    Martin Bakole Ilunga/Ytalo Perea on 2nd August. Good matchup. The battle of styles. I pick Perea due to his experience.

    You're all over the map on Jalolov. Yes, he can counter with fast punches like you say. Then you say he's not the fastest of heavyweight.

    Jalolov has towering size, very strong and mobile legs and packs TNT in his left hand. His hand speed if good. His problem as a younger man was standing his ground vs adversity. He he gets over that, he's a A grade contender.

    Shrvadzutskiy is a fair boxer. Nothing special. He's 300 pounds and 29 year old at his debut. Neither are good numbers.

    He has a bad defense also and predictable offense. Shevadzutskiy isn't future top 10 contender, I'm pretty sure about it.

    I mentioned that he tries to counter his opponent with fast, precise punches, read again!
    I mostly agree on Jololov but he have to work on speed of his movement more.

    I think you are completely wrong on Shevradutskiy. Besides, he will most likely loose weight, he was out of the ring for some time before his pro debut.

    He could be bag of tricks but he is worth to keep an eye on. I'm not saying Shevadzitskiy will be a contender but he can bring upsets. It's visible that guy have power and he have rather fast feet.

    “I want the rematch to be in Mexico or New York again, Vegas or here at the Staples Center [in Los Angeles],” said Ruiz to TMZ in discussing which venue he wants for the Joshua rematch. “It doesn’t matter [if Joshua disagrees with his choice of venue], because I’m the A-side, calling the shots. We’re the A-side. It’s my time. New York, Madison Square Garden,” said Ruiz Jr. in saying where the rematch with Joshua will take place. “No UK.

    Agree, Jalolov has immense potential. Looking forward to seeing him focus totally on his pro career after the next year or two when he’s done fooling around in the amateurs.

    Shevadzitzky is the future though, no doubt about. He joins Ruiz, Kownacki, and Rozanski as the four zeppelins of the Heavyweight apocalypse.

    Some boxing fans believe the real reason Hearn has been delaying the announcement of the Joshua-Ruiz Jr. rematch venue is to keep the attention, such as it is, on the upcoming Matchroom Boxing card headlined by Dillian Whyte vs. Oscar Rivas on July 20 on Sky Box Office at the O2 Arena in London, England. There’s talk of poor ticket sales for that fight.

    The announcement of the Joshua vs. Ruiz Jr. rematch venue would likely further hurt ticket sales for the Whyte-Rivas fight. Top Rank Boxing promoter Bob Arum mentioned last week that Hearn still hasn’t announced the Vasiliy Lomachenko vs. Luke Campbell fight. It’s believed that Hearn doesn’t want to make an announcement on that right now in order not to hurt the Whyte-Rivas ticket sales.

    Rivas reflects that fight Ruiz was no easy task, even in the amateurs.

    "I really had a tough fight against him. It's a fight I won thanks to my speed and my experience as an amateur, but also you could say that fighting him was my ticket to the Olympics, and a chance to fight the best heavy weights in the world," Rivas said to Sky Sports.

    "It was not an easy fight because Ruiz is taller than me. He has really fast hands. He is difficult to box. But I am really proud to have beaten him fair and square. I'm most proud because I fought southpaw. I saw that Ruiz was knocking everybody out so, as a strategy, I decided to go southpaw for this fight. You need to keep your distance because he throws lots of punches. You need to move a lot, do not stand as a static target in front of him."

    Ruiz is the new kid of the block, when it comes to the elite level of the division, after he shocked the world last month by stopping Anthony Joshua in seven rounds. He dropped Joshua four times.

    "Joshua was a bit overconfident during his fight with Ruiz. You could say that Andy did a good job while everyone thought that he wasn't capable of winning against Joshua but in the end, it was there for everyone to see," Rivas said.

    "Eleven years after our amateur fight, I'd like to face Andy Ruiz in a professional ring. A professional fight changes everything because an amateur fight is just three rounds, while a professional one is 12 rounds. You can never tell what's going to happen when you get into the ring with someone. It's best just to get in the ring and give it your best shot."

    Ivan Dychko scored a great one punch knockout of Nate Heaven in the second round. Time to find someone durable for him, he hasn’t gone past the third round yet. I think he’d probably be just fine being moved at the same pace as Hrgović or Ajagba but for some reason he hasn’t found the backing to afford those kind of opponents.

    Jalolov has been a pro for since May 2018. Check out his stuff on you tube. He's serious and moved to Brooklyn New York to focus on boxing.

    Yes he did. Dychko has improved a bit and looked good. This was his best performance that showed his all-around potential.

    Dychko moves well and steps back quickly, a bit like how Vitali Klitschko used to to make his opponent miss. Not fast, or slow Dychko is accurate on the counter, and mixes in his punches well. I'm still not sure how hard he hits. I'd describe him as a solid hitter, and combinations boxer, not a big one or two punch guy. We shall see as he moves up in class, which based on this performance should be soon.

    One area I think Dychko shines in, and it's underrated in boxing is his Ring IQ / Ring Generalship.

    Round one of the fight:

    He needs some rounds and needs to be on TV. Sucks seeing him reduced to fighting glass jawed stiffs in dark matches. Also 3-4 more fights at least before the years end. He went a year without fighting before Austin. Injury? Promotional issues? Idk but definitely not a good look.
