Cruiserweight and Heavyweight thread.

Wallisch was ruined by bad management and long periods of inactivity.

After doing very well for several years and showing very good potential, he fought only once in 2015, once in 2016, and once in 2017.

Interestingly enough, after he lost by stoppage he had no problem finding fights.

 

I remember that. He had some legal troubles, I think, which led to an enforced layoff.

Yeah, it seems like fighters can get fights easier once that veneer of invulnerability has been shed. Especially if they can look the part.

 

Dear god, he''ll be killed.

 

I think he went to jail, if I am not mistaken. Could be wrong.

 

Wasn't it Tom Schwarz?

 

Anyone excited for Goulamirian/Egorov tomorrow?

 

Why was Goulamirian inactive for THREE years? And Egorov hasn't fought in nearly that long too.

 

I thought it was both but I could be wrong. Schwartz very badly and publically beat his girlfriend.

 

Hasim Rahman Jr. just embarrassed boxing and got battered and OUTBOXED by disgraced former NFL player Greg Hardy.

 

Meh, its not liek he was a top contender or anything.

 

Still. He's a real boxer who should be above losing to clowns like that.

 

Its happening more and more often

 

Usually washed up fighters. Hasim Rahman Jr is still young and active in the sport.

 

Easy to say when you ain't in there bro, being outweighed by 94 pounds by a very good athlete in a ring as small as it was would be a difficult task for most whether they are a "Real boxer" Or not.

 

Schwarz definitely served a short sentence for domestic violence and I think it was shortly after his wipeout at the hands of Tyson Fury. I'm pretty sure Wallisch's problems happened around 2016/2017, but I can't find the specific details. I believe that those legal problems were behind him by the time he faced Hammer, got stopped, and lost his 0 in 2018.
