I cannot wait for this weekends boxing action.It's funny how there always seems to be several big fights on just the one night but weeks where there's nothing of interest.
There's a decent fight on Friday night for the European Super Bantamweight title between the Spaniard Kiko Martinez and Britain's Rendall Munroe.I hope Rendall can cause the upset.
There's a cracking event in Mexico this Saturday.Former Heavyweight champion John Ruiz takes on perennial challenger Jameel McCline.This is really a last chance for both guys to get a title shot.Jose Luis Castillo takes on the undefeated American Timothy Bradley, winner could go on to face Junior Witter.Then you've got Oleg Maskaev vs Samuel Peter, this is the first world heavyweight title fight to be staged in Mexico.Maskaev might have had a year out and is approaching 40 but he's still a capable guy but I feel that Peter will probably have too much for him.Finally there's the excellent lighweight champion Juan Diaz defending his title against top American Nate Campbell.
Then we have the huge one, the biggest fight between two Brits in years.Enzo Maccarinelli vs David Haye for 3 world cruiserweight titles.Two of the hardest hitters in the world, this one guarantees fireworks.On the undercard there's a couple of good fights.Paul Smith of the contender takes on Cello Renda which should be a decent test.Finally there's the fight for the British Super Featherweight title between Carl Johanneson and Kevin Mitchell.Johanneson's the current title holder but seems to fall apart when he steps up in class and Mitchell's as yet untested at this level.
