Vianello will stop Makhmudov

I've been saying Makhmudov is garbage for a very long time, but congrats to Vianello, and I hope he gets a rematch with Efe.

 

Been saying it for a while now

Makhmudov is unteachable

Same mistakes happening for years

Ironic thing is that if he fought someone like Wilder a few years ago he would have flatlined Deontay and got some momentum behind him before getting majorly unstuck

...but he just never got any momentum at all. Such a shame, I am a big fan but also a realist too.

 

As I said in my initial post not shocked by this at all.

He's always been as crude as hell, his footwork is terrible, wide stance, always planted, flat footed, no agility at all, any movement and he's hopelessly out of position.

He has no jab, literally none at all, just paws at it, which is why he fights like a guy 6 inches shorter than he is, always trying to get in close but he's too big to try and come under by dipping and rolling which is why he was eating uppercuts from round 1.

He has no head movement and his defence sucks. He has an open guard so he doesn't block shots, he doesn't move his head either and with 2 lead feet this means he literally has no defence. His offence is his defence and if he can't intimidate his opponent into a defensive posture then he's just a sitting duck waiting to be hit. People talk about Joyce's defence, Makhmudovs is worse, like Kownacki levels of bad. My god all that twitching he does is wasted, do that in exchanges and he's be 50% harder to hit lol because that's the only time he moves his head.

He's very predictable in his offence. He is literally just spamming the right hand and he has no inside game he just throws the right hand or a pathetic jab and then just falls in to a clinch. If he doesn't catching you coming in he isn't catching you at all. He simply did the same thing over and over, even after the doctor warned he could stop it soon he couldn't change it up, just repeated what he had done before because he has nothing else in his tool box.

He's likely the biggest hype job we've seen recently with the exception of Yoka. He was never any good and I've been saying that since the start, surprised how good Vianello looked, he was sloppy at times vs Ajagba, but he levelled up here.

 

He reminds me of watching Jimmy Thunder from Down Under on Tuesday Night fights.

 

Let's see Vianello fight Wallin

 

Vianello has serious power and is an explosive fighter with very good footwork...

 

Agreed, Thunder was crude but he moved his head, his attacks were limited but he did more than spam the right hand, his footwark was dubious as he could be off balance and cross his feet but he wasn't a total flat footed plodder like Makhmudov. All Makhmudov has is size.

 

I wasn't really impressed by his power, he landed flush shots over and over again, I don't think he's banger. In the last rounds Makhmudov couldn't really see shots coming and Vianello was loading up and landing with his full power and Makhmudov kept taking them. I see Vianello as more of an accumalative puncher.

His footwork was good but he was basically up against a statue. This win might throw him in into some interesting fights, he seems to have improved after losing to Ajagba.

 

Do you have any stock picks? Who's going to win the World Series? Super Bowl?

 

Great matchup Vianello vs Wallin.

Time for Joyce vs Big Makh as well

 

That was a very thorough analysis of Makhmudov. Spot on, 100% accurate. He seems to have no skills and is apparently trained an managed by a couple of morons.

 

Jimmy Thunder was huge in Australia very early on in his career. When I say huge, he was one of the most famous faces in sport and entertainment combined, I guess you had to be there at the time. Which I was. I would say, that the Thunder hype train in that 16 month period from his pro debut through to his loss to Mike 'The Bounty' Hunter was only rivalled by Jeff Fenech back in those days. Especially in Melbourne.

 

I thought Makhmudov showed a lot of heart though. That eye was very bad, agreed he doesn't show much in the way of skill.

 

It might have been just the few fights I saw of his on Tuesday night fights, but I just remember him throwing those flailing left and unorthodox right hooks in bunches without setting them up---much like our friend Makhmudov. Again, he could be better than I remembered, but then again...
