The Jared Anderson vs Rudenko card is decent but Jalalovs opponent is very disappointing

Yikes. Dude turned pro in 2010 but only has 22 fights.

Looks like Ali Walsh is fighting his usual level of opponent as well.

 

He'll lose to one of them soon enough.

 

This is his first fight under Top Rank correct? If so I imagine the thinking is this is strictly a showcase fight for Jalalov and after he wins the ESPN crew can do what they do, endless circle jerk each other over Jalalov's "greatness" and in turn hype him up for a future card against a more legitimate opponent.

 

Onoriode Ehwarieme is something similar to Raphael Akpejiori, strong but lacks quality, Jalolov will finish him early by brutal KO or TKO.

 

This guy got zero chin.

I would wonder if he survives more than one round against Jalolov

The TopRank Story has started, next they gonna give him former world champion Christopher Lovejoy

 

I don't see an issue with Rudenko as an opponent as long as Anderson fights the winner of the Co main event next.

 

Rice is a good test for Jalolov as of now

 

Zhan Kossobutskiy vs Efe Ajagba is the only fight worth mentioning.

 

Or Michael Coffee

 

I don't get why Anderson vs Zhan wasn't made the main event. Instead, Zhan's actually in a tougher test on the undercard than VP in the main event. If they're going to let the fight simmer or whatever then at least have VP fight someone on the same sort of level as Ajagba, like an Otto Wallin or Franklin Lawrence type of guy. Or if that wasn't possible then fight Ajagba himself and have Rudenko on the undercard.

 

I agree

 

They won't Kossobutskiy to lose against more popular and weaker Ajagba and then feed and rob Ajagba next year to Anderson

But plan won't work cuz Zhan gonna f*kin KO Efe

 

Anderson just had a tough fight and needs a "get better" type of opponent. Note that this will be Anderson's 5th fight in 12 months, an insane workrate by today's standards. Not every fight is going to be a challenge when you are that busy.
