Abass Baraou and Macaulay McGowan are set to battle for the EBU European Super Welterweight Title at Victoria Warehouse in Manchester. The fight features Germany’s Baraou defending his title against local contender McGowan.
Baraou turned professional in 2018 and boasts a record of 15 wins with 9 KOs, showcasing rapid ascendancy in the super welterweight class. His latest victory over Sam Eggington, a seasoned fighter with a strong track record, was by majority decision this March. McGowan, who made his pro debut in 2014, has accumulated 20 wins but faces criticism over the quality of his recent opponents, who have significant loss records. This contrast in career management highlights Baraou as the more tested fighter heading into this match.

Abass Baraou vs Macaulay McGowan Undercard
Abass Baraou vs Macaulay McGowan Fight
Abass Baraou faces Macaulay McGowan for the EBU European Super Welterweight Title.
- Division/Weight: super welter
- Abass Baraou record: 15-1
- Macaulay McGowan record: 20-4
- Belts at stake: EBU European Super Welterweight Title
Abass Baraou turned pro in 2018 and boasts a fight record of 15 wins, 1 loss, with 9 KOs. His last victory was against Sam Eggington, a seasoned fighter with 34 wins. Baraou’s experience winning against tougher opponents like Eggington suggests he could maintain his edge over McGowan with more decisive techniques in the upcoming match in the super welter division.
Macaulay McGowan turned professional in 2014, holding a record of 20 wins, 4 losses, and 2 draws with 5 knockouts. Recently, McGowan won against Genadij Krajevskij, heavily outmatching him as Krajevskij has an extensive losing streak. McGowan’s recent matches against less challenging competitors could make him vulnerable when facing more seasoned opponents like Baraou who come with stronger track records within the same weight class.
Ryan Kelly vs Gerome Warburton Fight
Ryan Kelly faces Gerome Warburton in a middleweight class match.
- Division/Weight: middle
- Ryan Kelly record: 19-4
- Gerome Warburton record: 14-1
- Belts at stake: N/A
Ryan "Ruthless" Kelly turned pro in 2015 and holds a fight record of 19 wins, 4 losses, and 8 KOs. His latest victory over Ioan Alexandru Lutic demonstrates his consistency against less experienced fighters. Comparing their stats, both Kelly and Warburton have faced similarly diverse competition levels, suggesting an evenly matched fight ahead.
Gerome "Bread Maker" Warburton started his professional career in 2019 and has secured 14 wins, with only one loss and one draw. His recent split decision win against Aaron Sutton indicates his capability to succeed in closely contested bouts. Given Kelly's experience but comparable past opponent performance, Warburton might face challenges due to Kelly's slightly higher fight activity and power.
Ben Marksby vs Miguel Cesario Antin Fight
Ben Marksby faces Miguel Cesario Antin in a super light division match.
- Division/Weight: super light
- Ben Marksby record: 9-0
- Miguel Cesario Antin record: 20-15
- Belts at stake: N/A
Ben Marksby, an undefeated boxer from the United Kingdom, turned pro in October 2021 and has since accumulated a 9-0 record with no knockouts. He last won against Kurt Jackson, who had a lighter fight record compared to Miguel Antin. Considering Antin's extensive experience and higher knockout rate, Marksby may find this matchup strategically challenging.
Miguel Cesario Antin, with a more seasoned record of 20 wins, 15 losses, and one draw, stepped into professional boxing back in May 2015. His recent loss was against Tamas Kiliti, whose clean winning streak highlights the competitive challenge Antin faced due to powerful opponents. Facing an upcoming boxer like Marksby—who notably lacks strong knockout power—might give Antin an edge in leveraging both his experience and superior strength for recovery and technique in the ring.
Lerrone Richards vs Steed Woodall Fight
Lerrone Richards faces Steed Woodall in a super middleweight bout.
- Division/Weight: super middle
- Lerrone Richards record: 18-0
- Steed Woodall record: 18-2
- Belts at stake: N/A
Lerrone Richards, undefeated with an 18-0 record, turned pro in 2013. He recently defeated Mickey Ellison by points, showcasing his skill against a less dominant fighter in Ellison with a 14-7 record. Richards' consistent performance against such opponents suggests he may handle Woodall's style well, given Woodall's recent difficulties.
