Well Makh did beat Takam so I guess I favour Makh, but really there's not much between them, both big guys with no jabs, who really just had big right hands and were only really effective against stationary targets who they could over power.
I honestly dont know anymore. Lol Makhmudov going down so easily was a real eye opener, to body shots aswell, he was throwing wild hayemakers, whilst kabayel was destroying his gut, zero defence or boxing IQ, He looked quite tough in the WSB. Price was beaten by worse fighters than Kabayel. And his gastank and durability would drain after almost one punch, after that it was all over, he turned into a complete victim, he froze and turned his back and sometimes bent over. But he also dropped and rocked tough fighters like Thompson and Povetkin. Makhmudov needs to seriously sort his training out and sparring i think, there might still be a fighter in there, may still bring some entertaining KO's. A top 20 fighter, never going to be a title challenger. Prices' mentality had alot to do with his hilarious losses, and once it was exposed there was no way back, something that couldnt be cured. Ill say Makhmudov would win based on him actually throwing shots, even when he was getting mauled. And probably as prices gas tank was completely empty by round 4.
Makmudov is a front runner but Price was knocked out by fighters like Teper and Hammer who aren’t even known for their power.
