Alexey Yurievich Egorov vs. Brandon Benard Glanton & Artem Suslenkov vs. Wilmer Vasquez RBR.

CW is really lacking today. Not impressed with any of these guys. Egorov spoiled but he was offering little to no resistance. If Glanton was any good he would have stopped him much sooner.

 

It's definitely nowhere near the level it was when they did the wbss but Opetaia & Mikaeljan are solid fighters and very exciting to watch.

 

Opetaia is good. But he wouldn't have been able to hang with Gassiev/Usyk/Lebedev and Briedis. Even old Briedis was almost too much for him. But yeah, he's a good fighter. These other guys not so much. I don't see Opetaia having many issues with the current crop at CW. Hopefully he can unify and move up to HW sooner rather than later.

 

Yeah, prime Gassiev is too much for Opetaia.

 

In fairness Murat ain't what he used to be. The left just isn't really there for him anymore. I think the Uysk loss and injury was a another Calzaghe-Lacey.

 

Injury and inactivity definitely took something out of him yeah... I mean if he can get healthy and stay active he still has time to turn it around(he's only 30)

 

We've seen those shoulder injuries that prevent the fighter from getting the hook back. Buddy Mcguirt comes to mind as well.

I hope I am wrong because I think he has the makings of a major player at heavy if he could turn back the clock.
