    Looks like Berrio is definitely moving up to 175lbs. I'm not sure why. He's not a big guy.

    At some point his power won't be as impressive and his chin won't improve either with the move up in weight.

    But it's still a stiff test for the young prospect.

    Excellent news. But Shumenov has the worst management in boxing (he's managing himself). How the f* can you fight Wiggins, Griffin, Mendoza and Berrio and not being televised in the US, where he supposed to live and fight most of the time?

    That's a hell of a test for a guy with his experience level.

    Also, if he comes through this unscathed, I think it's safe to say he's tested his chin. He's already faced a few big punchers.

    Pure madness! Tough is too mild a term to describe Shumenov's matchmaking!

    I am at a loss! Shumenov's management/advisers must be totally out of mind.

    People complain about having padded records, at least he is showing that he can fight the best at an early stage in his career

    I don't know. I've never seen him fight but I heard he's a little crude.

    I could see Berrio winning by ko/tko or even a decision if the judging is fair.

    I only saw him with Griffin in a bad quality video.
    He is a little crude but is fast and has good reflexes to equalise.
    Be sure the judges will help him if he needs it.

    I guess it all depends what version of Berrio shows up.

    The guy that destroyed Mack would definitely give most SMW/LHW some problems.

    Schumenov has the best progression I have ever seen ! Of course, we have to exclude fighter below 118 pounds because they sometime get a title shot after less than 10 pro fights (Nashiro).

    what about NEON LEON?


    but this is good Beibot is good for the sport he plans only to fight for another 5-7 years so it looks like he planning to stick to that goal?
