2015 Boxcino Junior Middleweight Tournament Heats Up!

The stage is set for the semi-final round of the Boxcino 2015 Junior middleweight tournament which pits the 2014 middleweight tournament runner up Brandon Adams (16-1,11 KOs) against Vito Gasparyan (15-3, 8 KOS); and Stanyslav Skorokhod (9-0, 7 KOs) against John Thompson (15-1, 5 KOs).  The semi-final will take place on April 3rd in Corona, California.

Adams, who made the move south of the middleweight division to participate in the Boxcino 2015 Junior middleweight tournament, is viewed as the favorite to win it all.  But the Ukrainian Skorokhod made a splash in stopping previously undefeated Michael Moore in 4 rounds and is also viewed as a strong contender to win the tournament.

A possible match between hard hitting Adams and Skorokhod in the Boxcino final has the hardcore boxing fans buzzing, after all, both fighters possess fan friendly styles and both scored impressive stoppages in their last outing.  But first Adams must get past the upset minded Gasparyan and Skorokhod must be able to deal with the always slick Thompson.

The tournament is promoted exclusively by Banner Promotions and shown on ESPN’s Friday Night Fights.
