Sam Noakes (6-0, 6KO) vs Michael Isaac Carrero (13-64-6, 6KO)
Welterweight (147)
Sam Noakes
There’s a growing fan base behind Sam Noakes, and there’s no wonder why. The Kent man has secured six stoppages in six fights, an incredible achievement when you realise this is at Lightweight. Of course, there was a similar feeling when Lewis Ritson was slicing through British level competition – and we all know how that story (has so far) ended. Incredibly powerful, Noakes keeps opponents under the heat and aims to land his shots on anything, including the guard.
Michael Isaac Carrero
I’m sure Warren will attempt to bill this as an international step-up for Noakes, but Nicaraguan, Michael Carrero, is an international journeyman. Without a win in six years (which came against a 0-11 fellow Nicaraguan), Carrero has tasted defeat sixty-four times over his career. Now thirty-five, with sixteen knockout losses to his name, and a tendency to be stopped when plying his trade in the UK, Carrero is going to struggle to live with Noakes.
