Cruiserweight and Heavyweight thread.

Zhang is ancient but I'd still fancy him to knock DDD's head into orbit in a round or two.

In China or not. It's a smart commercial move to tap into that market. Be sure to put Queensberry everywhere...two words probably convert straight in two Chinese character sets.

Dainier Pero fought last night.

 

I wonder why there are so few heavyweights scheduled at the present time. The promoters seem lazy or unwilling to get fights made and keep their fighters active. It was different 20 years ago, we used to see fighters out more often, at least two or three times a year.

Frank Warren has a great stable of heavyweight boxers, most of whom are saying they want to fight ASAP. There are rumors of future matchups, but little scheduled (just Itauma-Franklin, which isn't really an interesting fight).

Quite possible. Styles make fights. Dubois may be the better HW overall now, but he cant take a punch and isn't exactly the hardest to hit either. Zhangs issues(stamina) still usually only pop up in the second half of fights.

 

That's oldest looking 26 year old I've ever seen.

 

Sitting on their spot and/or asking too much money.

 

Do I smell a potential hype job?

I don't think it's been confirmed anywhere officially (I could be wrong), but Gassiev is facing Chisora next.

 

I hope you're right, that would be an interesting fight.

 

That's an awesome fight!

But I don't believe it. Not the kind of money Del Boy would want.

 

See what happens. I’ve been asked to source sparring for Gassiev in relation to it; so it must be a fair way down the line.

 

I hope it does happen. Good fight for Gassiev, and I think he'll win.
