Tomasz Adamek vs. Bryant Jennings a possibility

by

adamek1By Allan Fox: A fight between former two time world champion Tomasz Adamek (49-2, 29 KO’s) and unbeaten #13 WBO, heavyweight contender Bryant Jennings (17-0, 9 KO’s) is possible for later on this year in a fight could be televised by HBO, according to Dan Rafael. HBO hasn’t said whether they’ll agree to televise the fight or not at this point.

Adamek, 36, is currently ranked #9 WBC, #12 IBF, and he needs at least 1 or 2 wins over actual top 15 contenders for him to get ranked high enough to get a title shot against IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko.

The undefeated heavyweights, bright futures or inevitable declines?

by

fury43323By Scott Bells: It says a lot when promoters have to pad out fighters records to ensure they remain unbeaten simply due to the fact that the two who sit at the top of the tree (The Klitschkos) are so much better than the rest.

This is what, in my opinion, many promoters are doing as there is clearly a number of grades of fighters in the heavyweight division; some can make it to the top and others will not recover from the inevitable first career loss that most, if not all, will suffer to a Klitschko or a Haye type on the way through.
Let’s break them down…..

Scott, Jennings, & Wilder: Who is The top American Heavyweight Prospect?

by

wilder3By Bradley Swaine: Throughout the history boxing it is fair to say america has ruled the heavyweight division or at least had top fighters in every era of the heavyweight division. But in the last few years they have been quite anonymous. I am English but I believe we need a good American Heavyweight who will it be.

The American scene currently holds quite a few prospects but the top three have got to be Malik Scott (35-0-1 12KO), Bryant Jennings (16-0 8KO) and Deontay Wilder (27-0 27KO).

Starting with Malik Scott, until fairly recently he has being anonymous to the boxing world but as of late he has entered the frame with a great performance against Vyacheslav “Czar” Glazkov (14-0-1) and was in many’s opinion robbed by a bad decision. in that fight he showed brilliant footwork and great hand-speed proving he could be a test for anyone on his given day.

Fury: I want Deontay Wilder, Jennings or Banks in the United States

by

wilder5By Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten British heavyweight Tyson Fury (20-0, 14 KO’s) says he’s interested in facing American heavyweights Deontay Wilder, Bryant Jennings or Johnathon Banks soon in the United States. Fury, 24, doesn’t say when he plans on fighting one or all of them, only that he wants to fight one. It’s no secret that the talented knockout artist Wilder (26-0, 26 KO’s) tried calling Fury only last year but was only ignored. It kind of reminded me how Adrien Broner tried to get a fight with Ricky Burns and had no luck as well.

Wilder had this to say about Fury at Uk.fighthype.com, saying “I would like a fight with him [Fury] as soon as possible, but he’s a coward. He won’t fight anyone he knows he has a high chance of losing against.”

Deontay Wilder wants Bryant Jennings for next fight

by

wilder213By Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten heavyweight superstar on the rise Deontay Wilder (26-0, 26 KO’s) is looking for his next victim after easily dispatching 6’7” Kelvin Price (13-1, 6 KO’s) with a single right hand shot to the head that knocked him out in the 3rd round last Saturday night in front of a large national television audience in the U.S on Showtime at the Sports Arena in Los Angeles, California.

It was a good finish to what had been an unusually reserved performance from the young 27-year-old Wilder, but that’s why he’s so special. He’s got tremendous power that he holds in reserve and even if he’s not looking good, he can make up for his mistakes with a single shot to the head.

Image: Jennings-Wilder fight not happening for nowBy Scott Gilfoid: Unfortunately the mouth watering fight between two of boxing’s best heavyweight contenders Deontay Wilder (25-0, 25 KO’s) and Bryant Jennings (15-0, 7 KO’s) isn’t going to happening now. Wilder, 26, wanted the fight and was up for it, but there seems to be some disagreements about why it’s not happening. Jennings’ promoters at Main Event sent a contract over to Golden Boy Promotions matchmaker Eric Gomez, but it’s unclear what his thoughts are on the fight.

Main Events said on their twitter “Not a surprise. Deontay Wilder just passed on offer to fight Bryant Jennings in NBCSN main event on December 8th.”

Deontay Wilder targeting Bryant Jennings

by

Image: Deontay Wilder targeting Bryant JenningsBy Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten heavyweight prospect Deontay Wilder (25-0, 25 KO’s) is still having problems finding top quality fighters that are interested in facing him. One fighter that the 6’7″ Wilder would love to get in the ring is unbeaten Bryant Jennings (15-0, 7 KO’s), who Wilder feels he could really take apart no problem if Jennings’ team would agree to let him fight the talented Wilder.

Wilder told Worldwideweeklyboxingpredictionsleague.co.uk “For that Jennings guy, I’m glad he takes me as a joke, but it’s hard to laugh once your jaw gets broke. I would love to see a contract come my way. I would take it in a split second and give him a reality check…That would be quick work for me.”

Bryant Jennings Q&A ahead of fight with Chris Koval on September 8th

Image: Bryant Jennings Q&A ahead of fight with Chris Koval on September 8thBy Ian Aldous: Bryant Jennings (14-0) continues his journey towards to the top of the heavyweight division when he faces Chris Koval (25-9) on September 8th at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. The fight will be a co-main event on an afternoon card featuring former world cruiserweight champions, Tomasz Adamek and Steve Cunningham in heavyweight action. This past week Bryant took the time to talk with me ahead of fight night.

You’ve already fought on a Tomasz Adamek undercard. What’s it like fighting in a big sold-out arena with a great atmosphere? It’s something that not too many fighters experience in modern-day boxing.

BJ “Well, you get to showcase in front of a live audience. The intensity level is kind of higher and you get a little excited but at the same time it may bring some nervousness or some calmness, you need a balanced level and you just try to feel comfortable.”
