This past Friday certainly wasn't the busiest or best night of Heavyweight action but it was an interesting day, at least on paper.
The interest didn't come from the days first bout which was in Australia and saw Patrick Eneanya (2-0, 2) over-come fellow unbeaten Joel Clifton (1-1, 1) in just 2 round. Eneanya is a former amateur fighter who appears to have solid skills and power, considering his inexperience, and could well step up a bit from this level of fights.
On paper the interesting bout came in the UK as fringe world level fighters collided in a bout for a pair of regional titles. Unfortunately however the bout stunk. That's because the popular Lucas Browne (21-0, 18) came in over-weight and looking under-trained in for his battle with Ukrainian Andriy Rudenko (24-1, 16). On paper the bout was great but in reality it was poor with Browne looking very slugging and Rudenko looking too limited to make the most of Browne's poor conditioning.
In the end Browne took a unanimous decision, very luckily for him, but perhaps found his level. Funnily if Browne lost another 10-15lbs he would probably be able to make himself a contender but it appears his love of the game has gone. A real shame considering how close he is to a major pay day.

Upcoming bouts: Friday August 1st-Lucas Browne Vs Andriy Rudenko headline the day
This coming Friday isn't a busy day in the Heavyweight division with only a handful of bouts but one contest really does stand out as a really decent one, at least on paper.
That stand out bout is in the UK as the fun to watch and very personable Lucas Browne (20-0, 18) battles against Ukraine's Andriy Rudenko (24-0, 16). The bout, for two regional titles, promises to be a really good fight for as long as it lasts though we really can't see past a Browne stoppage. We'll admit we are Browne "fans" though we understand his limitations and even with those he should still find his way past the protected Rudenko.
In Australia we get another battle of unbeaten fighters as Patrick Eneanya (1-0, 1) battles against Joel Clifton (1-0, 1). The bout isn't the mos attractive due to the inexperience of both men but it should still be a good one between two guys who won't be wanting to lose their unbeaten record this early in their career.
A third bout takes place in Mexico where the debuting Rafael Rios (0-0) fights against the win-less Edgar Najera (0-1). Hard to saw much about this one sadly though "Porky" Najera has been inactive for about 8 months following his debut last December.
