    A couple of results from the last week
    Now Cruiser Mike Perez moved to 26-3-2 with KO6 over Jose Ulrich (17-4). Ulrich started his career 17-0 and this was his 5th loss in a row

    Former Wilder victim 40 year old Johann Duhaupas moves to 39-6 with a KO2 over journeyman Adras Csomor (18-32-2)

    Nicolas Wamba goes to 8-0 3 KOs with a W10 UD over Karim Berredjem (10-7 3 KOs) to win the French heavyweight title. I only mention this because after some research it looks like Wamba is the son of former 90s cruiser champion Anaclet Wamba

    Rename Cruiserweight "Junior Heavyweight". It makes more sense as a name, because it's the division just below Heavyweight, like how the division below Middleweight is "Junior Middleweight".

    Wasn't it originally junior heavyweight by the WBA?

    Takam is just becoming a punching bag for prospects now, eventually there is going to become a time where he doesn't put up a fight in these matches. Still.... He did well enough against Joyce to not totally overlook here. Yoka is pretty fragile himself, and if Takam is still up for it.... an upset could definitely occur.

    It's not benificial to the career of Michael Hunter to fight an opponent as soft as Marc De Mori, nor does Fedosov benefit from beating Wright.

    Nice to see there will be heavyweights on Fite TV, but it would be better if there were meaningful matchups, like Fedosov vs Chaney for example.

    Didn't De Mori sneak into one of the sanctioning bodies top ten? Regardless you're right this does nothing for him
