    What would the ruling have been if he couldn’t continue there? Considering the nature of the injury and how Akpejiori did it intentionally I’m thinking they’d have ruled it a no contest since it’s the house fighter when normally it would be a TKO.

    Seems like a good kid

    Hopefully max and others dial back the overhype and not let this kid get a huge ego

    Now imagine how weak Mourad Aliev is as he failed to do in 8 rounds what Shaw did in 30 seconds

    Triple Big Nose is growing his hair back, because he got triggered by everyone calling him a bald fraud.:lol:

    He is a good looking prospect but they need to stop putting him in fight that goes a couple of rounds.

    You think he got a transplant or maybe just stopped jabbing so much testosterone? Lol

    Nothing, he just grew his hair back. He never shaved it because he was going bald. He just thought it looked badass. It's childishly either long hair or none for him.

    Agreed though hes young and moved up to heavyweight from a lower division. I can see being cautious for a little

    That was a shocking performance, I genuinely couldn't believe what I was watching. I never rated Aliev very highly, but goddamn, he was even more pathetic than I thought.:lol:

    I actually watched an interview of Vanhouter's the other day and he did seem like a nice kid. He said he's a fan of Usyk and you always love to hear that
