By Eric Thomas: IBO super middleweight champion Tommy Oosthuizen (17-0, 12 KO’s) will be making his fourth defense of his International Boxing Organization title on Saturday night against 29-year-old Australian Serge Yannick (14-1, 7 KO’s) at the Emperor’s Palace, Kempton Park, Gauteng, South Africa.

By Robert Elmore: I understand the frustration from fight fans that mega fights don’t get made or they get delayed for some reason or another. I may not know the ins and out of boxing, but this I know this for sure. It’s a business.

By Phil Newsham: Nobody likes to see a fight where two fighters are dancing around the ring looking more the part for Strictly Come Dancing rather than displaying their skills of the noble art. We all love to see them throwing plenty of punches, whether it be to the body or head.

By Jim Dower: 22-year-old light welterweight contender Pablo Cesar Cano (23-1-1, 18 KO’s) dropped down a division to defeat Francisco Contreras (16-2, 13 KO’s) by a 5th round TKO on Friday night to capture the World Boxing Council (WBC) FECARBOX lightweight title at the Grand Oasis Resort, Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico.

I’m going to be laughing tonight at this slaughter and enjoying every last second.

Chisora really stepped in on Friday during the weigh-in when he decided it was a good idea to slap Vitali across the face. Chisora got away with the slap but will be repaid tenfold by Vitali tonight, and will likely be kicking himself for not cringing and groveling during the weigh-in instead of playing tough guy. Had Chisora kissed Vitali’s backside over and over again, he might have been lucky enough for Vitali to treat the fight like a 12 round sparring session instead of a seek and destroy mission like he’s going to be doing tonight.

By Allan Fox: Former IBF light flyweight champion Luis Alberto Lazarte (49-11-2, 18 KO’s) has reportedly been banned in participating in any future International Boxing Federation related fights, according to fightnews.com.

It’s kind of an odd match, as it’s difficult to see either of these guys as championship material, even if it’s only an interim strap.
