Cruiserweight and Heavyweight thread.

I do not know who is saying he is super good but I do know that he is not a top 8 guy.

 

Adam Kownacki (15-0, 12 KOs) unbeaten Pole in the second round dealt with yesterday in Brooklyn who holds a good record Joshua Tufte (19-2, 9 KOs), opening the way for even more serious challenges.

The popular "Babyface" does not hide the fact that aiming high and its aim is to fight for a world championship. - My manager said that Saturday's win will give me a rise in the rankings. I have ambitious goals because I'm in the best heavyweight boxer age. This means that I want to fight the fights and 4-5 at the end of the year to be among the top 15 heavy in the world. In March, Brooklyn will be another gala, so I hope that when I come back to the ring. That now is not too tired, will work in my favour. I feel that my time is coming! - He said in an interview with the Polish Press Agency.

Adam Kownacki, like boxed well in the royal division Artur Pin, Izu Ugonoh and Andrzej Wawrzyk, is related to the managerial contract with Al Haymon, the founder and head of the project Premier Boxing Champions. Born in Lomza "Babyface" from years living and training in New York, where he already has a broad base of fans.

Yes, he was tko'd a couple of times in amateurs, I still would favour Wilder but ,I think Dinu has improved.

 

Yes he is not but he is better than those who I mentioned.

 

Robert Alfonso had 4 fights in 2016, his record stands at 10/0.He has victories over Luis Ortiz(12/0), Rivas, Andy Ruiz jr, Michael Hunter, Michel Lopez 2x and victories over other big names in amateurs.Hope to see him active this year and hopefully, some big promoter will snatch him up.

 

He is advised by Koncz, so he will be active this year.That is why he will fight on Jerwin Ancajas's undercard who is Manny' s protege.

 

Well well, Shaefer comes into contention to sign Yoka, Haymon is out:

Last August, a star was born. Tony Yoka won the Olympic title in Rio in the super-heavyweight category. Since then, the 24-year-old has been in high demand and is continuing the media appearances: Miss France jury, awards at the NRJ Music Awards, not to mention the numerous covers of magazines.

But the sportsman does not forget his career as a boxer. Amateur at the Olympics, Tony Yoka has since decided to go professional. It should thus engage with a US promoter (Top Rank is competing with another developer, Richard Schaefer) next week. According to Le Parisien, four fights a year will be scheduled: three in France and one in the United States, for a start in April or May 2017.

He never had big power, he is a boxer type, not a puncher type.In amateurs, he outboxed well known names,but never outpowered them.

 

Well, he is 4-time Cuban champion, mostly as a super heavyweight and also the winner of World cup in Moscow in 2010(Beating Zhang Zhilei in quarterfinals, Niyaz Fayzulin in a semi-final and had a wo in final), he had many wins in many tournaments over the good opposition, so yes he is legit.

P.S.He beat Michael Hunter 9/1 in the amateurs.Also, he has win Over Erislandy Savon by 11/10 score.He has a 12/8 win over Stefan Koeber, who beat Pulev, Povetkin,Solis and others in amateurs.His other victories are over Luis Ortiz(12/0), Rivas, Andy Ruiz jr, Michel Lopez 2x.
