mooted but with the latter dropping off the radar as he could not beat Kambosis, Haney will have had his warning \u2013 I think he shall have heeded that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>International headline in the UK<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Whilst the Haney\/Diaz fight is worthy of most headlines, on the undercard, in Las Vegas, on Saturday the 4th of December, we have the WBC, WBA, WBO, IBF AND IBO female welterweight battle between Jessica McCaskill and Victoria Noelia Bustos. McCaskill goes in as the favourite and definitely ought to be as she has rebuilt since her loss to Katie Taylor \u2013 though her opposition has bene a little limited \u2013 in amongst her contests, Erica Anabella Farias twice, and Cecilia Breakhaus twice in amongst five fights! This looks like yet another brilliant women\u2019s contest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mentioned in dispatches\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There is a plethora of pugilism with the WBO European super welterweight fight between Hamzah Sheeraz and Bradley Skeete as well as the IBF international silver lightweight title fight between Sam Noakes and Shaun Cooper. In mainland Europe, we have the UK\u2019s Brian Rose at middleweight in for the IBF European title against Denis Radovan in Germany, whilst Kerman Lejarraga against another British name in Jack Flatley for the EBU title \u2013 will it be 6th time lucky for a British fighter \u2013 the previous 5 could not beat him! In the US, heavyweight Filip Hrgovic takes on Scott Alexander for the IBF international belt and Gervonta Davis takes on Isaac Cruz in the WBA lightweight fight.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Future History \u2013 and the week to follow\u2026<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>UK \u2013 biggest and most notable<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Saturday 11th December<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Liverpool, DAZN, and Katie Taylor defends her belts against Firuza Sharipova.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Under the radar<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Friday 10th December<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In Crystal Palace, London, Isaac Chamberlain is back and fighting for the IBF international title at cruiserweight against Dilan Prasovic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>International \u2013 most intriguing<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Saturday 11th December<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We have Sunny Edwards at flyweight in Dubai, UAE, taking on Jayson Mama in defence of his IBF title. MTK Global are based in Dubai and a number of British fighters have made the trip successfully \u2013 Edwards hopes to add to that number.<\/p>\n<p><strong>International headline in the UK<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Saturday 11th December<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Given how many light heavyweights we have who think they are within world title reach, it is in Ekaterinberg, Russia that attention shall be shifted as Dmitry Bivol defends his WBA super title against Umar Sulanov.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mentioned in dispatches\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Saturday 11th December<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the UK, In Liverpool and on DAZN, Chris Algieri comes across the pond to take on Conor Benn at welterweight \u2013 this is a very careful step up for Benn and we are already salivating at him being back in the ring.
