Battle for supremacy and get ready for Kanat Slam PhilBoxing.com Thu, 08 Dec 2011 Lausanne, Switzerland, 8 December 2011 - As we go deeper into the competition, the action intensifies in the World Series of Boxing (WSB) as the teams battle it out for supremacy. None more so than in Group B, where the winner of the Baku Fires vs. Leipzig Leopards will sit top the table. Mexico City Guerreros first open the show with their match against the struggling Istanbul Bosphorus. A strong Venky's Mumbai Fighters outfit then welcomes the Los Angeles Matadors in a battle dubbed Bollywood vs. Hollywood, just as an intense rivalry is revisited with Astana Arlans hosting Dynamo Moscow. Thrilling contests as teams bring out the big guns for more top quality boxing action. All matches will be broadcast LIVE on worldseriesboxingtv.com Match of the week Looking to take a major step towards qualification for the WSB quarter-final stages, two undefeated teams go head-to-head as Baku Fires face Leipzig Leopards at the Olympic Sports Centre 'Serhedchi'. There promises to be a hot reception in the heart of the Azeri capital for the Franchise from Germany with Baku Fires lining up some heavy hitters who have the know-how to cause serious damage. Four of the Fires' boxers, Abdulhamidov, Grivachev, Magomedau and Abdullayev have a combined 20 WSB fight experience, and of these only two are losses. An awesome proposition for any team but with the Leopards savvy and well-drilled, this will be an intriguing contest. Leipzig can rely on Irish duo Egan and Sheehan and Germany's Burhard who each came back from the Olympic Test event with two golds and one silver medal respectively. Evenly poised and with top spot in Group B at stake, there is all to fight for. Fight of the week A rivalry that goes back to last season when the American Franchises were battling it out, Paul Gene Koon III fighting for his new team the Venky's Mumbai Fighters will lock horns once again with Los Angeles Matadors' Javier Torres.

Rest of the action When Venky's Mumbai Fighters face the Los Angeles Matadors in the unique setting of the T-Box Mobile Arena (Read more about it) at the In-Orbit Mall in Mumbai, India, they will feel that they stand a great chance of taking the overall victory. With crowds expected to pack the arena and with an atmosphere unparalleled, the Fighters will quickly look to assert their authority over the visiting team. If showman Siddharth Varma can concentrate on boxing and with Patrick Gallagher eager to impress, the Indian fans could soon be celebrating a landmark victory in Group A. With the Mexico City Guerreros so good at home in Group B, it is hard to see how bottom of the table Istanbul Bosphorus can get anything out of this match at Foro Polanco. However the beauty of boxing lies in the fact that anything can happen on the day. The Guerreros are taking nothing for granted against the visitors with four of their best fighters taking to the ring. Look out for young but experienced Heavyweight Juan Hiracheta, capable of the unexpected; this deceptively fast orthodox boxer is armed with an array of thunderous punches. Clash of the Eastern titans in Group A as Astana Arlans face Dynamo Moscow. There will be no love lost between these two teams with an intense rivalry that stretches back years.

Amongst these are lightening quick Merey Akshalov and the imposing Ruslan Myrsatayev. Boxer to watch Look no further than WSB's Knock-Out King Kanat Slam. The 27-year-old Kazak Middleweight boasts an impressive record in the competition, with one KO and three TKOs coming in his five victories so far. A true star in the making, and one of the most explosive fighters in the whole of WSB. The sought after orthodox pugilist will once again look to wow the crowds at the Daulex Sports Complex in Astana. There promises to be fireworks when the Arlans powerhouse takes to the ring against newcomer Aleksandr Ivanov of Dynamo Moscow. What was said "The journey has only begun.
