Mauro Forte vs Cristobal Lorente Undercard
Mauro Forte vs Cristobal Lorente Fight
Mauro Forte faces Cristobal Lorente for the EBU European Featherweight Title.
- Division/Weight: feather
- Mauro Forte record: 20-0
- Cristobal Lorente record: 18-0
- Belts at stake: EBU European Featherweight Title
Mauro Forte, hailing from Italy, turned professional in 2016 and has kept an undefeated record of 20 wins, including 8 by knockout, with 2 draws. His last bout against Milan Savic, who has a weaker record and was knocked out once in over 60 fights, showed Mauro's dominance but not against top contenders. This fight might challenge him more given Lorente’s unblemished record.
Cristobal Lorente from Spain also showcases an undefeated record with 18 wins and 1 draw since he turned pro in 2016. He scored a relevant victory over Andoni Gago recently, stopping him early. Given his higher knockout percentage of 44.44% and fighting stronger past opponents than Forte’s recent foes, Lorente could present a significant challenge to Forte.
Alban Bermeta vs Obinna Joseph Mathew Fight
Alban Bermeta faces off against Obinna Joseph Mathew for the WBO World Light Heavyweight Title.
- Division/Weight: light heavy
- Alban Bermeta record: 16-0
- Obinna Joseph Mathew record: 23-0
- Belts at stake: Wbo World Light Heavyweight Title
Alban Bermeta, an undefeated fighter since 2018 with a record of 16-0-1, confronts his stiffest challenge yet. His resume boasts a 75% KO rate and just came from a victory over Jose Yanez. The quality of that opponent (7 wins, 2 losses) indicates Alban might struggle against the spotless record and experience of Obinna.
Obinna Joseph Mathew, also unbeaten at 23-0 all by stoppage, maintains a brutal rhythm in the ring. His last bout against Russell Stoner Jones adds another notch to his belt of victorious encounters against advanced competition which gives him the edge in this match-up. Obinna’s consistent history in overpowering experienced fighters suggests he is on track to maintain an intense and formidable performance here.
Nelson Hysa vs Thorsten Fuchs Fight
Nelson Hysa and Thorsten Fuchs are set to fight for the WBO European Heavyweight Title.
- Division/Weight: heavy
- Nelson Hysa record: 17-0
- Thorsten Fuchs record: 13-1
- Belts at stake: WBO European Heavyweight Title
Nelson Hysis turned pro in 2022 and has maintained an undefeated record with 17 wins, 15 by knockout. His KO percentage is an impressive 88.24%. In his recent victory, he scored a knockout against Jeison Troncoso, who previously had only one loss. This performance suggests that Hysa’s power will pose a significant threat to Fuchs whose loss count stands lower.
Thorsten Fuchs joined the professional ranks in 2021 and sits at 13 wins and one loss with a 76.92% knockout rate. He recently secured a TKO win over Deibis Berrocal, an experienced fighter with a balanced resume of wins and losses. Given Fuch's success against such varied competition, his experience could prove crucial against Hysa's less diverse background of opponents.
Muhamet Qamili vs Cesar Ignacio Paredes Fight
Muhamet Qamili faces Cesar Ignacio Paredes in a featherweight bout.
- Division/Weight: feather
- Muhamet Qamili record: 11-0
- Cesar Ignacio Paredes record: 17-8
- Belts at stake: N/A
Muhamet Qamili, unbeaten with an 11-0 record, turned professional in 2020. His knockout rate is 45.45% over 49 rounds. In his last fight, he won by TKO against Lazar Pantic, who had a mostly losing record (3-13). Facing Paredes, who recently fought much stronger opponents but lost, might give Qamili an edge due to his momentum and confidence.
Cesar Ignacio Paredes has a record of 17 wins, 8 losses, and 1 draw since his debut in 2012. He has fought more rounds (155) with a lower KO percentage (29.41%). Recently losing to Jose Ramos Savin by unanimous decision, who held a perfect near-record, shows Paredes struggles against top fighters. Considering Muhamet's undefeated streak and faster fights, Paredes might find this matchup challenging.
