Thanks for the heads up, referendum. It's been a little slow the last couple months. Some good matches to look forward to.

Wow, I sure hope we dont lose any belts. I think whites will win every fight. One fight worries me a little is Froch vs Taylor.

I'm more concerned about the Bute-Andrade fight. Bute took a beating in their last fight, and barely escaped a win. I hope he can fight smarter in their rematch. That Andrade is like a brick wall.

 

[whiteathlete33]

Well according to boxrec Bute is schedule to fight Fulgencio Zuniga on March 13.

 

[j41181]

The Froch-Taylor fight looks even. But Taylor is NOT the same fighter, not after absorbing 2 big defeats against Pavlik. Froch should be able to handle him.

 

[whiteathlete33]

I don't know too much about Froch as he hasn't been tested yet. This is the only fight that worries me.

 

[j41181]

Oh, my mistake, referendum must have screwed up!

I'm certain though Bute will have a rematch with Andrade.

 

[j41181]

Best of Luck to all the white fighters!!!

Let's hope all of them win!!!!

Whoops, I was looking at Bute's last opponent, fixed it now. Anyway, I'm thinking that Froch vs. Taylor is the most dangerous fight for the white fighters. The odds for Abraham are huge (you have to put up 40 dollars to win one) on Klitschko 6 to win one, on Adamek tonite
-380 (put up 3.80 dollars to win one). Couldn't find odds on other fights yet.
Also, we will have to see what the status of the WBO cruiserweight belt is, as boxrec says Macca is fighting for the WBO interim belt in March and then that Ramirez is fighting for it in April. Sounds kind of like Chagaev and Valuev with the WBA heavyweight belt.

 

[whiteathlete33]

Adamek will win tonight. Trust me on that one. Froch is a good fighter however I hope he can handle Taylor. Taylor is top notch as well.

 

[j41181]

Just gunning for 500 at the the moment.

1000? Maybe next year.

Thanks for the complement!

bump for update, yet another fight on April 25, a big night for boxing.

 

[whiteathlete33]

Referendum 8 of the fights have a white fighting a non white. Silvio Branco is Italian. I believe that's the one you are missing.

 

[Blue Devils]

Froch-Taylor and Ismailov-Ramirez are the only fights on the list that worry me. Taylor's a world class fighter and if he fights like he did in the Pavlik rematch Froch-Taylor will be close. Ismailov is going to Argentina so he'll probably need a knockout to win down there.

Our guys could win every match on the list. I'm hoping for a clean sweep.

 

[whiteathlete33]

Yes, Froch vs Taylor is the fight that worries me. I hope Froch has enough experience and skills to win this fight. I don't think Froch is as good as Pavlik so it could be a close fight.

 

[P-NutLane]

I think Froch is gonna give Taylor a good whoopin. I like Taylor better than alot of black sports stars. He always was a good sport after the Pavlik fights.

 

[whiteathlete33]

The next 2 fights on the list feature whites vs whites.

 

[referendum]

I'm rooting for Wlodarczyk over Fragomeni because if he wins that might help set up an all Polish title unifier clash between him and Adamek.

 

[whiteathlete33]

Sturm will dominate Sato. Karoly Balzsay will win as well. Froch-Taylor could go either way and is really the only fight we have to worry about. Taylor is still a dangerous fighter and I have only seen Froch in action several times. I hope he can keep Taylor's jab at bay and dominate with power shots.

 

[Charles Martel]

It was a good first quarter of the year for white boxers, since Vitali, Bute, Chagaev, Abraham, and Adamek all successfully defended their titles against black opponents.

We still have 17 of 20 titles from middleweight to heavyweight.

 

[Blue Devils]

Ukrainian Vitali Tsypko fights Librado Andrade this Saturday. I believe it will be televised on Showtime.

Ukrainian Vitali Tsypko fights Librado Andrade this Saturday. I believe it will be televised on Showtime.

Sure would be nice to see Vitali pull off an upset, but he doesn't have the power to stop the iron-chinned Andrade. He is however better skilled, so there's a chance of him winning a decision if the scoring is fair. He was robbed against Jeff Lacy a couple of years ago - I'm hoping it doesn't happen again.

 

[whiteathlete33]

This upcoming weekend we have Duddy, Sturm, Balzsay, and Froch in action. This will be a huge weekend for white fighters. The only fight that worries me somewhat is Froch-Taylor. I don't know much about Froch but hopefully he can beat Taylor.
