As we continue our segment of “This Week in Boxing,” we will see a familiar face back in action, yet again. On Thursday, Yory Boy Campas just can’t seem to stop; he will headline a card in Burbank, California against newcomer Rigoberto Placencia. Expect a lot of fireworks from the two Mexican middleweights. As we fast-forward to Friday, April 8th, we make a quick stop in Midlothian, Scotland. Sports network is promoting a show that features action in the super featherweight and welterweight division. The top two Scottish prospects in the super featherweight division, Alex Arthur and Craig Docherty are set to wage war against each other in what is sure to be one compelling and intriguing match up. American recognition and future big money fights would be the compensation for the winner. On the under card you can expect to see action from Kevin Mitchell who takes on the virtually unknown and inexperienced David Bailey. Also fighting on this spectacular under card is the upcoming English welterweight Gary Young. Gary puts his undefeated record on the line as he faces the always tough and persistent journeyman Viktor Baranov.
As we move ahead, we stay on the continent of Europe. In Bergamo, Italy, contenders Alessio Furlan and Lucca Messi will duke it out for the title. The fight is set for ten rounds and it is for the Italian junior middleweight championship. Furlan is looking to improve his unimpressive record. Furlan stands at 11-3-5 with 3KOs, as for Lucca Messi he is 27-5-1 with 11KOs. Look for both of these fighters to make a huge impact on the boxing scene before the weekend is upon us.
With more to come, I am Edwin Gonzalez. Part III will be up tomorrow evening.
