Upon hearing that U.S. Open champion Jordan Oliver would be going up against world champion Frank Chamizo at Beat the Streets on May 17, the excitement for the matchup was on an immediate high .

Oliver had a hard-fought and controversial run to the title in Las Vegas and will certainly need to bring his A-game when Chamizo comes knocking. The 2015 world champion recently claimed the 70kg title at European Championships and will come in as the favorite over Oliver.


However, while Oliver sat behind world team member Brent Metcalf, many people boasted about how Oliver's style and athleticism may have made him the better option against international competition despite falling to Metcalf.

Does JO's style make him a bigger threat to international competition? He's had some success against a few international opponents, but none on the same level as Chamizo. Well, now is the time to see if all that was true. But before we get to the big stage in Times Square, let's watch two of their more entertaining bouts.
