I like Belghecham. He's not a great fighter or anything, but he's a high motor guy who constantly applies pressure, along the lines of Khoren Gevor.

He's an exciting all-heart brawler with a good work rate.

He's one of the toughest wins and best names to date on the resume of Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam (and Andy Lee, and Darren Barker for that matter).

I'd really like to see the full Belghecham-Roselia fight. It's only six rounds, so it's surprising nobody's bothered to upload it since that would fit in a mere two installments on Youtube. The tale of the tape would be especially interesting to see; it looks like Affif is giving up at least five inches there. Being that he's listed at 5'9" that would put Roselia at no less than an inch over six feet - he's plainly tall for a middleweight in any event. Roselia's also not a bad fighter, which makes the older and shorter Belghecham apparently kicking his ass all the more impressive.

Here's Roselia doing quite well for the most part against common opponent Woulid Guarras (stopped by Belghecham in 10 rounds...and N'Dam N'Jikam in 5 ):

It's obvious that Roselia isn't too disciplined about always fighting tall, which is probably his undoing in most of his losses. When he stays behind the jab he does well, though. After trading knockdowns throughout, Roselia seemed to gain the upper hand in the fifth, forcing Guarras to take a standing eight count. Roselia seemed to have him on Queer St. and out on his feet before the bizarre circumstances that got him disqualified. The referee appeared to jump in and wave it off to protect Guarras (so the fight is over, and should be a TKO5 win for Roselia) but Roselia in the heat of the moment walks up and billy-goats Guarras in the face over the ref's shoulder. The whole round is actually very strange, with some odd officiating of the clinches.

Rematches between all three of them would be nice - maybe another French middleweight grand tournoi?

Yal , is Hassan going to fight Golovkin next for the regular WBA title?

[yal]

Affif Belghecham is the official challenger for Julien Marie Sainte for the title French. They must compete before the end of the year. Julien was also very convincing, he sprayed in three rounds Sergey Melis and definitely beat Francois Bastient (former European challenger Sylvester). Without exaggeration,Marie Sainte has done better than Sylvester IBF champion ) and Pirog (WBO champion) against the same opponents.

[yal]

Hassan's team has prepared everything already. If Golovkin Hassan refuses to face in 90 days, Hassan would face Avtandil Khurtsidze October 30 in Paris for the WBA regular.

Beghecam has a big heart and a big pair of balls. I like him.

Tomorrow, Belghecham is going to fight Fitzgerland. It's undercard Casey v Rigondeaux.

Belghecham will beat Fitzgerald by ud, should be a good fight though as both Fitzgerald and Belghecham are nearly always entertaining

[willmc83]

Belghecham has every reason to be bitter, that was a dreadful stoppage
