Arslanbek Makhmudov vs Pavel Sour : July 23 in mexico

As long as he's fighting somebody, I believe he's gonna have a hard time getting any fighters of note to get in the ring with him. But he had better step on the gas career wise. There was no reason at all for him to be as inactive as he has been

 

Exactly, especially as he's signed with Golden Boy and they've done virtually nothing with him.

Arslanbek should just learn some English and start trash talking and calling out big names. He could flatten Wilder with a single punch and Fury would be terrified to engage all night too.

This Caucus "warrior code silence" is stupid as it doesn't pay the bills.

 

Frustrating to see the most promising HW "prospect" fighting leftovers of Jermaine Franklin and Hughie Fury lol.

 

Maybe he could call out Junior Fa, after Fa schooled him in the WSB.

 

The problem for him is that he is from Russia.

 

1st round stoppage

 

thankfully his Canadian promoters had kept co promotional rights and a clause to get out of that deal witch they have now gotten him out of so no more golden boy.

Was stupid move in the first place he would be much better off at dazn or top rank.

If Hearn can get Allan babic hyped up imagine what he could do with an actual legit contender like makhmudov.

 

Exactly. Babic is just a novelty act whereas Arslanbek is one serious murderous puncher who can ruin the money wagon for all the top guys.

 

Nah, Makhmudov will win no doubt, but Fa can spoil like he did with Parker and make it a frustrating night for Makhmudov, similar to what Rice did. Would give Makhmjdov some valuable rounds too.

 

i cant see it going the distance

 

Didn't seem to prevent Povetkin from carving out a pretty respectable career and earning millions.

There have been plenty of successful Russian boxers Tzyu, Kovalev, Beterbiev, Bivol, Gassiev etc.

True it's harder for them to get some opportunities but if the talent is there people will take notice eventually.

 

Again, never said it would, but he wouldn't get blown out early as you suggested.

 

Hughie Fury leftovers are on show, he needs to step the level of his opponents up

 

I'd like to see him fight Wilder. There's more chance of Wilder becoming UN Secretary General than this fight coming to pass. But I'd still like to see it all the same.

Surely being a former world champion for so many years this would be a good comeback fight for Wilder to get his confidence back after a loss to Fury.
