i have yet to see this kid in action,but have heard on the grapevine he's the goods.anyone here seen him fight?judging by his boxrec stats,he's being fed stiffs so far...

MrMagic · 10-09-2010, 05:04 PM

He's the 6'6 guy from PR, no?

I vaguely remember seeing him in the amateurs, he looked good. A bit skinny though, no?

Luscious Lopez · 10-09-2010, 05:08 PM

have seen a measly exerpt on youtube - yeah,he looks fairly skinny.mind,at 6'6",he should have the tools to get thru most cruiser defences,even if his midriff is his achilles heel,wouldn't you say...

Yep, he better use his height because the cruiserweight division holds more tough powerpunchers than any other division today. Marco Huck, Dennis Lebedev, Yoan Pablo Hernandez and Alexander Frenkel.

Those names may not ring well among average fans, but all those guys can crack and Negron better have himself some whiskers if he's gonna reign supreme.

do you rate afolabi too,or has he retired/reverted to chief sparring partner again?used to think he was terribly underrated,but perhaps he was always just a cinderella man...

He has some decent tools, but I think he's too slow and awkward to ever be "great".

lateef kayode is another heavy hitter, he's still in the prospect stages of his career but from what ive seen the guy has got cinder blocks at the end of his wrists.

Chakhkiev is the future of CW =P

Why would anyone want to be the future of Cruiserweight? Fight at Heavyweight you'll never get any recognition at cruiserweight.

Luscious Lopez · 10-20-2011, 04:33 PM

maybe negron should boil back down to cw.money ain't so good,but they don't punch as hard either...!

Lacyace · 10-20-2011, 04:55 PM

Just watched the Negron/Mendoza fight and wowzers...

Yea, Negron should probably move back down to cruiserweight.

Agreed....but then again, I'll admit that once upon a time I thought Alexeev was as well.
