Arslanbek Makhmudov

Bakole would have put him down as well, a younger and better version that is.

 

Didn't Dychko get knocked out in the amateurs?

That's a MAJOR red flag for a fighter's chin.

 

No, I hate boxers who get hyped without having done much.

 

I don't hype Davis.

 

Well we have seen enough to pretty much agree he has power. He might be the games hardest hitter, but skills is another issue. They are fair. He is below par here on a top ten benchmark, but then again so boxing's top ten. The top ten today is very top heavy and we really don't have a gauge on them either.

He chin is okay, based on the pros and the word series of boxing fights. I guess we will have to wait and see until he steps up. He has rare power, fair boxing skills, an above average to good chin. That uppercut of his is amazing and he when he hits journeyman boom they go right down unable to clinch or recover. That's rare.

 

Makhmudov vs Bakole is a matchup that makes sense both ways.

2 big avoided names, big risk low reward type of opponents.

The winner can get very well positioned.

Wallin, Browne, Kossobutzky are also names that should be in discussion for Big Mak

 

Some of his limitations have been exposed by two journeyman/gatekeepers: tall mover Rice and lumbering iron chinned behemoth Wach. He was also badly hurt and almost stopped in the first round against Nistor and got blasted out at the start of the 2nd by Omarov.

But he's a mountain of a man, very strong, has good determination and killer instinct, solid amateur pedigree (beat Majidov at 22 and KO'd Nistor in 5) and of course carries bone-crushing power, on a different level to Ajagba without question.

 

LOL, aged like a fine milk

 

Lol, I was wrong I said he was another Ajagba, he isn't even as good as Ajagba. To be fair though Ajagba has improved since I made my initial post. But yeah never believed the hype, too many just seeing the KO's over nobodies and not actually analysing a fighters actual skills and look at what he doesn't do or can't do. He could have Shavers, Foreman type power but it doesn't matter if he can't actually box.

 

I personally believe there are quite a few journeyman with that kind of "atg" power but they're just no good and can't deliver it

 

At heavyweight yeah, plenty of guys can hit hard but don't have the delivery system. But I question how hard Makhmudov actually hits, he clearly has power but I wouldn't put it up there with Joshua, Zhang, Wilder or Bakole. He never had Vianello hurt, couldn't stop Takam who plenty of fighters have stopped.

 

Makhmudov is next Kudryashow.

He Reach his limit already. That's pretty sad but plan to beat him is really really simple and probably many boxer will use it in future.
1. Dont get hit by his 2 massive punches
2. When he throw and miss just go forward and punch him with 4-5 punch. He will take all.
3. Clinch.
Repeat until he gave up or reffery stop fight.

Dude like Dimitry got no defence. Zero. This 2 show us perfectly that offense even on high level is not enough in boxing.
U must see opponent attack and defend Yourself.
On higher level going forward and took everything always end bad.
Even if Your name is Joe Joyce...
