Breakout 2015.

Post by IRLangmaid25 »

Who do we think are going to be the fighters who are going to breakout in 2015 and become big stars or clinch their first titles etc.

For me the ones to watch are
Olksyander (sp) Usyk (Cruiserweight).
Artur Beterbiev (Light-Heavyweight).
Anthony Joshua (Heavyweight)
Lee Selby (Featherweight).

Are the first names that came to mind. What do you think

I think Errol Spence will be co-featuring some of these Premier Boxing Champions shows & maybe headlining towards the end of the year.

First titles:
Billy Joe Saunders (think he'll beat Andy Lee)
Frankie Gomez (just a hunch that they'll step him up this year)
Artur Beterbiev (will make a big difference to his star-power if he can do it at 175, but I reckon he could dethrone someone at 200 if not)
Andre Dirrell (is in line for another shot at a world title - probably he pulls it off this time)

Usyk and Joshua continue to rise up the ranking this year but don't step beyond european level at most until 2016.

Wilder

Even though I see a loss coming within the next two years or so I think he beats Stiverne, makes at least one well publicized and successful defense against a mediocre challenger, and gets significantly more people talking as if he's the savior of the HW division. I believe that he'll cash in very well over a fairly short period.

usyk is so well rounded and experienced, being an elite amateur, he should get big fight as soon as possible. he is 27, big and strong, he can handle anybody, yes anybody.

usyk - lebedev !!!!!!!!!!!!!

so this is my dream scenario how 2015 should turn out. kovalev beats the shit out of pascal. than faces adonis and the winner faces bertebiev end of 2015 of beginning 2016.

jushua vs wilder end of 2015

dont care for selby

Kid Galahad I think will have a chance for a world title shot if he keeps going how he is. Would love to see him take it off Quigg.

As others have said, Beterbiev is probably the one I will be watching the most, this guy has everything.

Joshua will be a little less active in 2015, he certainly won't have 7 fights like 2014. Would like to see him against Johnson still, as I think that would be a really good test for him. A summer fight with Price, followed by two more with fringe World challengers like Leapai, Solis, Hammer, Perez, or Charr would be good. I am all for not rushing the guy, but he really is looking like the real deal, he just need someone a bit more durable to test him, and a big puncher like Price to show if he can take one on the chin.

Sorry can not see Galahad fighting for a legit world title in 2015 unless he changes promoters. looking at rankings best thing is get Shingo Wake over and hope Santa Cruz vacates.

Wake ain't coming over for anything but a world title fight and as he's associated with Kyoei it's more likely he'll be in the Rigondeaux sweepstakes. Galahad is said to be fighting Jun at some point this year in what would move the winner towards a WBC title fight

He is not going to clinch a title or that so to speak but I think Errol Spence Jr will be a big name come the end of 2015.

Rearrange that a bit and I agree.