Mikel Cullhaj vs Kabiru Towolawi Fight
Mikel Cullhaj faces Kabiru Towolawi in a cruiserweight bout with no titles on the line.
- Division/Weight: cruiser
- Mikel Cullhaj record: 6-0
- Kabiru Towolawi record: 22-9
- Belts at stake: N/A
Mikel Cullhaj, unbeaten since his professional debut in 2020, carries a record of 6 wins, all by knockout. His recent victory over Melbyn Hernandez suggests his power and stamina might dominate, given Hernandez's modest record. Facing an experienced Kabiru could be an important test for improving his mettle.
Kabiru Towolawi, holding a mixed record of 22 wins and 9 losses with high knockout rates, hints at significant experience and resilience. His last win against John Martin Cyril indicates maintained ability despite age. He has faced tougher opponents compared to Cullhaj which could benefit him in terms of handling pressure and making strategic decisions during the fight.
Xhuzepe Jaka vs Leon Maric Fight
Xhuzepe Jaka faces Leon Maric in a light heavyweight clash, with no titles on the line.
- Division/Weight: light heavy
- Xhuzepe Jaka record: 6-0
- Leon Maric record: 11-12
- Belts at stake: N/A
Xhuzepe Jaka turned pro in November 2023 and has maintained an undefeated record of 6-0, with four knockouts. His last win came against Kabiru Towolawi, a significantly more experienced fighter. Jaka's ability to triumph over experienced opponents suggests he might have an edge against Maric, who has had a mixed record recently and tends to compete within his comfort zone in terms of opponents' records.
Leon Maric debuted professionally in November 2020 and holds a fight record of 11-12, with six wins by knockout. His recent loss was to Jack Scott, a stronger opponent compared to his other recent matches where he faced less challenging adversaries. Given that context, Maric’s match against Jaka might be tough as he faces a rising star with an untouched winning streak and higher knockout percentage.
Ardit Murja vs Marlembron Acuna Fight
Ardit Murja takes on Marlembron Acuna in a super featherweight clash. No belts are on the line.
- Division/Weight: super feather
- Ardit Murja record: 14-1
- Marlembron Acuna record: 12-9
- Belts at stake: N/A
Ardit Murja, having turned pro in 2018, has built up an impressive record of 14 wins and only one loss, with 5 of those victories by knockout. His last match was a unanimous decision against Hector Betancourt, who has more experience but fewer knockout skills compared to Acuna. Given Murja's consistent performance against opponents like Betancourt, his chances look strong despite facing an opponent with significant knockout power.
Marlembron Acuna turned professional in 2014 and holds a mixed record of 12 wins, 9 losses, and a draw with a notable 83.33% KO rate. His last bout was a technical knockout win against Keyber Espinoza, an inexperienced fighter with no prior wins or knockouts. Comparing his recent performances and high KO rate with Murja's style and consistency in the ring, Acuna might find it challenging adapting to Murja's strategic fighting approach.
Denis Nurja vs Angel Adrian Barroso Fight
Denis Nurja faces Angel Adrian Barroso in a super welterweight bout.
- Division/Weight: super welter
- Denis Nurja record: 14-0
- Angel Adrian Barroso record: 9-4
- Belts at stake: N/A
Denis Nurja turned pro in 2018 and has maintained an undefeated record of 14 wins with 6 by knockout, showcasing a 42.86% KO rate. He recently outclassed Jose Espinoza, who holds a stronger record than Barroso. Given his ability to dominate more experienced rivals, Nurja appears well-set for this match.
Angel Adrian Barroso, with a professional start in 2021, holds a record of 9 wins and 4 losses, with a high KO rate of 88.89%. His last victory was against the significantly less experienced Yonaiker Gonzalez. Despite recent successes, his lower experience level compared to that of Nurja might pose challenges in this fight.
