A very slow weekend this week as far as I know only the female headed card on Sky and broadcast on ESPN+ is broadcast on North American tv. On this card a few White prospects fight on the under card and Jack Massey makes a comeback fight at his natural weight 200 pounds against a fairly obscure journeyman. Massey's stock rose after going the distance with the resurgent Parker, especially after the one sided boxing lesson Parker gave Wilder. Maybe Massey should fight Wilder in a retirement match in desert in Saudi Arabia...
PS obscure flyweight world champion Artem Dalakian defends his WBA flyweight championship in Japan on Tuesday. Dalakian has travelled to England to defend his belt and was given a fair shake by the judges and now takes belt to Japan and hopes for the same officiating.
This is his 7th defense but he has never had a high profile defense. I don't get why he wasn't offered a decent contract to fight Edwards or sign with Hearn. If he escapes with his belt in Japan hopefully he gets a high profile bout in the future, maybe he can fight Edwards in a comeback fight but Bam is "moving on up" if the stories about him seeking high profile matchups are true.
Updating the Sky card Jack Massey blew out his limited opponent in his comeback to the 200 pound division. He probably will get a live opponent in his next bout as this was just a live sparring session.
I know we don't discuss women's boxing much but in the main even White American Mikaela Mayer seems like she can't get any close decisions in GB as she seemed to beat her British Mulatto opponent with ease after being out boxed over the first two rounds where her opponent boxed with an in and out style but slowed down and then was beaten up and gave ground but still won a split decision when the cards were read.
PS2 Updating the Dalakian fight and he seemed to get outworked by his Japanese national opponent. According to ringside reports from respected hall of fame reporter Joe Koizumi he was reluctant to engage his aggressive Japanese opponent and lost an obvious decision.
This is a big setback in his career as I don't know what kind of draw he is without a championship strap as he has been rather inactive and a bit of king without a kingdom as his natural home turf has suspended sporting activities while bombs randomly rain down on any area of the country at any time. If he wants to fight on and have a road to the top of the 112 pound division or higher divisions he may need to sign with a Hearn to accomplish this.
