    Didn't see this posted, Guido Vianello obliterated Moses Johnson last week. Ref missed the first knockdown (KO shot) then preceded to give Johnson every chance he could find like he was a defending heavyweight champion going out on his shield. It ended after official knockdown number 4 of round 1

    Adamek returns to the ring against Mamed Khalidov in what appears to be a 4 rounder. Boxrec isn't counting this as far as I know? Khalidov has never competed in a professional boxing ring, but he's still has 2 decades of combat sports experience under his belt and was always pretty capable on the feet. He's not spring chicken himself, but he's in extremely good shape for a 43 year old and he's been actively competing unlike the now 47 year old Adamek who hasn't fought for the better part of 6 years.

    Very tough fight for Adamek, like you said Khalidov is in great shape for 43yo. Clearly generates a lot of interest and money in Poland.

    Talking of Polish, Andrzej Fonfara is supposedly making a comeback at Heavyweight April 27th in a 8 rounder.

    kind of sad seeing some of these comes back to the ring, but I don't blame them thinking they can make decent money in this freakshow boxing era.

    According to Boxrec, Alex Lepai Jr to debut on April 3. I'll be cheering for him! Maybe down the road he can take on one of the Meehans in battle of the second generation!

    He looked really solid for a green prospect back in like 2014-2015. Solid and fluid already for HW then and he was only a teenager. a shame he didn't fully dedicate himself to boxing, may have been a player in the current landscape.
