By Jeff Aranow: IBF super featherweight champion Gervonta Davis (18-0, 17 KOs) is expected to defend his title next against former 130 lb. champion Roman “Rocky” Martinez (29-3-3, 17 KOs) in a showcase fight on the undercard of the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Conor McGregor card on August 26. Martinez has been win-less since 2015.
By Jim Dower: WBC super flyweight champion Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez (46-0, 38 KOs) is ready to put his unbeaten record on the line this Saturday night against his opponent from Thailand in Srisket Sor Rungvisa (41-4-1, 38 KOs) on HBO pay-per-view at Madison Square Garden in New York. This is a great chance for Gonzalez to get visibility in the boxing world and win over new fans, as his fight with the 30-year-old Rungvisai will be taking place on the undercard of the Gennady “GGG” Golovkin vs. Daniel Jacobs fight on HBO PPV.
(Photo credit: David Infante @787Films/Team Dulorme) By Allan Fox: Former light welterweight world title challenger Thomas Dulorme (22-2, 14 KOs) will be returning to the ring this Saturday night on June 18 in facing 28-year-old journeyman Jesus Gurrola (22-8-3, 10 KOs) in an eight-round bout at the Pabellón de la Feria, Albacete, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain. Dulorme will be moving back up to 147 for this fight. Dulorme previously fought at welterweight until getting knocked out by Luis Carlos Abregu in October 2012.
Dulorme, 26, hasn’t fought since being stopped in the 6th round by Terence Crawford last year in April 2015 in a failed attempt to win the vacant WBO light welterweight title in Arlington, Texas. Dulorme gave Crawford problems in rounds one through five. However, things fell apart for Dulorme in round six, when Crawford knocked him down three times in the process of knocking him out. That loss for Dulorme had to be a bitter pill for him to swallow because he had won his previous six fights after having been stopped in the 7th round by Argentinian slugger Abregu.
By Eric Baldwin: Top Rank promoter Bob Arum really believes he’s got future star in the making with newly crowned WBC super featherweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko (6-1, 4 KOs), who unseated WBC 130lb champion Roman “Rocky” Martinez (29-3-3, 17 KOs) last Saturday night in stopping him in the 5th round in their fight at Madison Square Garden in New York.
The 84-year-old Arum compares the two-time former Olympic gold medalist Lomachenko to that of Filipino superstar Manny Pacquiao, a fighter that Arum also promotes. Pacquiao recently retired from the sport last April after many years as one of the top fighters in boxing.
By Eric Baldwin: The sports of boxing have been hurting since Floyd Mayweather Jr. retired last September, leaving a huge vacancy that has yet to be filled. However, after months of searching for the perfect replacement for Mayweather, the sport have found one last Saturday night with the arrival of two-time Olympic gold medalist Vasyl Lomachenko (6-1, 4 KOs).
It’s not surprising that it took an athlete with the Olympic pedigree that Lomachenko possess for boxing to find the replacement. Lomachenko showed off his Mayweather-esque talent last night in beating WBO super featherweight champion Roman “Rocky” Martinez (29-3-3, 17 KOs) by a 5th round knockout at Madison Square Garden in New York.
By Chris Williams: Newly crowned WBO super featherweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko (6-1, 4 KOs) says he wants a rematch against Orlando Salido, the only fighter to beat him in the pro ranks. It’s now up to Lomachenko’s promoters at Top Rank and to a certain extent HBO to see if he can lure the 35-year-old Salido into a second fight with him.
Lomachenko defeated WBO 130lb champion Roman “Rocky” Martinez (29-3-3, 17 KOs) by a 5th round knockout last Saturday night at Madison Square Garden in New York. The victory for Lomachenko, 28, gave him his second division world title. He’ now expected to hold onto the WBO super featherweight belt and give up his WBO featherweight title. He can’t keep both.
