Cruiserweight and Heavyweight thread.

Tomas Salek looks a decent heavyweight prospect for his age, only 19.

 

Italian cruiser Gabriele Guainella, now 4-0-1, just received a horrible gift draw over 5-10-3 Moroccan journeyman Yassine Habachi.

Guainella was beaten from pillar to post, huffing & puffing and on the verge of being knocked out for pretty much the whole match.

Just an FYI should you come across his record and wonder if he's a decent prospect. The answer is no.

 

Yeah I really like how they keep their fighters active, I hope they sign some more heavyweights.T
They have some good prospects in other weights who could become world champions like Zaur Abdullaev ( age 24), Mikhail Alexeev (age 22) Magomed Kurbanov ( age 22)

Good fight.

 

That's interesting about Willis Meehan. I've thought for some time that he could be a real dark horse in the division if he commits, but it's getting to the stage where even at 22 his window of opportunity might be closing if he doesn't take boxing seriously soon. While he can always come and go against local low tier opposition, to really beat ranked fighters and get big money fights he will need to improve his game over time, which can't be done on the fly.

Interested in any technical assessment of Meehan anyone can offer.

 

How come they didn't sign him? I like Romanov but don't think he's good enough or big enough to be a world champion, I think he'll be a European champion/top 15 sort of guy,

I'd like to see a Russian promoter like Titov sign Vladislav Muravin, a super heavyweight in the youths he looks a talent.
