He may be overrated by some, but its hard not to like an exciting iron-chinned, power puncher who gives fan's value for the dollar and is working hard to get a title shot. A fair assessment on Ding right now is that he is one of the cruiserweight elite who is a legitimate threat to everybody out there...bottom line
Yeah; I ran into Thomas in the store they had set up; hadn't seen the man for like a year at least and we still recognized each other right off the bat. So me and the guys (Thomas, Will, Andre, Demond, James, and Marlon) got to catching up and everything, good to see all of them. Thomas tore his bicep though; he lost in his second fight, but it was kind of bull****.
BTW, I woulda been fighting Adamek on Oct 6 at the garden if he and/or his team didn't ***** out. I know some of you on here can't accept it but it's a fact. Don King really did like the fight and tried to make it happen, but I'm really dissapointed in team Adamek. My promter has worked really hard to get this fight approved by a paticular santioning body as an eliminator. They are still working on it, but it seems as if Team Adamek doesn't feel that I'm just a club fighter like some of you insist.:deal Right now I believe that King is trying to force the fight now, but it would be at a later date. If they don't get it made within the next few weeks, I may by fighting an opponent on oct 6 just to stay busy. I dont want that ****, I want the guys that people think are the best (Ring mag top 10).
Ding is killer at cruiserweight. Nwodo would have KO'd nearly any other cruiser on the night he fought Ding. He has found himself and has turned his career around from the days of his draws with Ludwamba (spelling) and G. Jones. He is for real. I've cashed in on his last 4 wins when he began his roll as a 4-1 underdog to Daniel Judah. I'm not ass kissing, it's what I really think about the guy. Chin, punch, and deceiving reflexes. He deserves the best fights he can get. And the fans will certainly enjoy them.:smoke
What bull. 19 kos in 22 wins! On paper and on tape his power is gruesome. He is coming off 4 wins over players. Kevlin Davis is a former champ. Brown, in most peoples eyes beat Bell, a lineal champ. Judah only had one loss and Nwodo was BRUTALISED! For his first 26 fights it is clear as day he wasn't what he is today. He got 5 loss and 3 draws out of those bouts. He has gone old school and reeled off 4 brutal wins over good comp. No one here has said he is going to beat Mormeck, Haye etc BUT he is a top contender will the always dangerous punch.
I have criticism of Ding: he hits too hard for his own good. True he just about decapitates opponents when he lands a flush punch but he also puts so much leverage into his punches and throws himself off balance if he misses.
Since after the Dawson fight. His contract was bought out by a Swiss/Polish company for $700,000. He was at Adamek's last fight(probably still has some rights)but i think he was there for Golota.
Ah, I see. I just remember the Briggs fight; and there was King, looking ridiculous, waving his flags around.
