Too bad this fight was not on TV Karmazin had come off the floor to stop Echols. Karmazin should try and get himself in a Eliminator for a shot at Pavlik
Karmazin is the NABF titlist right now. An eliminator is a given. That's how the WBC works. However, he's been calling out Abraham, and hardly mentions Pavlik.
Echols had so much potential. He nearly knocked BHop out in their first fight but didn't know how to finish. He had a great punch but refused to learn to box, preferring to brawl instead. Badly mismanaged in my opinion. Props to Karmazin.
Echols and McKart are both shot to ****, but even the shot versions of those two make decent opponents. Roman scored a wide UD over McKart and sparked Echols. It would seem that Karmazin is progressing nicely at 160, but he is 36 years old, so time is not on his side.
Like booradley said, Echols is shot to pieces. He's probably the most shot fighter out there. He hasn't won for like 4 years.
Espino has progressed lately and not a bit. Roman on the other hand is slowing down which is not something unusual at age 36. He needs to fight that Espino guy here and now before he will become shot himself. He really deserves another payday I guess...
Karmazin/Espino is a realistic fight. Both are in the WBC top 10. Espino is ranked higher, but Karmazin holds the NABF title, so a title eliminator between these two could happen.
