Vasyl Lomachenko vs George Kambosos Jr Undercard
Vasyl Lomachenko vs George Kambosos Jr Fight
- Division/Weight : lightweight
- Vasyl Lomachenko record : 17-3
- George Kambosos Jr record : 21-2
- Belts at stake : IBF World Light (vacant), IBO World Light
Vasyl Lomachenko faces George Kambosos Jr for the vacant IBF World Light and IBO World Light titles.
Vasyl Lomachenko turned professional in 2013 and boasts a record of 17 wins, 3 losses, with 11 by knockout. His last bout wasm against Devin Haney, a strong fighter with a record of 31-1; he lost by unanimous decision. Given Haney's impressive career and stature in a higher weight class compared to Ortiz, Lomachenko's experience against top-tier lightweights like Haney makes him well-prepared for Kambosos.
George Kambosos Jr turned pro the same year as Lomachenko and has 21 wins and 2 losses, with 10 knockouts. He won his last fight against Maxi Hughes, who holds a less formidable record than Devin Haney, whom Kambosos previously lost to twice. This shows Kambosos struggles against elite fighters similar to Lomachenko's caliber, which might predict difficulties in this fight.
Andrew Moloney vs Pedro Guevara Fight
- Division/Weight : super-flyweight
- Andrew Moloney record : 26-3
- Pedro Guevara record : 41-4
- Belts at stake : WBC Interim World Super Fly
Andrew Moloney faces Pedro Guevara in the ring with the WBC Interim World Super Fly belt on the line.
Andrew Moloney turned pro in 2014 and boasts a record of 26 wins, 3 losses, with 16 KOs. Moloney fought to a win by unanimous decision against Judy Flores recently. Moloney’s performance against Flores, who has a notable knockout rate and record, sets a resilient outlook for his clash against Guevara due to their shared orthodox stance and skills at this caliber in the super-flyweight division.
Pedro Guevara started his career in 2008 and holds a record of 41 wins, 4 losses, and one draw with 22 knockouts. He secured his last bout by unanimous decision against Lamberto Macias. Given that his previous fights demonstrate endurance against experienced opponents like Carlos Cuadras who also held the WBC Interim World Super Fly title, Guevara's encounter with Moloney is anticipated to intensely challenge each fighter's tactical skills given their comparable experiences.
Imam Khataev vs Ricards Bolotniks Fight
- Division/Weight : light-heavyweight
- Imam Khataev record : 6-0
- Ricards Bolotniks record : 20-7
- Belts at stake : N/A
Imam Khataev faces Ricards Bolotniks in a light-heavyweight clash.
Khataev turned pro in 2021 and holds a perfect record of 6 wins, all by knockout. His last win against Michal Ludwiczak, who has a less impressive record (17-13-1), suggests Khataev's powerful punching will be decisive against Bolotniks with a lower KO percentage.
Bolotniks has more experience with a 20-7-1 record and turned professional in 2013. He won his last fight against Tomas Bezvoda via unanimous decision. However, his recent loss to Oleksandr Gvozdyk, a formidable opponent with a high KO rate, indicates potential vulnerabilities that Khataev could exploit due to his own knockout strength.
Nina Hughes vs Cherneka Johnson Fight
- Division/Weight : bantamweight
- Nina Hughes record : 6-0
- Cherneka Johnson record : 15-2
- Belts at stake : WBA World Bantam
Nina Hughes faces Cherneka Johnson for the WBA World Bantam title in a bantamweight bout.
Nina Hughes, turning pro in 2021, defends her WBA World Bantam title with a perfect 6-0 record, including two knockouts. She recently secured a unanimous decision win against Katie Healy. Comparatively, Healy had fewer wins and no knockout power like Johnson, suggesting Hughes might face tougher competition given Johnson’s higher knockout rate and experience.
Cherneka Johnson brings more ring experience with a record of 15 wins, 2 losses, and 6 knockouts since her pro debut in 2016. Her last match was a decision loss to Ellie Scotney but showcased resilience. Facing Nina Hughes, who has fewer fights and less ring time, offers Johnson an opportunity to capitalize on her experience advantage despite coming off a loss.
Joseph Goodall vs Faiga Opelu Fight
- Division/Weight : heavyweight
- Joseph Goodall record : 10-2
- Faiga Opelu record : 16-4
- Belts at stake : N/A
Joseph Goodall faces Faiga Opelu in a heavyweight bout.
Goodall, a pro since 2018, boasts a 10-2-1 record with 90% KOs. His last bout was a loss to Efe Ajagba who held a strong record, indicating Goodall fights top competitors. With a recent high-quality opponent like Ajagba, he should challenge Opelu significantly given his experience against formidable adversaries.
Opelu turned professional in 2017 and holds a record of 16-4-2 with an impressive 75% KO rate. Coming off a win against Mostyn Niemann, he proved capable in heavy-hitting bouts. Opelu’s strength and winning momentum may pose a tough test for Goodall especially due to his effective aggression seen in recent matches.
Hemi Ahio vs Lucas Browne Fight
- Division/Weight : heavyweight
- Hemi Ahio record : 21-1
- Lucas Browne record : 31-5
- Belts at stake : N/A
Hemi Ahio faces Lucas Browne in a heavyweight non-title bout.
Hemi Ahio turned pro in 2013 and holds a record of 21 wins with 16 KOs, showing a high KO rate of 76.19%. His last victory came against Amron Sands by TKO, demonstrating his knockout power against opponents with decent records. Considering Browne's recent losses in tough bouts, Ahio’s aggressive knockout style could be a significant challenge for Browne, given the physical and experiential advantages he brings to the ring.
Lucas Browne has been professional since 2009 and boasts a record of 31 wins, including 27 KOs. Although his KO percentage is impressive at 87.1%, he experienced losses in two recent matches against younger opponents. These struggles suggest that while Browne retains power, his ability to handle fast and agile competitors like Ahio might be compromised. His experience may not fully counterbalance Ahio’s relentless power and youth in this clash.
