Ivan Yermolenko looks a good, skllled HW prospect for just 20 years old..

 

Wish it was a better opponent, but of Labinot is involved, its going to be wild!

On the Ortiz vs Lubin undercard, you have Joshua Edwards fighting. Also Robin Safar (the guy who beat Kovalev last year) against someone named Derick Miller Jr., who is 18 and 0.

Of course. I'd love to see him fight a guy who stopped him twice and arguably won every round between them.

 

Still no indication Gassiev-Puelv is official, thought the WBA have said that Pulev just needs to sing some forms. But in this sport...

 

As we all know, even if it goes ahead, a controversial draw demanding a rematch, is at least 50% possibility.

Basir Abakarov beat Denis Gubarev over 6 rounds.

Gubarev made it into a fight and I thought roughed up Abakarov.

 

Labinot Xhoxhaj's fight is now listed as TBA on boxrec. hopefully, they are getting him someone a little better.

 

Gilberto Ramirez will return on January 16th. It will be a tune up before an unification bout later next year.

 

Bruce Seldon Jr. went the distance for the second time in his pro career (now 8-0 with six kayos) and on the same card Otto Wallin scored a TKO2 against morbidly obese former middleweight Chris Thomas on a fluke leg injury.

A bit surprised Franklin has taken the fight.

I really hope Franklin actually trains for it and his head is in it as well, because he is a tough and durable fighter.

I’m not sure what version of Franklin will turn up but if its the best version of Franklin, then I’ll go Itauma points on a shutout. You could probably say he is a step below Whyte if we’re being honest. And he is just not the type of fighter that will ask questions of Itauma’s chin and stamina, etc.
