Arslanbek Makhmudov vs Pavel Sour : July 23 in mexico

Povetkin was with worldwide proven background as AM KB and boxing superstar and he had very good promoter.
Also he together with Huck turned more popular after their fight. Prime vs prime fighters at HW.
Next big step: title fight in Russia vs Wlad.

In over all boxers origin looks that matters damn a lot, better if boxer is from U.S, U.K, Mexico or at least with irish origin etc.
EE boxers are looked like next step up fights, if something fails in business, then yeah, then there problems in big entertainment business happens.

 

i will catch this
this guy is real good
sparks joshua and wilder

 

Fa is now fat and slow.

 

Povetkin was olympic gold medalist + has some people behind him, even with that he's career is not what it could be with his potential and he has 0 fights in USA(tried 2 times and realize it's impossible)
Beterbiev 36yo, we all know his amateur career, his potential in profi and we all know his problems with making fights for him.But 4 fights for belts in USA for (one of the best) russian at the end is not so bad.
Tszyu changed his nationality to Australlian.
Gassiev won the title against russian in Russia, than he had 1 title defense in USA.Now he said he will be fighting in Russia.
Bivol was given the chance with his russian promoter Ryabinski, now he's working with Hearn and from what i saw in his last fights, soon he will be robbed.
With Kovalev everything was ok till the end of his career, when he was robbed 2 times, the 2nd with that testicle KO was disgusting.Someone in USA did't want him to be remembered like one of the greatest he would be if the 1st fight with Ward would end with his win, not that robbery.
Yes, the problem is that Makhmudov is from Russia.

 

This is one advantage the UFC has on boxing for badass dudes that don't have money and connections, they move them up quickly.

 

He is, doesn't mean he can't take guys deep though.

 

....and take 90% of their money for the privelege.

 

They take a big slice but it's all laid on: the date, venue, officials, promotion, card... Mak should maybe consider a switch and learn some grappling.

 

Dajweko or Rudenko would be good fights to give him some rounds, Wach or Hammer would be a nice, small step-up fight afterwards.

 

Boxing promotors do the same too, but not even Don King took 90% of his fighters' money.

 

Eh, Hearn will pay you 10% if you're lucky and that includes the rematch.

 

This guy is going to waste.

 

I read scene this morning. Looking at the canceled fights, pointless mismatches with HW prospects and wondered why I bother following this sport.
