Sergey Kuzmin will face Amir Mansour for the vacant WBC International Heavyweight Title.

Good fight. Really a shame that he spent his prime years in jail. Explosive heavyweight, will probably be in better shape than fat Kuzmin. Mansour wins this one.

 

Kuzmin by highlight reel UD.

 

Apparently it's a long time friend of his.

 

Like... from Cell Block D?

 

Great fight.

 

Kuzmins coming out party

 

Robert Cammerelle, Ivan Dychko, Joe Joyce, Magomed Omarov, Eric Pfeifer, Maxim Babanin.
he was a top amateur.

 

hmm surprising to me that you haven't been impressed,maybe you will be a latecomer onto the Kuzmin express train then , maybe after he beats Mansour.

I definitely think he'll be a top 10 contender AT LEAST. He has the power, skills, amateur pedigree,.. and most importantly for a heavyweight a SOLID CHIN.

I hope you aren't basing it on his physique. I really think a lot of people strangely underestimate guys like Kuzmin and Kownacki based on them not being body beautiful.Whereas guys like Ugonoh get overrated cause of their muscles. Muscles and being in perfect shape is not as important for a heavyweight as skills and amateur pedigree.

 

Kuzmin is heavy handed and is defense isn't bad. However, I did see him out boxed by Filip Hrgovic in WSB.

 

I feel like this fight will go to the distance because: First of all that is a huge step up for Kuzmin and from his corner will make sure that their fighter will be careful. Mansour is dangerous enough dropping solid chinned Breazeale and Cunningham. I can see a good UD for Kuzmin in his homeland. If he tries to brawl with Mansour, it could go bad for Kuzmin.

 

Good replacement for Browne and a solid step-up. Not sure about a big KO but Kuzmin should handle him easily enough
