Cruiserweight and Heavyweight thread.

After seeing Fury's fight with Wilder, I see Usyk beating both. But what I really want to see is him against Joshua next. From what I understand it seems to be next.

 

HAYE AND SCHAEFER PARTS WAYS AFTER 2-YEAR COOPERATION

It was supposed to be a great cooperation for years, while the Hayemaker Ringstar group is falling apart after less than two years. From now on, David Haye and Richard Schaefer are already operating separately.

The two started cooperation in January 2017, gathering some interesting players, such as Joe Joyce, Michael "Venom" Page or Willy Hutchinson. Joyce and Schaefer went to Al Haymon, and Hutchinson is already with Frank Warren. Meanwhile, Haye has co-operated with Deretz Chisora.

 

Stephen Espinoza, head of sports at Showtime television for the first time publicly commented on the possible date of the second leg between Tyson Fury (27-0-1, 19 KO) and world heavyweight WBC champion Deontay Wilder (40-0-1, 39 KO) . According to Espinoza, this fight may take place in May or June.

- I hear that Tyson and Deontay declare that they can fight the second fight in March or April, but I would wait a bit longer. The course of the first duel made him talk about it until today, so the rematch will be even bigger than their first fight - says the head of sports in Showtime.

- We also need adequate time to promote. After the first fight, we have a lot of dissatisfaction and understatement. People argue about who won, so the rematch will be definitely awaited. We need time to plan promotional activities, so in my opinion May or June will be good dates - says Espinoza.

Fury's first fight with Wilder took place on Saturday. The Englishman was lying on the boards twice, but the duel finally ended in a draw.

 

Fury lacks power so can't see him beating Joshua. You need to get Joshua's attention and way of doing that is by power.

VADA report: two tests by Głowacki and Wilder, three by Fury

The VADA anti-doping agency and the WBC federation published a report on the November tests carried out under the Clean Boxing Program.

In total, 36 inspections were carried out, of which 31 were performed. In the case of five boxers, including the masterly belts of the Charlo brothers, no tests could be carried out because they were unavailable to the VADA team, which is punishable by a fine or suspension by WBC.

No prohibited substances were found in any of the samples taken for testing. Among the checked players were, among others Krzysztof Głowacki (two controls) and Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury (two and three controls respectively)

 

Don't understand why so many don't rate Romanov. At age of 33 he is at his peak, As matter of fact he is more proven than Joyce, Ajagba, Gorman, Dubois and other prospects. All of these guys are not that hard to hit and Romanov has good precision to his punches. Romanov would beat Joyce by late stoppage or wide UD due to his workrate and power not speak of his fast movement. Ajagba would have only one weapon to trouble Romanov and that is power. Gorman would give him fight before he would gass but would lose due to his weight and build. And Dubois is way to green to trouble experienced Romanov.

P,S. I think many just judge by punching power, age, nationality or looks.

 

Looks like Andy Ruiz Jr will be out for a long time. Don't see TOP RANK stop working with him without a fight. Even if settlement is reached they leave him out of the ring for a long time like Korobov and Mekhontsev.

 

Aliev by stoppgae or UD. Doroshilov is still in amateurs and is sucesfull doing that, won few tournaments and is pro as well. Dorosilov have some technique but Aliev just too good.
