Foreman to Return July 24

For his third fight since he began his comeback, Yuri Foreman is scheduled for another tuneup bout. This one will be held on July 24 at Roseland Ballroom in New York, New York. The proposed opponent is Jamaal Davis.

In his last bout, Foreman (30-2, 8 KOs) looked smooth and boxed expertly against his overmatched opponent, Gundrick King, in April. Davis (14-9-1, 6 KOs), who is the same age as Foreman and is slightly shorter, lost a unanimous decision to Patrick Majewski in February.

Davis's best win came last June against hard-punching journeyman Doel Carrasquillo. In that fight, Davis outworked his man with a crisp jab. But it would be difficult to find two fighters as different as Carrasquillo and Yuri Foreman. While Carrasquillo eats punches round after round hoping to land one big KO blow, Foreman is a skilled boxer who relies on constant movement to outpoint his opponents.

According to the nascent site BoxingStat.co, Foreman possesses more power and is able to take a punch better than can Davis. Foreman's first two comeback fights were both scheduled for six rounds; this one is slated for eight.

Wohlman to Return in July

Zachary "Kid Yamaka" Wohlman is slated to return to the ring on July 13. The bout is pegged for the Hollywood Park Casino in Inglewood, California. Wohlman will be looking for his first victory in almost exactly a year.

Wohlman (4-1-1, 1 KO) has had a difficult year in terms of his professional career. An accidental headbutt resulted in a technical draw against Jesus Vallejo last September. Two months later, Wohlman suffered his first defeat, losing to Alonso Loeza by way of fourth round stoppage.

Since that loss, Wohlman has had two fights cancelled. In February, his opponent failed a physical and the fight was called off. Before a fight scheduled in March, Wohlman broke his jaw in training.

There is no opponent scheduled yet for the four round affair.
