Picture By Mark Robinson Matchroom Boxing
The Scoring? Simple: point for a decision win, 2 points for a KO/TKO win and 0 points for a draw, with captain’s points worth double. Team Queensberry will be captained by Hamzah Sheeraz and Team Matchroom captained by Deontay Wilder.
Daniel Dubois vs. Filip Hrgović
Let’s dive right into the deep end with Daniel Dubois (20-2, 19 KOs), Queensberry’s human bulldozer, all revved up to flatten Filip Hrgović (17-0, 14 KOs), Matchroom’s golden boy who’s been dancing through his opponents like they’re made of feathers. He’s the textbook example of a fighter who’s been more protected than the Crown Jewels, hyped to the skies without much in the way of a real test.
Enter Dubois, armed with the kind of power that could solve energy crises, itching to turn Hrgović into yesterday’s news. Expect a spectacle of demolition. Dubois will expose every flaw, every hype-job element of Hrgović’s game. Dubois will be sending Hrgović back to the drawing board, if not all the way back to Croatia, with his tail between his legs.
Zhilei Zhang vs. Deontay Wilder
Next up, Zhilei Zhang (26-2-1, 21 KOs) is squaring off against what’s left of Deontay Wilder (43-3-1, 42 KOs). Zhang, big, bad, and decidedly not your buddy. This will be a retirement party that Wilder didn’t ask for.
It’s going to be brutal, unforgiving. Zhang will storm through Wilder’s defenses like a wrecking ball through a plaster wall. Each punch a reminder that Wilder’s days of dodging the inevitable are over.
Expect Zhang to deliver reminders with every punch that every career has an expiry date, and for Wilder, the bell tolls on Saturday.
Raymond Ford vs. Nick Ball
Onto the featherweight tussle. Raymond Ford might hold the belt, but Nick Ball is the scrappy underdog ready to brawl like it’s closing time and he’s been shorted on his tab. Ball’s tough as old boots and might just walk away with the title. Expect maybe a surprise, close upset but a clear win for Ford is more likely.
Hamzah Sheeraz vs. Austin Williams
Hamzah Sheeraz is about to get a wake-up call from Austin Williams. Williams is looking to redecorate Sheeraz’s mug for free. This one’s gonna be a clinic in pain, and Sheeraz might just leave the ring with a few lessons learned the hard way.
Ammo Williams, armed with talent that makes seasoned trainers weep with joy, is about to turn the fight into a live demonstration of what happens when raw potential meets refined skill.
Expect Williams to exploit every gap, every misstep with a smirk, showcasing a level of boxing IQ that’s simply leagues above what Sheeraz can handle. We’re talking about a comprehensive dismantling. Williams will not just defeat Sheeraz; he’ll redefine what it means to be outclassed.
Willy Hutchinson vs. Craig Richards
Willy Hutchinson is on a tear, but Craig Richards is no walk in the park. He’s got something to prove and enough grit to make it a long night for Hutchinson. This could go either way, but don’t be shocked if Richards turns the tables and sends Hutchinson back to the drawing board.
Dmitry Bivol vs. Malik Zinad
Lastly, in the light heavyweight title bout, Dmitry Bivol (22-0, 11 KOs) squares off against Malik Zinad (22-0, 16 KOs). This is such a mismatch it’s almost criminal. Bivol is in a different league, and Zinad is about to learn the hard way that stepping up to the big leagues can hurt more than a bad hangover. Expect an easy night for Bivol, with all of us hoping Zinad doesn’t take too much of a beating.
