Avanesyan vs. Kelly

The official Tapology discussion thread for the event!

Avanesyan vs. Kelly
Josh Kelly, DEC
COME ON JOSH!!!!! DO IT FOR BRITAIN!!!!!

Davies Jr. vs. Valenzuela
Robbie Davies Jr., DEC
COME ON ROBBIE!!!!! DO IT FOR BRITAIN!!!!!

Marku vs. Charlton
Rylan Charlton, DEC
DAMN! I'm going to be patriotic here but I do love Florian Marku's style even if he was disappointing in his last fight against Jamie Stewart. I might change this pick later, I don't know. I suppose that Marku will be even more fired up this time given how poor he looked in his last fight and find an early KO or has that draw affected his confidence? I really don't know on this one.

Gill vs. Juarez
Jordan Gill, DEC
Run of the mill for Gill.

Davies Jr. vs. Valenzuela
Gabriel Gollaz Valenzuela, TKO, R9
Another under the radar Mexican comes to the UK, hmmmm sounds familiar!!

Fisher vs. Gordon
Johnny Fisher, TKO, R1
haha these odds

Gill vs. Juarez
I feel disposed to Jordan Gill at -1000. He has a decent counter left. Gill is gonna goad the underdog.

Davies Jr. vs. Valenzuela
I am loyal to Robbie Davies Jr. at -350. He has a bonkers ankle lock and a nerdy leaping clothesline. Davies Jr. isn't about to shatter the achievement.

Fisher vs. Gordon
I crave Johnny Fisher at -10000. He has a killer crucifix. Fisher is gonna bully the adversary.

Marku vs. Charlton
I am sticking with Florian Marku at -150. He has a villainous inverted facelock and a brilliant harai goshi. Marku will best the opposing forces.

Mikey, I take it that you changed your cheeky Valenzuela KO/TKO prediction of Robbie Davies Junior last minute? Got to be honest, I have just snooped your picks and I must admit that your thoughts on this evening's UK Boxing Card is fairly similar to mine... I think Avanesyan's experience will be the telling difference in a fight that goes deep and although Josh Kelly might be slightly up on the Cards after the halfway mark, he his gonna run out of steam in the early phase of the Championship Rounds... I envisage a swift hook to Kelly's body being the telling blow, whilst tired from all the energy he exerts... Avanesyan is no joke!! Further down the card, I personally expect a straight forward night's work against a tough Mexican for Robbie Davies Jr... I envisage Rylan Charlton fighting his way through a frantic start from Marku, to either put Marku away from 6 - 8, or Win via a competitive decision... Charlton is being underestimated by Marku, unless Marku really did have a bad night against Jamie Stewart on his Matchroom debut in December... A fight Marku did Win, but the judges unbelievably scored as a draw, I might add... But, I was highly impressed with the skills of Rylan Charlton in his last outing, which was a surprisingly easy 3rd Round KO of the previously undefeated Joe Laws... 🤔🤑🥊👊👊🥊👍

Furthermore, keep your eye out Boxing Analysts for the Romford Bull, Jonny Fisher and expect him to do the business by KO/TKO inside of a completed 3 Rounds against domestic journeyman British Heavyweight, Matt Gordon, who has been stopped in 5 losses more than once and twice in the very 1st Round... Fisher is only 21, has 9 1st Round KO's from 10 Wins in the Amateurs and will be making his Professional Boxing debut on the evening... He is looking to put on an explosive performance too... Message to Matt Gordon, Matt if you read this, try and get through the 1st Round 🤑🤔👊🥊🥊👊👍 I do expect a Romford Bull finisher from the young 6ft 5 Brit though, who has sparred none other than Joe Joyce, Fabio Wardley, Dave Allen and Hughie Fury in his short time... 🥊🥊

Finally, Jordan Gill is up against a mediocre, ex Super Bantamweight Mexican Boxer in Cesar Juarez... I watched Juarez's last contest, which he took on approximately 1 weeks notice I believe and the slick and accurate Carlos Castro took Juarez out easily in 4 Rounds... I also witnessed Issac Dogboe beat Juarez by TKO in Ghana in January 2018, when Dogboe at the time was 17 - 0, a fight that secured Dogboe a shot at the Super Bantamweight World Title... Ultimately, Juarez is going to physically be the much smaller fighter, his speed and reflexes have slowed significantly has he has got older, he has a lot of holes and flaws to his come forward, pressure type style and he his a bit chinny to say the least... The perfect fighter for Jordan Gill to test his shot selection out on... I do expect Gill to get a finish inside of 8 Rounds, as the contest in my opinion, based on each others ability, is a bit of a mismatch, so I hope Jordan Gill delivers an impeccable performance... Should Gill win in style, Issac Dogboe, who has recently moved upto Featherweight and who has always wanted to Box in the UK, could be Jordan Gill's next opponent I am led to believe and that will be an Eliminator for a World Title... So bring your A Game Jordan and let's put Cesar Juarez away in style 🤔🤑👊🥊🥊👊👍

Come on Jordan, time to get some patriotic revenge for Josh Warrington, with a Top Performance and hopefully a Stoppage Victory 🙏 against seasoned Fringe World Contender, Cesar Juarez...Let's make a big impression and put on a display 🇬🇧🤔🤑🥊👊👊🥊👍

A good, solid Win from the technically astute Jordan Gill against Cesar Juarez a few moments ago... Juarez certainly came over to the UK to give it his all... Unfortunately for the Mexican, Gill's Boxing ability is on a slightly higher level, but personally, I am a little disappointed that, even though Gill Won the fight clearly, he didn't hurt Juarez through the whole 10 Rounds... I feel that Jordan's power has improved over the last few years, but tonight, a fighter who has been stopped in 4 by an excellent on the night Carlos Castro, stopped in 5 by Issac Dogboe and stopped in 11 by former World Super Bantamweight Champion, Angelo Leo, only recently as well, couldn't be hurt by a Boxer in Gill, who clearly Won the fight, but certainly doesn't have the power that I thought he would have, especially against a fighter who is arguably on the wrong side of his peak in Boxing ability... Good Win for Jordan though and Cesar Juarez made it highly competitive throughout... Jordan Gill may have just found out where his ceiling is at though... European level at best?? 🤑🤔🥊👊👊🥊👍
