No Fulton vs Figueroa 2, no downside. Showtime has formally introduced its February twenty fifth tripleheader at The Armory in Minneapolis, which sees Subriel Matias tackle Jeremias Ponce for the vacant IBF tremendous light-weight title in the primary occasion.
We’ve mentioned that combat lots, and suffice to say it is going to be a banger and a half. Let’s focus as a substitute on the opposite two items of the printed.
Jamal James (27-2, 12 KO) faces Argentina’s Alberto Palmetta (18-1, 13 KO) within the center bout. “Shango” hasn’t fought since a tricky loss to Radzhab Butaev two Octobers in the past, whereas Palmetta is 12-0 with 11 KO’s since getting stopped by future Jaime Munguia sufferer Gonzalo Coria in 2017.
Palmetta really fought on that very same Butaev present, beating countryman Yeis Gabriel Solano by cut up choice.
The opener pits Elvis Rodriguez (13-1-1, 12 KO) towards Joseph Adorno (17-1-2, 14 KO) at 140. Each males are on the comeback path; Prime Rank launched Rodriguez after a shock cut up choice loss to Kenneth Sims Jr in 2021, and after scoring stable knockouts of Juan Pablo Romero and Juan Jose Velasco, that is his largest alternative but to show they made a mistake.
The 23-year-old Adorno has lengthy been his personal worst enemy, shedding a number of alternatives on account of lacking weight and hitting his profession nadir in an 0-1-2. All hope isn’t misplaced, although; the defeat got here to Michel Rivera and one of many attracts got here towards Jamaine Ortiz, and he notched a stable victory at 140 final September by edging out unbeaten Hugo Alberto Roldan on Showtime.
Strong matchmaking. I don’t suppose both one will probably be “accomplished” with a loss, however there’s undoubtedly stress on each.
Three good, aggressive matchups, at the very least one in every of which goes to blow the roof off. Stacks up properly towards Paul vs Fury, don’t you suppose?
