On the Haney vs. Abdullaev undercard, third-billed (after the Hardy vs. Serrano women's unified WBO & interim WBC featherweight titles bout). Kuzmin is rated #7 by the IBF and #5 by the WBA; Hunter is rated WBO #12, IBF #10, WBA #8, and WBC #15.
This will emphatically supplant Jason Quigley's as the most satisfying amateur hypejob's zero to see taken in 2019.
I'm going to this card and am pretty excited about it. Quality show and decent seats for cheap. Not sure what to think of Hunter as yet.
Hunter after viciously battering this overrated bald hack senseless from one side of the ring to the other, collects his bounty in 5.
Unless Kuzmin shows the form he displayed against Joyce in the amateurs ( which he hasfailed to do since turning pro) then it will be a one sided win for Hunter and I reckon stoppage in the mid rounds.
Kuzmin in an upset. big bear man finally pulls his finger out. Hunter will be boxing his head off but kuzmin will get him late.
Never been all that impressed by Kuzmin, against Price he was struggling badly and close to folding IMO before the big plumber jacked it in. Will be interesting to see if a UK bookie posts odds for this, if Hunter is anything above 1/2 to win, it's worth lumping a few quid on.
