Mbilli should beat Sulecki in the early to mid rounds if Pacheco could. Makhmudov is a mid gatekeeper at best with pretty good power but below average boxing ability, he also seems quite chinny, has no defence and lacks durability. Don't know much about this undefeated Ricardo Brown guy but he doesn't seem anything special - I assume a fairly early Makhmudov KO too.
I had hopes Arslanbek could be a force in the division because when he fights there's going to be action. But from the 1st time I saw him till the last he never improved one bit. A crude clubber with, sub par boxing skills and questionable conditioning. Happens sometimes with guys who possess power but never hone their skills.
Does Makhmudov have a glass jaw? I thought he was stopped due to a grotesque injury to his face vs Vianello and Kabayel just beat his body until he couldn't stand anymore Fun guy to watch but limited areas.
It would not surprise me if Brown wins by KO. Makhmudov is getting old, too old to improve. Brown has power, and he’s bigger at 6’7.5’’. And he’s undefeated, albeit against poor opposition.
