    Should be an easy KO for Gerber against a guy with a very inflated ranking.

    As a long time follower of Fujimoto this is good news for me. Parker would have annihilated him, Fujimoto if he's smart will only take on domestic matchups at how and maybe the odd Eurolevel guy. If he learns his place he can stick around for a while and make some good dough, but if he decides to become a trial horse for top prospects like Parker he'll wear out pretty quickly.

    I hope Fujimoto/Wilder isn't next either, but considering Wilders track record it certainly wouldn't shock me...

    Not a bad win for his 3rd opponent, but not a good sign that he couldn't stop Nascimento. Still, far too early to rule him out.

    This guy has talent but I don't expect him to amount to much... He'll disappoint just as his compatriots Solis, and Perez have...

    Mogundo is certainly eurolevel, why wouldn't he be?

    mogundo ko'ed tubby turner in 1 round. and modungo is low euro level at best. the minute he steps up his gettign sparked out. Usyk beat the life out of him with soft gloves and his a cruiserweight

    :nono

    So you can't see him hanging with guys like Airich, Bakhtov, Gjergjaj, Sprott etc? Because I totally could. And there's absolutely ZERO shame in losing to Usyk, he'd easily be top 10 HW if he decided to move up in weight. I'm not saying Turner will go far, he won't... But I just have a guy feeling he'll be involved in some memorable fights, and will have some nice highlight reel knockouts(he already does) Harrison/Sprott but on some of the best heavyweight fights in recent years despite only being domestic-eurolevel operators, I don't just enjoy watching worldbeaters, sometimes journeymen steal the show.

    i could see any of the guys you named knocking him out

    im irish but his just no got it imo. i dont see him being invloved in memorable fight becuase i dont think he has the stamina to go 4 rounds at a high pace. most memorable fights last at least 4 rounds at a high pace

    Yeah, that worried me too. But maybe he's just not ready for 8 rounds.

    I rate Usyk as the best prospect of the world but still Modugno got demolished by an amateur cw when he was a pro with 12 pro fights. And he refused to fight Teper for the EU title. He doesn't have good skills, doesn't carry big power, can't take a punch. He's not getting anywhere.

    exactly and that guy going no where competely destroyed tubby turner in a round

    im irish you would think id be the one backing up turner but his useless. Con Sheehan now he might be something to shout about

    Also Tommy McCarthy at cruiserweight might be decent too