Steed Woodall has a record of 18 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw since starting his professional career in 2014. His last fight was a unanimous decision loss to Padraig McCrory, highlighting some issues against strong competition. Considering Richards' unbeaten streak and efficient fighting style, this might pose a challenge for Woodall who seems vulnerable in bouts against tactically sound fighters.
Dan Toward vs Ali El Said Fight
Dan Toward faces Ali El Said in a super welterweight match.
- Division/Weight: super welter
- Dan Toward record: 3-0
- Ali El Said record: 10-2
- Belts at stake: N/A
Dan Toward, turning pro in December 2023, boasts an undefeated record of 3-0 with two knockouts. Coming off a retirement win against Frank Madsen in March, Toward's aggressive style contrasts with Ali El Said's experience and higher knockout rate. This could prove challenging given El Said’s proven track record against more seasoned fighters.
Ali El Said, a professional since August 2018, has a record of 10 wins, two defeats, and two draws with seven KOs. His recent unanimous decision victory over Anzor Gamgebeli shows his capability to handle fighters with extensive bout experience compared to Dan Toward's relatively short career thus far. This suggests that El Said's greater ring experience might give him an edge in this bout.
Chloe Watson vs Kate Radomska Fight
Chloe Watson will face Kate Radomska in a flyweight class bout.
- Division/Weight: fly
- Chloe Watson record: 7-0
- Kate Radomska record: 4-3
- Belts at stake: N/A
Chloe Watson turned pro in 2021 and holds an undefeated record of 7-0. She recently secured a unanimous decision win against Justine Lallemand, who had more experience but notably fewer KOs. Comparing their records, Watson's consistent winning streak and tactical approach through decision victories hint at her readiness for Radomska’s challenge, given the latter's inconsistent results against lesser-experienced fighters.
Kate Radomska turned professional in 2021 and has a fight record of 4 wins and 3 losses. Her latest victory was a points win over Klaudia Ferenczi, who had substantially more bouts but a significantly lower win rate. This suggests that although Radomska can handle experienced fighters with many losses, stepping up against an unbeaten fighter like Watson could prove demanding due to Watson’s unmarred record and evident strategic finesse.
Mikie Tallon vs Marius Vysniauskas Fight
Mikie Tallon faces Marius Vysniauskas in a flyweight class bout.
- Division/Weight: fly
- Mikie Tallon record: 4-0
- Marius Vysniauskas record: 2-23
- Belts at stake: N/A
Mikie Tallon turned pro in October 2023 and holds an undefeated record of 4 wins, no losses. His latest victory against Adam Yahaya, a more experienced fighter with a strong knockout rate, suggests his solid defensive skills. Facing Vysniauskas who has a poor record of more losses than wins might give Tallon another win due to his momentum from handling tough opponents.
Marius Vysniauskas started his professional career in May 2018 and since then compiled a record of 2 wins against 23 losses, showing struggle at winning fights. Most recently, he lost to Nico Michael, an undefeated opponent with no KO victories. This pattern does not favor Vysniauskas against the younger and unbeaten Tallon.
Manuel Ortiz vs Christian Lopez Flores Fight
Manuel Ortiz faces Christian Lopez Flores in a bantamweight clash, no titles involved.
- Division/Weight: bantam
- Manuel Ortiz record: 99-28
- Christian Lopez Flores record: 14-40
- Belts at stake: N/A
Manuel Ortiz had an extensive career from 1938 to 1955 with 99 wins, including 53 by knockout. Last defeating weaker opponents like Papelero Sanchez suggests his dominance against less experienced fighters. Facing Lopez Flores, who recently lost to newcomers despite a similar KO ratio, indicates Ortiz’s experience might lead him to dominate this matchup as well.
Christian Lopez Flores turned pro in 2014 and has a challenging record of 14 wins and 40 losses. Recently losing on points to beginning fighters emphasizes his struggles in the ring. Considering Ortiz's strong track record and having engaged predominantly more successful opponents, Lopez Flores may find himself overpowered once again due to the disparity in their historical performance and winning momentum.
