By Robert Brizel, Head Real Combat Media Boxing Correspondent
In top boxing action, Euri Cedeno will face Ulices Tovar Rivera in the middleweight main event of an eight bout Ring Wars 16 King’s Promotions card in association with Top Rank and Boxlab Promotions, televised on DAZN from Wind Creek Event Center in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, on Friday night, March 14, 2025.
Cedeno, 10-0-1 with nine knockouts, La Romana, Dominican Republic, is favored to win by eight round unanimous decision over Rivera, 11-1 with seven knockouts, Guanajuato, Mexico, in an exciting close contest. Cedeno holds an eight-round decision win over 13-0 Yoanki Urrutia in Orlando, Florida in 2023, while Rivera lost an eight-round decision to 8-0 Alexandre Gaumont in Gatineau, Canada in 2023, providing the basis for the prediction.
In the preliminary bout to the main event, super lightweight prospect Bryce Mills, 17-1 with six knockouts, Liverpool, New York, is predicted to win by eight round unanimous decision over southpaw Alex Martin, 18-6 with six knockouts, Hammond, Indiana. Martin has been knocked down six times in his six losses, thought stopped only by 24-1-1 Oscar Duarte Jurado in 2023. Mills could possibly stop Martin in the seventh or eighth round if he puts on a solid technical performance.
Super lightweight prospect Joseph ‘Blessed Hands’ Adorno, 20-4-2 with 17 knockouts, Allentown, Pennsylvania, is predicted to win by fifth round stoppage over traveling Wesley Rivers, 8-5 with three knockouts, Dearborn Heights, Michigan. Adorno is one class above any fighter Rivers has faced, Adorno having been in with Nicholas Walters and other world-class opposition. Rivers, who was stopped by 7-1 Elijah Williams in the sixth round in Nashville, Tennessee in 2024, will find the going rough with Adorno.
Super featherweight prospect Julian ‘Gifted’ Gonzalez, 15-0-1 with 11 knockouts, Reading, Pennsylvania, is predicted to win by sixth round stoppage over Armando Frausto, 10-5-1 with five knockouts, La Marque, Texas. Frausto has been stopped twice in the past 36 months by Richard Medina and Kaipo Gallegos, and Gonzalez is a heavy hitter.
Female super bantamweight Brittany Sims, 7-3 with four knockouts, is predicted to win by first or second round stoppage over trial horse Wendelin ‘La Flaca’ Cruz, 6-16-1 with one knockouts, Managua, Nicaragua. Cruz has lost 15 of her last 16, with one win over a professional debut. Cruz was stopped by Mia Ellis in the second round in Washington in September 2024. Sims, technically sound, is on a roll, and has outpointed three opponents, while stopping two pretenders in the first round, in her last five bouts.
Female bantamweight prospect Shera Mae Patricio, 4-0 with two knockouts, Waianae, Hawaii, is predicted to win by fourth round stoppage or knockout over trial horse Nancy ‘Chatita’ Franco, 19-22-2 with five knockouts, Guadalajara, Mexico. The more experienced but aging Franco has faded to 0-8 with one no contest in her last eight bouts, and Patricio’s merciless constant jab attacks will break Franco down in a few rounds. An early showcase bout for the rapidly rising Patricio’s talents to world class status.
Welterweight prospect Ibrahim Robinson, 7 -1-1 with five knockouts, Baltimore, Maryland, is predicted to win by second or third round knockout over Rommell Toran, 2-4-1 with two knockouts, Ohio. Robinson has knocked out all five of his opponents with losing records.
In heavyweight action, Adam Atiyeh, 2-0, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, is predicted to win by four round unanimous decision over Mike Liberto, 1-0 with one knockout, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. A stoppage favors Atiyeh, whose two bouts were in 2024, over Liberto, inactive a decade, but in heavyweight wars anything can happen.
