Cruiserweight and Heavyweight thread.

Two weeks ago.

 

Actually, Bashir in his recent interview said, that Stiverne needs to get in shape and that he is not in fighting shape. Bashir also noted that Stiverne looked slow in his sparring sessions with Joyce and Lewison.

 

Stiverne had an even sparring session with Lewison as well, according to Bashir!

 

Usyk has never sparred with Wladimir, according to Bashir. Johny Nelson wasn't telling the truth.

 

Joyce sparred not only with Stivern but he also sparred with the South African giant Ruan Visser. Both sessions with Joyce and Visser was described as competitive sparring sessions, by James Bashir, give and take a type of sessions.

 

After seeing both Joyce and Lewison sparring sessions, Bashir thinks that Lewison is a brought as a sacrificial lamb for this fight and he expects Joyce to steamroll Ian Lewison.

 

Upcoming fights in the heavyweight division:

Zhilei Zhang/Byron Polley on 23 September. Efe Ajagba/Daniel Gallemore on 23 September as well.

Oscar Rivas/Carl Davis Drumond for the vacant NABF Heavyweight Title on 28 September.

Nick Webb/TBA on 29 September.

Tom Schwarz against undefeated Ali Baghouz(10-0-1) for the WBO Inter-Continental Heavyweight Title. Fight with Siwy is off.

Oleksandr Teslenko back on 14 October as well. In other fights on 14 October, Tony Yoka will face dangerous Jonathan Rice, Alex Leapai will face Thomas Peato and Pianeta will face Kevin Johnson for the International Boxing Organization International Heavyweight Title.

 

You have to ask that to Bashir.

 

Stiverne stunned Joyce with a body shot in the sparring and Joyce's leg did a chicken dance but Joyce threw a lot of punches on Stiverne and moved well, according to James Bashir.
