Filip Hrgovic vs Gary Cornish. What you think guys about this fight?
http://www.sauerlandpromotion.com/n...international-title-on-september-8-in-zagreb/

 

Regardless of whether you rate Hrgovic (I do, one of the top HW prospects right now IMO), he should be far too good for Cornish and end him early.

 

Hrgovic is the best of the young up and comers. It will be interesting to see what type of effect his new trainer, Pedro Diaz has on his performance and style. Hrogvic wins inside of five rounds. This fight makes sense, as Cornish is 6'7" tall and over 240 pounds. If Hrgovic is to fight the Wilder's, Fury's or Joshua's of boxing by 2020, he needs experience vs. opponents like this.

 

I would rate Joyce over Hrgovic RIGHT NOW. But Hrgovic much younger so probably more potential as a pro.

I would like to see those prospects and "youngsters" fighting each other.

It's 99 percent done as far as I'm concerned," explained Fury to Sky Sports.

"There's been no arguments over money, splits or promoters. It's how real men do it, we do the business, straight to it, no messing around, no hiding from the big fights.

"If you're good enough you're good enough, and if you're not, forget about it, go home."

Fury's promoter Frank Warren told the BBC: “We are close to making this happen. Is it too soon? The next fight will give us the answer. The way Tyson is looking in the gym, he’s lost another couple of stone. He’s very focused.”

The promoter said the fight could take place in November or December. He said Fury was prepared for a fight outside the UK. “Tyson doesn’t care where it happens. He’ll fly to the States if needed.

“If I didn’t think he was ready I wouldn’t put him forward. If he comes through the Pianeta fight in August, I expect him to fight Wilder before the end of the year. He wants it. He feels good about everything. He’s in a good place at the moment both physically and mentally.”

 

It seems that talks about the fight at the top of the Polish heavyweight between Artur Szpilka (21-3, 15 KO) and Mariusz Wach (33-3, 17 KO) are slowly moving towards a successful conclusion. Wach, in an interview with Artur Gac, revealed that he would probably submit his parcel on the contract soon.

"Maybe this week we will sign" papers "to fight with Artur Szpilka, I was more interested in 12 rounds, but Arthur's staff said it was too long, so I agreed to 10 rounds." - quotes "Wiking" on Twitter journalist Interia.

If you finally manage to contract Wacha and Szpilka's duel, it will take place on 10 November. If not, "Szpila" will face a foreign rival on that day

 

Kubrat Pulev will likely face Hughie Furie on September 9th.

On August 9, the date of the tender was determined to select the organizer of the qualifying fight for the title of world heavyweight IBF champion between Kubrat Pulew (25-1, 13 KO) and Hughie Furym (21-1, 11 KO).

Currently, the camps of Bulgar and the British have time to reach an agreement without the need to join the contest of offers. Earlier, from the qualifying rounds with Pulew, they withdrew from Dillian Whyte and Jarrell Miller.

The International Boxing Federation belt in the "royal" limit is held by Anthony Joshua. The winner of the fight between Pulew and Fury will be the official pretender for the Briton.

Ronson Frank’s Uprising Promotions officially announced today that it has signed undefeated heavyweight Vladimir Tereshkin (20-0-1, 10 KOs) of Kovylkino, Russia.

“Since the first time I spoke to Vladimir, I could hear the enthusiasm in his voice,” said Ronson Frank, President of Uprising Promotions. “He is a very good fighter who has a unique skillset for a heavyweight. He also wants to challenge himself and fight the best guys out there, which is exactly the type of mentality we want from the fighters on our roster. Vladimir has a goal of becoming a champion, and we look forward to working with his team to make that happen.”

Tereshkin first turned professional in 2007 at the age of 19, and he has remained unbeaten over the first 11 years of his career. The Russia native has fought in seven different countries during his pro campaign, including his American debut in 2010 when he dominated Joseph Rabotte at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Tereshkin has knocked out three of his last four opponents, and he last stepped into the ring this past January when he stopped Tamas Bajzath in Latvia.

Standing 6-foot-6, Tereshkin has the versatility to box from both the southpaw and orthodox stances. He has also gained valuable experience as a sparring partner in world championship camps for International Boxing Hall of Famer Vitali Klitschko and his brother, Wladimir, who will also be inducted into the Hall of Fame once eligible.

Tereshkin is now making the move to New York from Russia and will soon fight under the Uprising Promotions banner for the first time. He will be training under the tutelage of former welterweight contender Raul Frank, with veteran trainer Colin Morgan also working on the staff.

Uprising Promotions will be back in action next Friday, August 10, with a loaded fight card at Club Amazura in Queens. Included on the docket is undefeated middleweight prospect Edgar Berlanga, unbeaten super bantamweight Ariel Lopez, former International WBF World Super Featherweight champion Ronica Jeffrey and undefeated super bantamweight Jose Gonzalez, among other rising prospects.

 

Tereshkin is garbage.

Marcin Najman revealed on Facebook that there is a chance for Mariusz Wach (33-3, 17 KO) to fight with Robert Helenias (26-2, 16 KO) in the spring of next year

"Mariusz Wach is still a very sought-after name in heavy weight, perhaps Wiking will fight with Artur Szpilka in November, but it is not the only offer." - said El Testosteron.

"For the second time Team Robert Helenius has approached me with the will to make such a skirmish, and I am representing him in these conversations at the request of Mariusz, which could take place in March or April during the next ND Promotion gala. As the third option, the fight between Mariusz and Helenius in Germany is taken into account, I would like to remind you that during the first edition of the National Boxing Gala, Robert Helenius was injured during the victorious fight for about two months. before our gala. " - wrote Marcin Najman.

 

Joe Joyce will now be trained by Abel Sanchez after successful trial period.

 

Chudinov, Gassiev, Ponomarev, all trained with Sanchez, and all 3 show very low level in the night of fight between Usyk vs Gassiev.People start to talking, that these 3 were better before Sanchez.Maybe the genius is [only] Golovkin, not Sanchez?
