Cruiserweight and Heavyweight thread.

I have heard that Eddie Chambers vs Gerald Washington will not be televised, I'm trying to confirm from an official source. I know there's 4 fights on the schedule which seems too many for the time slot

Kyotaro Fujimoto vs Nathan McKay on 4/27/16

I really like the look of young Meehan.... Kid might go far. Will need to see more but so far he looks like a really good prospect.

 

Just further confirmation that Fujimoto has zero power at HW. He did some good work against a limited opponent, but couldn't so much as dent him... Despite hitting him with everything but the kitchen sink. McKay has been stopped early by tomato cans as well.

 

Fujimoto has never impressed me, he had no problem hitting McKay and couldn't move him. Still, when the time comes I wouldn't mind seeing him matched up right with a name, like Andy Ruiz.

 

He's never impressed me either... I've only followed him because I'm a big K-1/kicboxing fan and was interesting in seeing how he'd do.

I could see him and Andy Ruiz Jr. as a competitive fight. Ruiz has power though, but that could be a name that could be picked off.

 

Certainly would favor Ruiz by a wide margin.... But he looked pretty poor against a badly faded White wolf. Wouldn't count Fujimoto out completely in that one.

 

He will deff be a HW contender if he gets managed right, don't like how he carries his left hand so low, but he has fast hands and incredible power, good chin.. His defence is also good, management is the key for him, has the tools..can deff go far

Like two fat boys fighting over a slice of pie.

 

Pano Tiatia of St. George, Utah, won his debut Saturday night with a 4-round decision over 1-6 John Orr.

Tiatia was like 75-10 or so as an amateur and ranked No. 1 in the USA at one time, I think. He's 19 years old and managed by Cameron Duncan. I assume he's Samoan.
