    Good fight, Tischenko punches like a fairy so Dima could have success here.

    Kudra does punch not less hard than maybe natural 230-240 lbers while he ofc does have flaws.

    Busting up and stopping Sokolowski is a very good sign for a hyped prospect.

    He looked dodgy in his last fight before Bergman got injured so yeah, like Cassius Chaney, wait for the cash out fight.

    The only available footage to my knowledge of Cro Cop boxing. He would have been legit at CW-HW had he gone pro.

    Too disciplined and hard to be anything other than good, but you just don't know until you know. Boxing is weird. I think it's because there are so few inflection points, you can't kick, you can't takedown, there's only way to wipe-out any intrinsic advantage and that's land a bomb, and if that was in any way easy, everyone would be doing it.

    Cro Cop had a pretty extensive amateur background though, from what I heard he lost a really close fight with Liakhovich, who we know to be a good amateur as well as a good pro. it's not as if he steered clear from it because it was too tall a task, his kickboxing career(and later MMA) career would take off in Japan and on top of that he was busy with job on the Croatian anti-terrorist squad. There's no way of knowing for sure, but I think he would have been a solid pro had he fully committed himself to boxing, European level at least.

    Just what i said last time. Too hard and disciplined to be anything but good, but you just don't know until you know. And we don't know.

    Briedis vs Cieślak, September 24 2021, for the IBF cruiserweight title.

    Probably in either Gliwice or Gdansk, Poland.

    Thought he was moving to heavy. Good stuff, though. His best bet is at cruiser.

    Dunno. He looks that is old and most likely rusty. With proper matchmaking he might look not bad at HW because such factors: his HW versions surprisingly were more mobile than CW versions: this stuff is unusual.
    He hates movers who maybe does not hit so hard more than predictable elephants lurking to KO him.
    Will see, I suspect it might be 50/50 fight vs old rusty over the hill Briedis.
