    I can understand losing to Nery is dispiriting, but it's not the end of the world; yet Crazy A is coming up for 15 months without a fight. Anyone know anything? Promotional issues? Injury? Any drug rumours? What's the story with Azat, anyone know?

    Hes had a though career and the Nery fight was his last shot at world glory. Now he is 35 and coming off of a brutal KO.
    I think he just gave up, the loss seems to have broken him. Because before that he was gloating about his high rankings and really wanted a title shot. There was a rumored comeback fight but that fell off for whatever reason.

    Plus he is a family man who seems to have made some decent money. But I think he will be back for one more try.

    He was supposed to fight on the Munguia-Ryder fight, but his fight was called off and haven't heard anything since. Azat vs Casimero would be pretty good as a final crossroads for both.

    You're right btw, would watch.

    That African dude that arguably deserved the nod against Casimero is in action this weekend. Fillipus. The guy he's fighting is called DeKang Wang :lol: awesome. In Namibia.

    Don't really understand people having other names tbh.
