Cunningham vs. Braithwaite on Agbeko/Darchinyan undercard

Witter vs. Alexander is off the card, and I think they're moving it a few weeks back to July 24th. Cunningham vs. Braithwaite is an IBF elimanator and replaces it on the card.

Darchinyan vs. Agbeko is also supported by Yuri Romanov vs. Fernando Angulo for the vacant IBF Lightweight Title.

Boxing News magazine is my source but Boxrec confirms it.

Sounds like a solid card, which is impressive considering they lost Witter/Alexander.

'Just saw a couple of Agbeko youtube fights. He gets hit a lot. Darchinyan should walk all over.

What went wrong with Braithwaite?I was sold on this guy

Vic vs. Agbeko will be an absolute shoot out.Maybe Dent-chinin lays traps early but I think Kingkong gets him midway.

Just to update, Witter vs. Alexander is off because his trainer says he won't be ready in time for that date. It's expected to happen on either July 24th or August 5th.

Still, Cunningham vs. Braithwaite has been mooted for months, so it had to happen sooner or later and is a more than adequate replacement. The card is awesome, and what makes it more amazing is that its a Don King card and there isn't a Heavyweight in sight in the top 3 fights.

Good to see Cunningham back in the ring, Braithwaite too, to some extent. He has the recent win over Hernandez. But I think he gets smashed by Cunningham. This will be a boxing lesson or beat down. If Cunningham can't hurt him he'll boxer him, if he can hurt him, he'll punish him to a late stoppage!

I give Braithwaite a decent chance. He has good power. And Cunningham showed in his last fight that he ain't to hard to hit and that his chin ain't the best
