Standing at 6"4 Hamzah Sheeraz ranked No.2 by WBC and No.1 by WBO and could be facing Janibek Alimkhanuly next the IBF and WBO champion next and will beat the sh#t out of him .. jab his head off lol Y'all heard it hear .. it's strap season real soon..
He is quality for sure. His jab is solid. Very powerful. He's got good range, good skills and good power. The weakness is his recklessness and questionable defense. He got knocked down against Torres, but it looked like a flash knockdown. Sheeraz has a tendency to loop his punches sometimes and that's where Janibek will find his openings. It's a great matchup though. Just may be the best fight at 160.
Hamzah has sparred Janibek and I've heard got the better of him .. anyway won't read too much into that .. Ricky Funez got Hamzah working on the fundamentals..strong jab and technique correction.. I know people in Hamzah's camp and he is incredibly dedicated to the sport .. lives it .. always in the gym even on holiday, it will all pay off..
The level of opposition he’s come up against since his “win” over Skeete has been incredibly underwhelming. Think someone like Ammo or Eubank deals with him easily.
Looks the goods although Williams was shot to smithereens. Theres still that question mark against a skillfull fighter against him after skeete but Bradley retired rather than take the rematch so maybe he knew the writing was on the wall in that fight anyway. Believe they are pushing for eubank now let's see how he looks. Think they looked to make Bentley but super underdog heaney put paid to that. Janibek is leagues above anyone for me in that division.
Great scrap. Fundora-Mendoza vibes. I like those lanky giants who don't Valuev the fight, but go full Sandy Saddler.
He looks impressive from what little I have seen. It's good to see a tall fighter actually know how to fight tall and not simply use there size to bully smaller men and in doing so give up their height and reach like Callum Smith and Josh Taylor. But we need to see him vs better opposition. Also I didn't see the Skeete fight but from reports he was very lucky not to be disqualified and struggled badly in this fight. So we shouldn't crown him king just yet, he's still very unproven.
He definitely needs to prove at the top level now.. I think he got the goods, his next 2 fights will show us alot hopefully Ammo Williams in the 5v5 in Saudi in June ..
