    People are overreacting so badly, Meroro was just trying to survive and spoil, he wasn't doing anything but that.

    However, Kudryashov was still displaying an awful ring IQ by not being able to deal with some simple clinching.

    Kudryashov does indeed have terrifying power...And even if he's a bit one dimensional in approach, power is a pretty nice dimension to have.

    Like I said last 2 or 3 Kudryashov's fight: He's got power, but how's everything else?

    Turns out probably not to good. Looked very limited tonight, maybe he can still salvage his career if he switches camps and redesigns his game, but power is not enough

    Yeah he got held about 100+ times by a guy just looking to survive, and now he's a bum. :patsch

    just was gonna say he needs to draw his man on rather than chase him, and his best work was going backwards. then bang

    On paper the result of stopping Meroro is pretty impressive, but the reality is he looked like ass for the first four rounds. He only got to Meroro because the Namibian began to gas out and didn't have the stamina to continue to outbox him. It wasn't like Kudryashov made some incredible adjustment.

    Kudryashov needs more urgency in his work he's looks disinterested a lot of the time. I've heard he trains himself and he has said in the past that he sometimes lets fights go on longer than they should do. Meroro was awkward and he did a lot of holding and spoiling.

    Yes He needed round but winning rounds not losing rounds to a bum.

    That almost confirms my thoughts that Usyk boxes circles around Kudryashov.:deal

    Well said. MAJOR overreaction, but he definitely has a bad tendency just to look for the KO/headhunt and that was his problem tonight. If he does box, and try to set up his KO's better he's going to have a real hard time with world class operators. Hardly exposed though.
