This is a step up fight for him.
Yes, I was watching some of his videos and he looks amazing.
I mean you know he looks uh well in shape.
He looks like he’s doing his thing and this is gon na, be a good opponent for him, for you know for him to jump into the next to the next level.
So definitely definitely and they will be clashing guys for that vacant.
Wba international title, so you know uh.
This is definitely uh got to be Pattinson’s toughest test.
So far in his professional ranks.
Um – and you know what it’s it’s gon na make for a great match.
Um Pattinson, you know, is put a.
He hasn’t put a foot wrong since turning over in Newcastle back in June of 2021.
You know winning all five of his contests three by coming by way to knock out in the 20-year-old Southpaw picked up that vacant IBO Continental Title last time out in Nottingham uh.
Also, we, you know Tokyo 2020 Olympic silver, medalist turned welterweight Prospect.
Pat McCormick three and over 2kos looks to wow his home crowd against Italy’s Dario Sosi uh who’s 15 7-206 Kos.
Looking forward to that fight as well uh, the Ben Davidson trained Talent put pen to paper on a long-term promotional deal with Eddie Hearn last October and made a winning start to life under the matchroom banner by out pointing Christian uh Nicholas adino at Wembley’s ovio arena.
In November uh Birmingham heavyweight Solomon decares 501 gets the opportunity to fight for his first title in the paid ranks, as he collides with newcastle’s unbeaten Robert uh Ismail, who’s 11-0 with 4kos for that vacant, English heavyweight title and then uh lead super Bantam, Contender, Hopi price Love this kid man 9-0’s.
You know he fights for his second in Pro title, as he continues to March up that 122 ladder uh taking on Frenchman, Thomas Mason, who is 25 and one with seven kills for that vacant.
Wba Continental Title so lots and lots of action on this card, guys not going to want to miss that one.
This one is starting: uh, 3 P.
M.
Eastern time you’ll be able to check that out.
Um live on the Zone in over 200 countries.
So definitely uh.
You won’t want to miss that one be a great way to uh nurse that hangover after Friday night’s parties right.
Oh definitely, you know this is one to watch.
You know, and at least by the time three o’clock hits.
You should be over your hangover on Friday night or just we’re just waking up or just waking up, but you don’t want to miss this one and also later on in the day, also through the Zone um, it was just announced that the uh Gilberto Ramirez Ramirez Um uh versus Gabe Rosado was uh postponed due to hebato Ramirez, not making weight uh.
So now, JoJo Diaz uh, which is 32 3 and 1 with 15 Kos uh, will be facing uh Filipino uh boxer uh marcito hesta, which is 33-3 with 17 Kos.
So now they jump up to the main event now: listen, both of them are hungry, right, they’re, they’re, they’re.
You know the last several fights that you know for Jojo Diaz haven’t been that great.
You know he he I believe he lost his last fight.
So now he’s coming back with vengeance in order to prove himself and to make a stance in the lightweight division.
So um it’s a fight.
You got to watch like I said, they’re going to be hungry, typically hungry Fighters.
They give their best.
You know it’s not like when you got a belt and you just kind of lay back uh, these hungry Fighters that have a couple losses.
These are the fights that you know.
Of course we want to watch undefeated Fighters as well, but uh once once you got a couple losses.
You got something to prove um unless uh you’re gon na be a gatekeeper, but I don’t think JoJo Diaz is trying to be a gay gatekeeper, he’s going to work his way back into a title, uh a title fight – and this is uh the beginning for him.
So um it’s gon na be a great matchup.
Both of them are actually pretty evenly matched up.
I mean you know.
Jojo Diaz is five.
Six man seal his size, five, seven uh.
The only difference is uh.
The age.
Hestock is five years older um and has a four inch reach Advantage, so so uh, the only thing that I see that it will be a difference is exactly that.
You know just just the reach Advantage, um and then JoJo Diaz has the age Advantage.
So, let’s see I mean you know both of them are southpaws as well.
So it’s going to be like it’s going to be a fight for that foot.
Please! Oh yeah, foot placement Mirror Image.
You know it’s.
It’S gon na be a little.
You know uh.
Even for the viewers, it’s going to be a little confusing, but at the end of the day, one of them have to become Victor, and one of them is going to step up to the next uh level.
Uh, which will be you know, hopefully in a couple more fights, will be a title contention.
Yeah.
Definitely, I hope so as well.
Um also um Eric Tudor 7-0 taken on uh keto King uh who’s, seven on one.
That’S in that super welterweight division.
Um.
You know air tutor.
I’Ve been talking with this kid for a little while uh he’s ranked 3 45 right now, uh and he’s stepping up man he’s he’s taking on somebody who’s ranked at least 100 points higher than him right now and uh.
You know you know.
That’S going to make for a great super Welter battle on that car, because I know this kid’s fast likes to hit hard uh definitely got that speed.
That great Ring IQ knows how to cut those angles.
So there’s going to be a lot of great undercard action, even though it’s not a super huge undercard uh, all these guys are undefeated and they are stepping it up.
Man uh, you know it’s.
These guys are all sub 10 fights uh.
You know looking to hit that next upper echelon of of the career and uh.
You know they’ve got some journeyman and uh that are in there and some Gatekeepers and uh it’s.
I think it’s gon na be a showing so definitely you’re going to want to tune in to the undercard of this one, because it’s a showing that’s what it is.
It’S a showing and a Showcase of talent and you’ll see lots of it on on the undercard of that one.
So you know it’s unfortunate that we don’t get to see uh zerto it’s unfortunate, but uh.
You know next time it’ll it will be uh, it’ll, be rescheduled and, and we will definitely get to see that match soon enough.
Well, you know uh, I the the way that I think about it.
You know he he had to me.
You know in boxing you have to be professional, you know you have to make weight um and and in order to show your professionalism like I said you got to make way um you know Gabe Rosado in his videos, you’ve seen him he was weight trained.
He looked very slim.
He was ready for his fight.
He even poses something on Instagram yeah, basically letting the whole entire world know that he would he made weight and sudo Ramirez did not yeah, but okay and he missed it badly.
Not just a little bit like not hey, hey, take two hours come back, my way again kind of thing: no, he missed it badly.
So obviously that was a mistake on his on his training camp and and uh.
You know, and his nutritionist and definitely they’re gon na have to get a hold of that before that next fight man, because you know certain things like this cause big problems, yeah and and for him it was supposed to be a fight because he, the last fight He fought was against Dimitri beble, which he lost.
So this fight.
You know.
Obviously we all know who Gabe Rosado.
Is you know he? He definitely had.
You know he.
He has a puncher’s chance.
You know he knocked out the bully.
You know, but at the same time the whole boxing world knows who Gabriel Rosado is exactly.
You know he he’s definitely a gatekeeper but he’s a high quality gatekeeper, so sudo Ramirez was coming in here, just to probably gain a win right.
At the same time, you can’t count Gabriel, you can’t definitely can’t he’s got power.
He’S got that good night power.
He does oh yeah.
He has that ability to shut off the lights and uh and walk away with a victory.
You know you can never count them out.
Man like I say it only takes one pension, one punch to change the entire outcome of the fight.
Well, those are all the fights really that uh that are taking place this weekend.
Um, you have anything else.
You want to add before we get out of here and let these people get out to celebrate St Patrick’s Day and recover tomorrow, so they can watch Boxing well uh one thing: I’m going to give everybody a tip: don’t drink and drive.