Maxim Prodan vs Alan Sebastian Velazquez Fight
Maxim Prodan is set to face Alan Sebastian Velazquez in a welterweight clash with no titles on the line.
- Division/Weight: welter
- Maxim Prodan record: 22-2
- Alan Sebastian Velazquez record: 4-18
- Belts at stake: N/A
Maxim Prodan turned professional in 2015 and boasts a record of 22 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw, with 16 of those wins coming by knockout. His last victory was against Miguel Cesario Antin, who had a less dominant record. Given Prodan's consistent performance against stronger opposition, he appears well-positioned for success in the upcoming match against Velazquez.
Alan Sebastian Velazquez also turned professional in 2015 but has struggled more in his career, holding a record of 4 wins, 18 losses, and 1 draw. His recent loss was to an undefeated Diego Krasimirov. Velazquez's ongoing challenges with more successful fighters likely indicate he might find it difficult to overcome Prodan's proven track record in their upcoming bout.
Hugo Micallef vs Bogdan Draskovic Fight
Hugo Micallef faces Bogdan Draskovic in a super light division bout.
- Division/Weight: super light
- Hugo Micallef record: 9-0
- Bogdan Draskovic record: 9-14
- Belts at stake: N/A
Hugo Micallef, undefeated with a record of 9-0 and two knockouts, turned professional in 2021. Recently, he defeated Sergio Odabai who had a weaker record compared to Draskovic. Given Draskovic's challenging record and higher KO ratio, Micallef might face tougher resistance but his flawless track could give him an edge.
Bogdan Draskovic comes in with a mixed record of 9 wins, 14 losses, and 1 draw, achieving five knockouts. His recent victory was against Miroslav Ivanovic, an underperforming opponent. Facing Micallef who has maintained an unbeaten streak might prove formidable given the discrepancy in their recent opponents' competitiveness.
Fabio Kaciu vs Edis Dzambas Fight
Fabio Kaciu will fight Edis Dzambas in a cruiser weight class, with no titles on the line.
- Division/Weight: cruiser
- Fabio Kaciu record: 4-0
- Edis Dzambas record: 4-61
- Belts at stake: N/A
Fabio Kaciu, new to the pro scene since May 2024, has knocked out all his opponents in four bouts. His notable victory was against Mikheil Khutsishvili last June, showcasing his power against an experienced fighter. Considering his perfect knockout record and recent win over a highly seasoned opponent, Kaciu is well-positioned for another dominant performance against Dzambas.
Edis Dzambas has been fighting professionally since 2016 with a discouraging record of 4 wins and 61 losses. His recent match resulted in a loss to Ion Daniel Ciuma by retirement. Facing Kaciu who has a similar unblemished record but demonstrated higher lethality suggests Dzambas might find this bout particularly challenging due to his continued struggle against fighters capable of early finishes.
Arjon Kajoshi vs Ramiro Blanco Fight
Arjon Kajoshi faces Ramiro Blanco in a super middleweight class bout.
- Division/Weight: super middle
- Arjon Kajoshi record: 13-0
- Ramiro Blanco record: 19-30
- Belts at stake: N/A
Arjon Kajoshi turned pro in 2019 and quickly claimed the WBF World Middle title. With an undefeated record of 13 wins, 9 by knockout, Kajoshi demonstrates strong offensive capabilities. His recent victory against Hristiyan Hristov highlighted his control over less experienced fighters. Facing Blanco, who has a higher loss rate, Kajoshi’s power and winning momentum suggest he will dominate this match.
Ramiro Blanco, an active fighter since 2014, currently holds a record of 19 wins and 30 losses. He struggles to secure wins against rising fighters as seen in his recent losses to opponents with significantly fewer fights but fierce records like Kamil Bednarek. Matched now against the undefeated Kajoshi, Blanco's experience isn’t likely sufficient to counteract Kajoshi's aggressive offense and stronger track record.
