LaRon Mitchell/Mike Bissett on 25 August

 

Ruslan Myrsatayev/Mike Balogun on 9 september

 

It's a good fight between up and comers. I pick Myrsatayev due to his amateur experience and power.

 

Ruslan Myrsatayev is 6' 1" feet tall.

 

Here is Myrsatayev's WSB record:http://www.worldseriesboxing.com/boxers/myrsatayev-ruslan/. In WSB he had 19 fights in total and lost just 5 fights.

 

I go with Myrsatayev as well.

Another talent from the amateurs is turning pro. This time it's a heavyweight Zhan Kosobutskiy from the Kazakhstan. He is 6'3" feet tall and is 29 years old.He will make his pro debut on 29 August in Belarus. He was supposed to sign with Dibella and some other promoter in a co promotion deal but that move failed, the reason is unknown but I think he was denied VISA. In amateurs he won 3 Kazakh Nationals and has victories over likes of Medzhidov(13:6), Fraser Clark(2:1),Vasiliy Levit(11:1), Osmay Acosta(5:0).His biggest achievements in the amateur ranks were a victory in Galym Zharylgapov Memorial,victory in 2010 kazakh Nationals where he beat Vasily levit in the final by 11:1 score,final of Strandja Memorial,win in Liventsev Memorial where he beat Medzhidov by a 13:6 score in the final of the competition.Also he is the winner of 2012 Kazakh Nationals,winner of 2013 Kazakh Nationals,winner of 2013 Nikolay Manger Memorial,winner of Rafael Vakhitov Tournament and the finalist of 2013 Summer Universiade in Russia.

Mchunu-Bejenaru in October, who you got?

Damn good fight! Mchunu close UD in a dramatic fight. Very similar fighters with Bejenaru being the slightly more wild of the two.

 

Usyk will beat Huck for sure...................but Huck always gives a good fight...................

Wilder will fight another wino. Joshua is forced to fight Pulev and Ortiz. Why does Wilder not have to fight Ortiz? Why not Povetkin? I would pick Sirenko to knock out Wilder fight now and he has had only 3 fights! How about 6 foot 9 inch Dychko? He has not had much experience, but too big I suppose..................

 

It's Bejenaru for me. He is technically better and has better stamina.

 

How is his technically better? Have you seen how wild he is compared to Mchunu? Stamina you might have a point about. As his stamina let him down against Makabu(a notoriously slow starter) and saw his blowing a dominant start and getting knocked out late. But Makabu is a pretty hard puncher... Isn't the most technical fighter. This will probably be more of a chess match. But a worry is Bejenaru getting countered because of how open he can be a times.
