He can get good sparring but he can't get good fights. Shame.... Talent is going to waste. Easily a top 5 HW prospect.
Step down from Johnson and Pianeta though. Hell, maybe even Csomor. Dudes record is padded to hell and he was stopped by the only other undefeated fight he's stepped in with and only has 2 wins against opponents with winning records) which were still bad at 10-7 and 9-6. That said Milas is still doing decent work for an obscure prospect.
Former heavyweight Patrice L'Heureux has died of a heart attack at age 46. I remember him as one of Alexander Povetkin's early opponents. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrice_L'Heureux
Same. RIP. Won the Canadian title which in recent years has had some good tear ups. Wonder if he was in any?
Hope Lebedev comes into this one in better shape. Still holding out hope that one of the greatest of the division has another big fight/great performance left in him.
We'll see. If he does well enough in sparring, his manager will get him better fights. Dychko is being moved slowly for a reason.
Szpilka vs Wach - November 10 in Poland. I have a strange feeling that Wach will edge this. No matter how he looked in his previous fights. Szpilka is just a football hooligan.
Yep - it's getting towards the now or never time. I live a fairly short flight from the Chinese north east coast. It'd be great if boxing expanded its following there and they had a significant fight in Shanghai or the like at some stage.
Against Wilder, Szpilka was ahead or 50/50 on points before the KO in the 9th.Looked very dangerous for the legend of boxing - Wilder.My opinion and opinion of many others.I think he was the last serious fight for Wilder, i mean, later the good opponents(Ortiz, and average Stiverne) take the cash for lose.BUT still i'm not sure he can take the win against Wach. P.S.I just wanted to remind how fake is the legendary status of Wilder
Btw, Plechko sparred with Zhang in USA, they were both in good shape, because this was soon before their fights(posted photo in his instagram), and from his words, was veeery good in that sparring(different words, but don't remember), even wanted to upload the video in his instagram.His heart wanted it, but his brain was telling him it's not okay : ) The brain win)) Before that info, i thinked he is not so good and wouldn't have a big chance for win against good tall amateurs, but after that, i asked myself, if he was underrated from me or i overrated Zhang...looks more like the 1st.After that fight, we will see how good is Zhang.Ustinov is a good challenge.
Ustinov looked terrible against Charr. Zhang by knockout mid rounds. Not that much of a step up really. Ustinov was a fraud from the beginning and is about done. I have a feeling Wach will edge Szpilka as well. Szpilka will probably get rocked by something. That's a more competitive fight. Some of you really need to stop judging prospects, so consistently wrong over the years.
