12/5 – Jean Marc Mormeck (37-5, 23 KO’s) vs. Mateusz Masternak (33-2, 24 KO’s) – Palais des sports Robert Charpentier, Issy-les-Moulineaux, Hauts-de-Seine, France
This is Mormeck’s second bout since his non-performance against Wladimir Klitschko in 2012. It looks as if the former WBA/WBC world cruiserweight champ had returned to the cruiserweight division, facing former WBC International silver and EBU cruiser titleholder Masternak. Masternak has a nice record on paper, but hasn’t faced any real top tier opposition. He does however, have a 15-year age advantage over the 42-year-old Mormeck, so he could pull this one out.
12/5 – Earl Newman (2-0, 2 KO’s) vs. Darnell Hayes (0-1) – Harrah’s Philadelphia, Chester, Pennsylvania, USA
Two time NY Golden Gloves champ fights for the third time in three months. In October he made his pro debut on the Barthelemy-Saucedo under card.
12/6 – Joel Diaz Jr. (17-0, 13 KO’s) vs. Pedro Navarrete (28-19-3, 17 KO’s) – Bell Centre, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
The undefeated super featherweight prospect picks up a scheduled eight rounder on the Pascal- Bolonti under card. Navarrete’s a gatekeeper of sorts, and has faced a number of up and coming prospects. He held the FECOMBOX super featherweight title in the mid-2000’s.
12/6 – Juergen Braehmer (44-2, 32 KO’s) vs. Pawel Glazewski (23-2, 5 KO’s) – EWE-Arena, Oldenburg, Niedersachsen, Germany
Braehmer makes the third defense of the WBA light heavyweight title in one year’s time. He hasn’t lost since 2008, and comes in off a stoppage of Enzo Maccarinelli and a decision over Roberto Bolonti. Glazewski is a former Polish and Baltic titleholder, the most recognizable name on his ledger is Roy Jones Jr., who beat him by 12 round decision in 2012.
12/6 – Brian Viloria (34-4, 20 KO’s) vs. Armando Vazquez (21-11, 4 KO’s) – Civic Auditorium, Glendale, California, USA
The “Hawaiian Punch” fights for the third time this year, and his third bout since losing the WBA and WBO world flyweight titles to Juan Francisco Estrada. Vazquez has never held, nor challenged for a world title, and comes in with a mish-mosh record of 1-4, with 2 no contests over the last two years.
12/6 – Jose Felix Jr. (27-1-1, 22 KO’s) vs. Luis Solis (15-5-4, 12 KO’s) – Civic Auditorium, Glendale, California, USA
Felix is also rebuilding; he lost a world title bout against Bryan Vasquez earlier this year, and came back to stop Alejandro Rodriguez four months later. Solis comes in off three straight losses this year.
12/6 – Thomas Dulorme (21-1, 14 KO’s) vs. Henry Lundy (25-3-1, 12 KO’s) – Barclays Center, Brooklyn, New York, USA
Dulorme won the NABF light welterweight title in his last bout, taking a 10 round decision over Karim Mayfield in March. His lone defeat came to Luis Carlos Abregu back in 2012, and he holds wins over journeymen like DeMarcus Corley and Harrison Cuello. Lundy is a regular on ShoBox, but “Hammerin’ Hank” was slightly derailed when he took back-to-back losses against Ray Beltran and Viktor Postol. Since then he’s come up with three wins.
12/8 – Joseph Diaz (13-0, 9 KO’s) vs. Jose Angel Berranza (36-31-2, 28 KO’s) – Cowboys Dance Hall, San Antonio, Texas, USA
Diaz is staying real busy. After fighting seven times in 2013, this will be his sixth fight this year, again headlining the card in a scheduled 10 rounder. He faces an 18-year pro in Berranza, who’s experienced, but has seen better days.
