Cruiserweight and Heavyweight thread.

Looks like Darmani Rock will be facing Carlos Negron on November 7.

 

I will watch this if available.

 

Former IBF CW champion Yoan Pablo Hernandez is making a comeback. The Cuban is moving up to HW.

Good fight. Nice step up for Rock.

 

Doubt he will do much. Hernandez sadly packs the famous Cuban glass.

 

Even Hughie Fury could actually probably win both of those fights. Peter is probably licking his chops right now.

 

Hernandez shamelessly ducked Lebedev and other fighters while active.

 

If you want to see shame and corruption, check out his loss to Braithwaite.

Povetkin to arrive in UK 7th August and hopes to get in 10 days of training with Chisora

 

He got a few gift decisions if I remember correctly.

 

Chisora fought on equal terms (arguably a slight notch higher prior to the KO) in the 20+ odd rounds he shared with Whyte. Great preparation for Sasha.

 

Can’t get much better than that. I hope the Old dog can pull off one more great performance.

 

Wouldn’t be surprised if Negron snatched his zero too, after Robert Alfonso. Especially if Rock keeps getting fatter.

 

Anyone know why he took six years off in the first place? I can't remember.

 

He had loads of problems with his knees and elbows, probably couldn’t train properly. On top of that a financial advisor of his basically put him to the cleaners, which was very discouraging as well. Hernandez worked as a trainer for a while, even coached Erkan Teper for his fight against Wach. Now he says all the physical problems are resolved.
