Cruiserweight and Heavyweight thread.

I reckon a tuned up Hughie would be good prep for Itauma. Maybe not a fan friendly fight but perhaps a fight he would need to formulate some strategy to gain the momentum.

 

Its the ideal fight for Itauma's development imo, a spoiler, frustrating kind of fight who isn't an old man. Might be a bit of a risk though if he makes Itauma look bad, would dampen the hype train a bit.

 

Michael Webster was stopped in each of his past two fights, and has lost 3 of his past 4. He's rated #354 at heavyweight by BoxRec.

 

Shock Hughie is fighting him then!

Oh my dear lord, no.

 

I'd like to see Danier give Luiz Ortiz a cash out fight, and head towards a rematch with Torrez who could try to get past Andy Ruiz.

That's what I'd advocate anyway.

 

I see Knyba beat Dawejko.

He seems to have some upside. He's a huge 6'7" with am 86" reach, and despite a limited amateur career, he uses it well, jabbing and moving. He has fast hands, good stamina, and he and he seems to have power when he wants to turn it on.

Buuuuut...he spends so much time throwing pitty-patt bull**** in there. You get the feeling someone is going to give him the baptism by fire, and then we'll see what he's made of.

I'll add him to Dronov and Xhoxhaj (who is not skilled, but super tough and fun) as unhearalded guys I follow.

According to the article, the plan for the next is year for Usyk to defend his title against the winner of Parker-Wardley (obviously it will be Fabio). And later on face Kabayel in Germany. I prefer latter option first.

 

I don't care which happens first, long as Usyk fights two dudes he didn't already fight in one year, I'm down!
