    I’m watching the Murtazaliev fight now, and while I understand that Russian names may sometimes look a bit intimidating on paper, they’re actually quite easy if you sound them out like your ****ing kindergarten teacher would’ve taught you BoMac

    Kovalevs retirement will be based on that Lawsuit. No retirement if he loses that.

    Your post is a prime example of how ridiculously Ortiz gets overrated. Who the hell did he ever beat?? Bryant Jennings? Mediocre fringe contender at best.

    Round 1: 10-9 Day
    Round 2: 10-9 Day
    Round 3: 10-9 Day
    Round 4: 10-9 Day
    Round 5: 10-9 Day
    Round 6: 10-9 Day

    Iliev very active, but Day is too slippery and too quick with the counters. Loud body shots from Day.

    I don't remember too many 'wars' he's been in? He blew everbody out early. Then when he fought 'name' fighters like an 'over the hill' Hopkins, who he hurt early, the fought safely and carried the rest of the fight. Dominated Pascal but even then in the first fight without anything noticable landing, there was a small moment or two for Pascal. He went the distance with Chilemba who can't punch but hardly a 'war'!
    Got robbed against the 'hugger' Ward, who can't really bang. Got hurt by Ward in rematch and obviously stopped last fight. Alvarez not renowned KO artist. I like Kov, hope he wins but I agree with those who say his chin is weak. I hope I am wrong.

    He's getting sued more than his career earnings.
    What's crazy is I'm pretty sure Kovalev said the Boone fight was the first time he ever even got paid

    Man, i tried to explain it toooooo so many guys out here. It isn't all about the resume or "who he has beaten"...it's about skills, power, footwork, ring iq. Ortiz is a beast. He is one of the best natural boxing talents in the division and has a superb skillset and ring iq. Of course his resume is thin but look how he blasted out opponents other "ELITE HW's" couldn't crack and touch? Ortiz is still a beast and i would pick him with some high confidence against ALL other HWs right now apart from Joshua, Wilder, Fury and maybe Povetkin (style makes fights). Ortiz was a guy who was promoted badly and also made some bad decisions his career so he ended as a guy who always had it but didn't make it. Yeah, i know that, but if you can't see the talent, the skills and the power, you're probably dumb. No offense but that's it.

    I would too, I plan on trying to find time to do it but it’s not a priority right now lol. I picked up on the alphabet fairly easily just through reading TV guides and boxing websites though lol. It’s much easier than it looks

    Round 1: 10-9 Day
    Round 2: 10-9 Day
    Round 3: 10-9 Day
    Round 4: 10-9 Day
    Round 5: 10-9 Day
    Round 6: 10-9 Day
    Round 7: 10-9 Iliev

    Day slowing down a bit and Iliev putting on the pressure backing Day up to the ropes. Big right hand for Iliev and then a short left hook. Day not as slippery as before allowing Iliev to land more. Big round for Iliev, but good final 10 seconds for Day as he clips Iliev.

    Does Bakhram originate from Club Akhmat? I’d love to one day hear the infamous Club Akhmat theme blasting on ESPN

    Round 1: 10-9 Day
    Round 2: 10-9 Day
    Round 3: 10-9 Day
    Round 4: 10-9 Day
    Round 5: 10-9 Day
    Round 6: 10-9 Day
    Round 7: 10-9 Iliev
    Round 8: 10-9 Iliev

    Day losing steam and not throwing his punches with conviction. Iliev still marching forward with the same ferocity as in previous rounds. Day still lands his counters but Iliev gaining confidence and the pressure wins him the round.
