First part of a regular feature I'm hoping to bring to my blog, where I will be tipping up some prospects to watch in action the weekend coming up. Here are four to watch this weekend -
Frank Buglioni (1-0, 1 KO)
Light heavyweight
 |
| Buglioni is many of rising stars under Tibbs guidance |
In action on Friday 18th November at York Hall.
Comes from the in form #TeamTibbs camp and this guy, who was an excellent amateur, looked very impressive in dispatching the tough Sabie Monteith in a round two weeks ago on the Burns v Katsidis bill.
Faces Portsmouth's Paul Morby, a very awkward fighter, who has gone the distance with the likes of Tony Jeffries and Rocky Fielding recently, but was stopped in three by Kenny Anderson in his most recent fight.
Paul Fleming (11-0, 8 KO's)
Super featherweight (#111 in the world and #2 in Australia with boxrec)
In action on Saturday 19th November at Homebush Sports Centre in Syndey.
A guy who I saw fighting on the Rios v Antillon undercard in LA, where he easily despatched Juan Jose Beltran in a round.
Classy fighter, big puncher, and is one of the hottest prospects in Oz, shown by his connections with Top Rank and Cameron Dunkin.
Faces Sonny Manakane (14-10-3, 8 KO's), an experienced Indonesian, who has shared the ring with the likes of Poonsawat and Z Gorres.
Tony Pace (1-3, 0 KO's)
Welterweight
In action on Saturday 19th November at Sobell Sports Centre in Aberdare.
Dont look at this guy's record and underestimate, very talented 18 year old fighter, who came to my attention a month or so ago, playing his part in a cracking six rounder with hot Oldham prospect Ronnie Heffron.
Picked up his first pro win three weeks ago, beating journeyman Carl Allen over four rounds, knocking his opponent down in the first.
Faces pro debutant Liam Ellis here in search of his second pro win in the Welsg valleys.
Wale Omotoso (19-0, 17 KO's)
Welterweight (#36 in the world and #2 in Australia)
In action on Saturday 19th November at Reliant Arena, Houston.
Nigerian born but now fighting for Australia, although seems to be forging a career over in the US now.
Super talented and super strong guy, who has come through some hard learning fights already.
 |
| Omotoso faces Tyler in Houston |
Put down in US debut last time out against Calvin Odom, but came back to win with a fifth round stoppage.
Been one of Amir Khan's chief sparring partners for Peterson fight.
Faces the very tough Lanardo Tyler (25-4-2, 15 KO's) who beat Vivian Harris last time out and went 12 rounds in December 2009 with Saul Alvarez, plus going 10 with the mentioned Lamont Peterson in November 2008.
The fight is scheduled for 8 rounds and is a very intriguing bout on the Chavez Jr v Manfredo bill.
