Think Kayode will win.All respect to Luis Ortiz opponents in pro ranks,but Kayode as heavyweight had more respectfull opposition than Ortiz had.Kayode seems more durable.Has more speed in hands,and feet.I dont think someone will get kod,it will be clear ud.If Kayode wins,he have lot good things ahead.
All the best to Briggs,but he will go nowhere in his return,he have no defense at all.With couple improvements,i could see him get hit less.But he is too old to learn full spectrum,what Byrd could learn him.I see him loosing to most guys in top 50.His stamina,is good for one round.And he have no plan b.He just goes with no brakes.
I don't see Joseph Parker going faar.Reasons for this are several.Based on his amateur career he can't compete with top 20 guys in heavyweight division,as of now.He have loss to Zhang Zhilei,who hadn't the best amateur career.And few others,who i don't know. He seems to light,to compete with bigger and heavier guys than him,in top 20. His defense is not good.In nascimento fight he got hit too often. And last thing,he is carried too fast in his career.If he fights a top 10 contender,in end of this year,it will not end good in either short term or long term.
Really? Where was Byrd before Briggs :!: fight with Vitali? Not that it would have made much of a difference.
I saw that fight too. Big strong kid with good basic skills, and will be a very good pro if , and when he becomes one.
