Cruiserweight and Heavyweight thread.

Saw this tonight during the spike tv broadcast. Great crossroads fight. Should be exciting, like both fighters but will root for Cunningham I think he deserves another chance on the big stage at heavy. Felt he deserved the win or draw vs Glazkov.

 

Chris Arreola returns July 18th in ten round fight vs TBA on Carl Frampton undercard.

 

Joseph Parker wins Tko round 2.

 

Bryant Jennings says he'll be back in November vs TBA

 

Excellent!

 

:thumbsup

 

Saglam took a dive, however.

 

Didn't see the fight but Saglam doesn't have a decent chin. Solis sent him 5 feet away with a single straight right.

 

Robert Helenius just got a 3rd round KO win against a Georgian journyman Beka Lobjanidze. Robert looked very lazy and stiff. Ring rust is very obvious - he'd need to get matches against better opponents more regularly.

Or move to United States and get some quality sparring. Not sure how serious he is in investing his career any more at this stage, though. Could be that he is just getting the easy pay whenever he can and enjoys other areas of life like he has always preferred to do.

What a waste of talent this man is. Probably biggest natural puncher of today and one of the naturally lightest feet for that size of a man if he had the stamina to use that ability. But no ambition in trying to put himself to the limit to get better as an athlete. Talent gets you so far and then you face guys who worked more than you did. Still undefeted record, but a rather disappointing showing today.

 

I just watched it. Saglam was battered to bits. That was no dive.

Parker looks the business.

 

Geez. Give him a break. He has had some awful injuries and his former promoter is trying to sabotage his career. He has some hills to climb, but that is two fights in what, 3-4 months. I am sure he wants to test the hand and shoulder as he kicks off the ring rust.

 

Parker is nothing special and it was a dive. The punches didn't even land

 

Hey, he got the job done right.

Same as Wallin and White.

He's usually a slow started anyways, so unless Lobjanidze pressed him, Robbe probably wouldnt have gotten it sooner anyways.

And yeah, 2 fights in 33 days isnt bad.

Hopefully he can get someone like Beck into the ring, while obviously another shiitty opponent, he's a relative local so I don't see why it couldnt be made.

He keeps getting KOs every month for a few more months, and maybe Krassyuk will look at him for a deal with K2 Europe, and earn a ranking again, something he'll need if he's gonna be able to get higher quality fights vs the likes of Solis, Takam, Perez etc.

It's too bad that Ustinov is gonna finish Chisora, or he could try working into that fight.:-(
