Jamie McDonnell vs. Tomoki Kameda: While the main event won't have any titles on the line, the co-feature will. That fight is one between Jamie McDonnell (25-2-1, 12 KO) and Tomoki Kameda (31-0, 19 KO). The bout is scheduled to go 12 rounds and the winner will walk away with McDonnell's WBA "regular" bantamweight title. Neither fighter is very well known in the United States. with all but one of McDonnell's fights taking place in the U.K., the other being in France, and while Kameda has fought a few times in the U.S., most of his bouts took place in either Japan or Mexico. McDonnell is a tall, lanky bantamweight who fights out of the orthodox stance. He has a nice long jab and another weapon in his tool bag is a good straight right hand. One thing McDonnell doesn't mind doing is fighting off of his back foot but he can also lead the action from time to time. While McDonnell does use a left hook that lands, it doesn't have much on it and it is really his straight punches that make him effective. While McDonnell will take some clean punches he usually shows a good chin and his defense isn't terrible. The last time McDonnell lost a fight was back in 2008, but that loss followed his only other career loss which came late in 2007 against Chris Edwards, a 10-12-3 fighter. Like McDonnell, Kameda is also tall for the bantamweight division. Kameda will be the heavier handed fighter on Saturday afternoon and he also has a nice jab. Along with heavier hands Kameda also has an advantage in hand speed and his jab is very effective upstairs as well as to the body. In fact one of Kameda's best attributes is his dedication to body work. He has a very nice looking left hook, especially to the body and he also has a good right hand he lands upstairs or down. While it is McDonnell whose belt will be on the line, Kameda is probably the more skilled fighter. Kameda has heavier hands, faster hands and he will not lose his perfect record on Saturday afternoon, getting the win by the way of unanimous decision.
