John Parker, brother of Joseph Parker debuts on Parker/Dimitrenko undercard, Oct1. John was a decent amateur apparently
"For Wlodarczyk is very necessary fight. He had to box it is with such opponents, and not with those with whom he had two previous fight. He was too big break (after the defeat of the Russians Grigory Drozd in September 2014 in a fight for the WBC title). Durodola strong and beating, it is not an interim fight, "- remarked the coach.
Imre Szello/Hamilton Ventura for the vacant WBO Inter-Continental cruiserweight title on 17 september.
The world champion of WBA Super and IBF cruiserweight champion Russian Denis Lebedev (link is external) arrived in the US, where the place of his preparation for the next battle. On December 3, he will battle Russian compatriot Murat Gassieva (link is external), which is the mandatory challenger for the IBF title. http://allboxing.ru/news/20160916-2...-ssha-gde-budet-gotovitsya-k-boyu-s-gassievym
If this happens it could become a thriller match. Gassiev is one of the hardest punchers in CW and Lebedev probably one of the most skilled, but Lebedev is 37. I give Gassiev a chance in this match. BTW : Has Drozd retired?
A pity that Szello is too old to make any noise at cruiser weight.Well,even a young version would be no Usyk clone but I guess he would be very good for Hungary's pro boxing circus. Hungary is a country where pro boxing could be big,far bigger than in most western european countries ,if they had an outstanding fighter.
