Cruiserweight and Heavyweight thread.

Price?! The same Price who was KOed by Hammer and Chisora?

 

I'm quite impressed with Huni tbh. People go on about his lack of one punch power, but the sheer volume that he throws especially to the body will bust up most of his opponents, and defensively he's fairly sound too, not taking unnecessary shots and his ability to move out of the pocket quickly once throwing combos impresses me too. The guy is a future world champ imo.

Peter Kadiru will face Tayfun Kurt in an 8 rounder on June 18.

Kem Ljungquist will face Jacek Krzysztof Piatek in an 8 rounder on June 25.

 

Haye was scheduled to fight Fury TWICE.

The first time Haye chickened out one week before the scheduled fight, using a sparring cut as an excuse. I remember how angry Peter Fury was about it.

The second time Haye claimed a shoulder injury.

Yes, Fury absolutely was a PED user (norandroline). I am not disputing that. I'm just disputing that his actual resume is paper thin

As to whether Price being definitely better than the guys Fury fought instead....well Hammer had no trouble breaking down and stopping Price and neither did Chisora a few years later. Price had some bad luck in getting fights with PED abusers and it cost him some career momentum but later fights underlined his inability to mix it up with the best in the division.

 

How about guys like Abell, Maddalone, Firtha, and Pajkic? They most definitely weren't better than Price.

 

Chisora pulled out of a Fury fight and Fury waited for him/.

 

Jared Anderson will return on August 27th.

 

Dear god, it is being reported that Joe Joyce will fight Christian Hammer!

 

Breidis-Opetaia has been moved FORWARD to July 2!

Nice. Hope it comes off.

 

So now Dychko, who apparently did not fight last week, is fighting someone names Kevin Nicholas Espindola on the 23rd.

Peter Kadiru moves to 14-0 after Tayfun Kurt retired after round 3.

 

Ivan Dychko defeated Kevin Nicolas Espindola by UD

99-91, 100-90, 99-91

 

UD?

WTF?

 

Disappointing - but to be fair, his opponent had never been stopped, and two of his three previous losses were MDs.

Miller won by UD as well, over a much more chinny opponent who had been stopped multiple times.
