The upcoming RDR Promotions event in Newtown, Pennsylvania will be a smorgasbord of boxing events. The main event is heavyweights Brian Howard and Junior Wright. It’s also a bit of a juggernaut, as the two are tied with 15 wins apiece.
While the name Brian Howard is a given, the aforementioned Junior Wright has been a bit of a surprise. After all, he is a former world champion in the discus and high jump. In fact, he may have a more impressive record than his rivals. He also happens to be an honorable mention in the aforementioned rankings. So who is the better man?
On the flip side, Brian Howard has not exactly had the best of times this year. Despite the fact that he has won the big one in his favor, he has lost in the most recent round to Efe Ajagba. But that’s okay, because Howard has shown he can be a real contender when it comes to putting up points in the ring.
In addition to the big three, Berwick’s two pugilists, Liam Cronin and Garrett Modell, have a combined 17 wins on the year. They have also been in the Big Ten fold for a while now. As such, the two have a good shot at clinching the conference’s coveted title.
One of the best things about this year’s conference is that the competition isn’t as stiff as it used to be. That said, Berwick has only won two matches in the last six and has gotten off to a decent start in the Big Ten. Still, the aforementioned trio are all big names, and each brings a different set of skills to the table.
Moreover, while the Husker has a more than respectable ten wins on the year, they have only two losses to their name. This should bode well for the Tigers in the coming weeks. With a few key matchups on the horizon, the team should be able to make some noise in the coming months. Until then, be sure to follow the links for more details on the aforementioned bouts.
