Cruiserweight and Heavyweight thread.

From that poster it looks like Ibeabuchi is playing Sonny Liston in some biopic

 

Yeah that was my first thought as well.

 

Hunter won by brutal KO
Still a class above even at this stage.

 

Was he in shape?

Looked soft, but very mean from the first bell.

Best I’ve seen him perform in a while.

 

Terrell Jamal Woods snapped a 3 year losing streak and stopped 7-18-1 Juan Reyna. Fun fact, all now 19 losses of Reyna have been by stoppage. Woods improves to 30-64-10 with 22 KOs and 1 NC. This was his 105th fight.

 

Man **** Hunter. All of his fights against live opponents fall through nowadays and he's posting him dusting off some binman on his Instagram like it means something.

 

The problem with people like Hunter is that he only likes fighting part timers, and doesn’t want a challenge.

Very sad actually. He’d prove himself more in losses against good fighters than wins against part timers.

 

Hunter achieved his best in the late 2010s. He's a joke nowadays. Fighting part timers and losing non sanctioned fights. He must know his best is well behind him and trying to line up a big payday or two before bowing out.

 

He's one of those HWs that I basically just want to see get picked up as a B Side, or presented in one last cash out, and get knocked out and be done with. There's a whole selection of past-prime inactive heavyweights basically clogging up the division ... messing around but not going away. A handful of former drug cheats like Miller in there too. Pulev/Ortiz, Charr is actually ranked 15 (I think). Ruiz, Whyte, Wilder and Zhang are on the edge of it. Anderson and Jalolov are hanging around on name recognition. T Fury is their king.

 

According to this article, Sonny Conto was shot last month and is in police custody. I won't say much more, since article has more information. Sonny looks like crap in his mugshot.

Is there one single active hw, aside from novices fighting bums?

 

The oldest hw, Luis Ortiz is fighting bums. Though he's so old he may have somehow reversed back to being a novice.
