Miguel Berchelt vs. Maxwell Awuku: Who's watching?

[Ruthless-RKO]

Box-Nation are continuing to show boxing every week non-stop.. I believe we have a few more cards following this weekend.

This weekend is.. Miguel Berchelt vs. Maxwell Awuku



Exciting Super-Featherweight Miguel Berchelt makes the second defence of his WBC crown against Ghanaian challenger Maxwell Awuku on February 10th in Mexico. His original opponent was WBC #39 Carlo Magali. Now at the time Awuku was brought in, he wasn't ranked in WBC's top 40!

With Vasyl Lomachenko planning a move up to Lightweight, Berchelt will be hoping to establish himself as the new king at 130 pounds this year.

[Ruthless-RKO]

As expected, Miguel Berchelt made easy, quick work of overmatched Maxwell Awuku on Saturday night.

Mexico’s Berchelt dropped Awuku twice and stopped the veteran from Ghana in the third round of their scheduled 12-round fight for Berchelt’s WBC super featherweight title at Plaza de Toros in Cancun, Mexico. The 26-year-old Berchelt (33-1, 29 KOs) made the second defense of the WBC 130-pound championship he won by knocking out fellow Mexican Francisco Vargas in the 11th round of their January 2017 bout in Indio, California.

It was apparent almost immediately that the heavy-handed Berchelt would be too much for the left-handed Awuk (44-4-1, 30 KOs). Berchelt backed him up several times in the first round with hard right hands.

I don't mind at all guys like Berchelt taking fights against overmatched opponents like this on occasion. I just wish that when they did we'd see them in action again in no more than 2 or 3 months tops.
