be another diablo? Its early days yet for Dmitry, but it seems he can be hit and could be outboxed by the better boxers like Hernandez, usyk, Drozd etc etc in the future. Diablo is a very tough fighter with huge power, similarities. Im just watching them both now, Dmitry is ranked 11th in the cruiserweight division after 16fights to Wlodarczyk 10th rank with 53 fights. however rankings aren't accurate as diablo has beaten some top fighters like Cunningham and chakhkiev. Very interesting, Kudrayashov will be fighting on the 10th of april on Denis Lebedev's undercard along with Chakhkiev and Manuel Charr.
I wouldn't put him in the Sergey KRUSHER Kovalev scary bracket. Kudryashov looks a bit sluggish and easy to hit beating the competition he has. Im hoping he can sharpen up for when he needs to go the later rounds.
I think he has a little more pop than Diablo, all he needs to do it get a better strength and conditioning coach and he'll be unstoppable, that is unless he has a glass jaw. But he's no Krusher.
I'm pretty sure Hernandez won't make it out of the first half of the fight against Dimi. I slightly favor Usyk and Drozd might have a shot, but I won't be surprised at all if he does them all in.
Kudrayshov is a huge puncher and looks good.. But... I think some people on here are overrating him, he's not the monster you are making him out to be..
come on man.. Usyk is elite.. Usyk dealt with a proven super heavyweight monster in Mekzhidov. 'Slightly' ?? Usyk would box his ears off. I think Usyk, Drozd,and Huck would definately beat him. Lebedev vs Kudrayshov would be a 50/50 war. Kudrayshov would KO Hernandez .
Exactly this Kudryashov does have that lumbering, thudding power that a lot of Eastern Euros have, but unlike guys like GGG and Kovalev, he doesn't have much skill, seems a bit slow, and defense and chin is still up in the air because he keeps beating guys in a round or two. Also it seems that a few of his opponents took a dive, probably paid off by the Russian mafia or something. There is NO way in hell that his fight vs Mekwaza was a legit fight [YT]d7OFNJtBq-I[/YT]
He'd be better off at heavy. His power will KO most heavies and he will have less trouble catching them. Would love to see him against Huck at crusier.
