Its Big Boxing time, with a KO-special this week. Three of the high-profile fights could well finish inside the distance this weekend, with Liverpool, UK and Brooklyn, New York enjoying the best of the action.
Take a look at these three bouts with an eye on a three-fold accumulator of stoppage victories…
Anthony Fowler vs Brian Rose
Fowler is on the comeback march following suffering the first defeat of his professional career early this year to Scott Fitzgerald. In a Fight of the Year contender, ‘Fitzy’ broke down ‘The Machine’ over 10 rounds of grueling action. Rose is edging towards the end of his career and has been hand-picked by Matchroom to get Fowler back to winning ways. Fowler was an established amateur who is still expected to achieve big things in the pro game.
Fowler is an extremely well-conditioned boxer who lives his life in the gym. Rose claims to be close to his best for this most recent challenge, however, it’s expected to be one step too far for ‘The Lion’. Fowler will be looking for a statement victory – one that comes inside the distance.

Adam Kownacki vs Chris Arreola
Kownacki is on the verge of big things in the heavyweight scene, with Arreola knocking on the door of retirement. I can’t see this being anything but a fire-fight from the first bell inside the Brooklyn Center, with both guys trading up looking to land early. ‘Babyface’ is slowly building a resume of good wins against the second tier of heavyweight contenders – Arreola is primed to be picked off by the 30-year-old with one foot already out of the door.
If Arreola committed more to life as a heavy then this could be a 50/50 fight, but at 38, he is what he is. Kownacki can be hit which gives the early rounds slight jeopardy, but not enough.

Marcus Browne vs Jean Pascal
Pascal isn’t only fighting Marcus Browne this weekend, he’s fighting Father Time. Pascal has somehow managed to get another shot at a light heavyweight top 5 guy, having dropped losses to Kovalev, Bivol and Alvarez over the last three years, however, a loss to Browne this weekend may well signal the end of his career as a contender.
Browne has made no secret of his intentions to destroy Pascal in Brooklyn, with the southpaw buoyant after his impressive win over a bloodied Jack in January. Browne is reaching his peak as a professional, with his speed, power and gas tank surely too much for a shopworn Pascal to negate.
