    How in the world is this fight not getting more attention???? Two big guys each with a knockout percentage around 90%, you'd think the boxing world would be salivating but hardly a mention?

    How much do they get paid?

    That'll get this fight some more attention.

    Because Cruiserweights.

    Meh, whatever. I've grown used to fickle fans ignoring this beast of a division.

    His power is insane. He's the only fighter at CW who I'd confidently claim is a bigger puncher than Gassiev, and Gassiev is a freaking wrecking ball himself.

    Trouble is his chin makes David Price jealous.

    Weirdly both Kuds and Makabu have almost identical records and stats. 24 wins and 23 KOs for Makabu with 2 losses, both by KO, vs 23 wins and 23 KOs for Kudryashov with 2 losses, both by KO. So between them only one fighter (the iron jawed Kucher) has lasted till the finish line.

    If that's not a guarantee of excitement I don't know what is.

    It's hard to predict. I lean Makabu simply because Kudryashov is really slow, but who knows in a matchup like this

    You are right about his power but is his chin really that bad? Price like? I am definitely not saying you are wrong and he'll probably get KO'd because of this post....:risas3: but take out the Dorticos fight? He was on his feet when stopped against Duradola . You are probably right but just maybe we need more proof and hopefully we don't get it this weekend :risas3:. Personally now that Usyk and Gassiev have moved up to heavyweight, he's my fav at cruiserweight . I would like to see him clean up, doubt he will but it would be good.

    I like Kudry but it feels like he's shot to pieces. Didn't look good vs. Barragan. I think Makabu has good chance to stop him.

    Well no, I was exaggerating. His chin's definitely a weak spot though, and his slowness and poor defence don't help either.

    Makabu's not got a great chin himself though, so if Kuds lands early it might end up being academic.

    I don't think he's shot but has trouble making weight.
    He should be at heavy by now. He's had his years at CW, now time to move up.

    His slow foot and hand speed plays right into the heavyweight division.

    If Kudryashov had Kucher's punch resistance he will be the real Ivan Drago, he is not the best boxer, but that power is IMO bigger than anyone in the cruiser and the heavyweight division
