Cruiserweight and Heavyweight thread.

Congratulations to the Champ Wladimir Klitschko becoming a dad for the first time.

It's back on! Botha wins easy, he's shot himself but has more left in the tank than Danny.

 

Yeah, huge step up in class for Huey!!!!

I wonder if this is his teams attempt to make him a star. A win of htis calibre would catapult him into the top 20 for certain.:think

 

He shouldn't be rushed... The occasional step up like this is good for experience, but I think he should float around at the domestic/european level for 2-3 more years before stepping in with world class heavies.

 

Beating someone like Rudenko would prove he's ready for the rest fo the B level HWs.

Of course, Browne couldnt keep Rudenko off him with his size, so I doubt Huey will. He'll have to have that long jab pumping all night and hope to catch Rudenko at the end of his R hand too.

Good fight this. Just hope Huey has the tools to deal with a solid pressure fighter like Rudenko.

If he does......I would say yeah....couple easy-ish domestic/euro level fights vs the likes of Bahtov, Audley, Sosnowski. Guys with a decent profile to keep Huey relevant and moving N in the ranking while honing his weapons to make a move on the elites. :think

I like Huey, but I think Im a Tyson fan first and foremost, but if Huey can make the type of moves Tyson made, but at an earlier age, you gotta like his chances of being a more dominant titlist in the long term.:think

 

German prospect Tom Schwartz (only 20) will fight Bosnian veteran Buharalija this weekend.
