Makhmudov sucks enough to make victory over even someone like Fa by no means certain. Probably does stop him though.
There ya go. Not surprising. Fa could probably outbox him again, just has to go twice as long without getting chinned.
Makhmudov is actually the only "notable" heavyweight i can remember getting stopped to the body like that. I remember bert cooper and michael spinks being dropped by bodyshots but stopped and destroyed like that? Especially by a much smaller opponent at HW? Thats rare.
Makh shouldn't take this fight. Fa has been chinned yes but he has a good jab and always fights tall.
Good to read Makhmudov will be back. Sure he lost to the very underrated Kabayel, but that doesn't mean I'm giving up on him.
Mahmoudov was one of the most overhyped fighters on here in recent memory. I do think Kabayel is a legit contender though, and Fa somehow managed to get KOed by Lucas Browne. AM by KO.
