British Scene: Roman Martinez vs Ricky Burns Preview

Dave Oakes previews Saturday night's super-featherweight clash between Roman Martinez and Ricky Burns. Check back tomorrow for Dave's preview of the featured undercard bout between John Simpson and Stephen Smith.
The new boxing season begins this Saturday with two intriguing match-ups at the Kelvin Hall, Glasgow. The card is headlined by Roman Martinez, who’ll be making the third defence of his WBO super-featherweight title against Ricky Burns. The undercard is topped by a Commonwealth title fight between John Simpson and Stephen Smith.
Martinez (24-0-1 15KO’s) might not be the most well-known fighter but, in my opinion, he’s the best super-featherweight around at the moment and will certainly be the hardest opponent Burns has ever faced.
Burns (28-2 7KO’s) has put a good run of wins together recently, including three successful defences of the Commonwealth title, most noticeably against Michael Gomez and Kevin O’Hara, but Martinez will be a different proposition altogether.

Top prospect Akaho destroys opponent in 4
Super flyweight prospect Ryo Akaho continued his unbeaten streak by disposing of his Thai opponent in four frames on Monday. The JBC #1 contender, coming off a five month layoff, put on an impressive display of his offensive arsenal, with left hooks and uppercuts, a solid straight right, and a rather nasty body attack that would prove to be the type of blows that finished the unfortunate Thai fighter. With the win, Akaho improved to 15-0-2, 9KO.
The Scorecard Treatment: Chopped Down - Was DeMarcus Corley Robbed in Argentina?

Corey Erdman gives the scorecard treatment to this past Saturday's 140lb clash between Marcos Maidana and DeMarcus Corley.
There's nothing more common these days than claims of robbery in bouts that wind up in the judges' hands. One would think that we lived in the newspaper decision era, or in the time of mafia control with the amount of supposedly "suspect" verdicts handed out on a weekly basis.
To provide some clarity, let's go through this past weekend's WBA light welterweight title bout between Marcos Maidana and DeMarcus "Chop Chop" Corley from Argentina. Many believe that Corley may have been robbed, but was the fight one-sided enough to deserve that label?
Here you will find a round by round breakdown of the bout, as well as video links (at the bottom), so you can decide for yourself.
Fight Hub TV's fight correspondent, Marcos, gets a update from Bob Arum about how Manny is doing before the Pacquiao/Margarito press tour gets under way!
Japanese Scene: The Dawn of Hachioji Nakaya’s Second Golden Age

Photos © Sidney Boquiren / Regional and domestic junior middleweight champ Charlie Ota (left) and #1 middleweight contender Makoto Fuchigami share a laugh as lightweight titleholder Nihito Arakawa stretches behind them. Though the atmosphere at Hachioji Nakaya is relaxed, the tight-knitted group has pushed each other over the past few years to the top of their respective divisions.
Sidney Boquiren of RingwalkNippon profiles the current crop of talent at the Hachioji Nakaya Boxing Gym. For more Japanese boxing news and updates, you can follow Sidney on twitter: RingwalkNippon@Twitter
Nine years ago, a small gym on the western edge of Tokyo experienced its first golden age as it reared three champions holding a national or regional title. Established in 1995 in a rural suburb of the capital, Hachioji Nakaya Boxing Gym saw its first titleholder, light flyweight Koki Tanaka, crowned in January 2000. Middleweight Satoru Suzuki and featherweight Yuji Gomez followed Tanaka’s example, claiming belts within the next 14 months. For a family-run outfit not blessed with an advantage in location, boasting a trio of champions was an accomplishment of which to be proud.
The little-gym-that-could is now amidst a second era of success led by OPBF and Japanese junior middleweight strapholder Charlie Ota and national lightweight champ Nihito Arakawa. With JBC rated #1 middleweight contender Makoto Fuchigami, the new three amigos make up the core of an exciting stable of pugs that have been raised by gym owner and chief trainer Hirotaka Nakaya.
Kessler’s Departure Offers Outsiders A Lifeline, The Search For Mr.X and Ratings Gripes
by Andrew Harrison (Safe Side Of The Ropes)
It’s difficult not to feel it for Messrs. Hershman and the folks over at Showtime after Mikkel Kessler’s sudden and unfortunate departure from their creative Super Six tournament. The half dozen competitors vying for a semi final berth have (once again) rather abruptly become five and will likely, if sense prevails, morph into four. Dumping late entrant Allan Green out of the mixer completely in order to salvage the competition may now be a necessary evil, yet in doing so, the move would more or less make the points scoring malarkey of previous rounds well, pretty much redundant in all honesty (read more).
