    The absurd new WBA heavyweight rankings.

    Look at Christopher Lovejoy's opposition:

    http://boxrec.com/en/boxer/746640

    How does he qualify for a top 15 ranking? The only boxer he ever defeated who has a winning record was well into his 40s. All the others had abysmal losing records or were in their pro debuts.

    His past 5 opponents had records of 4-27, 4-23-2, 0-1 , 0-9, and 0-7.

    Apti Davtaev back on September 5 card. He willl face Evegeny Orlov.

    A fearsome puncher, Davtaev was last seen demolishing Kentucky’s Cory Phelps in two quick rounds.

    “At 6’ 6” and 250 lbs., Apti has the size, strength and skills to be a real threat in the heavyweight division,” said his promoter, Dmitriy Salita. “On September 5, he is going to take another step towards his goal of becoming heavyweight champion.”

    I really do hope this Charr / Oquendo fight finally goes ahead. It's been literally years of messing around, following on from a decade of broader messing around. There's no other way to move Oquendo out of these rankings apparently.

    Still a mystery to me how a 45 year old out the ring 4 years is an opponent for Charr or anyone not called Fury.

    sadly, Lovejoy is probably better than BJ Flores.

    Maybe. It's ridiculous that they have Flores in the top 15 rankings.

    Change of an opponent for hard hitting heavyweight Apti Davtaev. He will now face tough journeyman German Skobenko.

    Gabriel Richards, Whateley, Bepo Filipi, Erik Pfeifer, Ilya Rudenko all will turn pro very soon, 5 amateurs turning pro in such short period is a record for this period of the year.

    P.S. Yamil Peralta turned pro recently and won via impressive stoppage.

    Sergey Kuzmin will return on the Joshua vs Povetkin undercard against the highly respected TBA.

    TBA is not highly respected. In fact, I have noticed that he loses a lot more than he wins.

    Yesterday there was a stream in facebook of Pulev vs Fury press conference. In 2 words Huighie said he is the future, but Kubrat said he is doing everythign to bring title to Bulgaria( his coach said so). Ticklets will be as less as 10 euro so everyone can afford to watch the match. Press has asked about the split with Saurland and he explained that they were thinking only about money. Now he is Ivajlo Gotzev from Epic Sport( Ex promoter of Samuel Peter). Soon he will travel to Germany where he will continue his preparation with sparrings.
