Cruiserweight and Heavyweight thread.

Same here.

Wallin seems very devoted although a bit limited. But he's still young for a HW. Granat seem to be a bit to comfortable and I think this could be his "cash out".

Had Wallin by UD before but could see a late TKO as well. Don't think Granat is fit enough for 12. Or isn't it a 12 round "title" fight?

 

Okay, so Yoka said.

 

It's a Tony Yoka quote! But I guess Houmz could be Tony...

 

Nah, after a 2nd look I think Houmz was quoting Yoka.

So far I think Joyce is off to a better start than Yoka. If they fought at the end of the year, I'm not sure who I would pick.

 

lol... yoka saying joyce not going anywhere in professional boxing 0.0 he may be 32 or33 but hes looked way better then you have so far kid... I liked yoka at first.. but his ego doesn't match his talent hes not as good as he talks.

 

Yoka might not adapt to the pros as well as Joyce does. He seems more vulnerable.

 

if they fought in 2018 I would pick joyce easily... but yoka has time on his side.. and decent movement he could improve.. but kinda looks like a knockout waiting to happen but that happened to klitchko early on also so who knows he could win a world title in a few years lol.. I think he will atleast get a world title shot at some point basically due to his name/gold medal

 

Both fighters won't achieve anything big in the professional division...

 

Yoka has better skills. Joyce more likely to uspet the better fighters.

With Joyce’s age, he needs to rush things.

 

Hrgovic back in the ring Feb 24, 2018

Hrgovic (3-0, 3 KOs) will be fighting Ireland’s Sean Turner (12-1, 8 KOs) this Saturday night in a scheduled 8-round fight on the undercard of the Callum Smith vs. Juergen Braehmer card at the Arena Nurnberger in Nuremberg, Germany.


Notes: Turner has never been stopped and has a " Box Rec " rating of 48th in the world. Not a bad 4th opponent.

 

does turner have any chance? I wasn't totally impressed with hrgovic vs little . he got buzzed a little bit. never seen turner fight though so I am assuming hrgovic by ko or wide UD

 

I think Turner is tough enough to take Hrgovic the rounds and test his chin a few times. Will get handily out boxed though.
Looked impressive last time out against former Haye foe Arnold gjergjaj but I only saw highlights

 

I hope Helenius gets a fight with the winner of Granat-Wallin to battle for the Nordic championship.
