By Tim Royner: Matchroom USA announced their DAZN card for October 6th today with the following fights on the card: Jessie Vargas vs. Thomas Dulorme in headliner, Jarrell ‘Big Baby’ Miller vs. Tomasz Adamek, Artur Beterbiev vs. Callum Johnson and Daniel Roman vs. Gavin McDonnell. Those are basically mismatches. The card is horrible.
By Ian Aldous: He certainly didn’t do it the easy way. Daniel Roman (24-2-1) did something that few fighters from the West do – travel to Japan and claim a world championship. Not only that, but he travelled back there to defend it. Now he’s back fighting in the U.S when he defends his WBA super-bantamweight world title against Moises Flores (25-0) on Saturday night at the Ford Center at The Star, Frisco, Texas, live on Showtime. Last week, he took some time to talk with me over the phone about his time in Japan and Saturday’s fight.
By Rishad Marquardt: Today, WBA super bantamweight champion Daniel Roman made a successful defence of his belt against challenger Ryo Matsumoto at the Korakuen Hall in Tokyo by winning a twelve round unanimous decision. It was a brutal fight with both fighters trading and landing flush from bell to bell.
