    Try youtube. And I wouldn't call any top cruiserweights "obscure".

    In his defense most normal fans have barely heard of Huck....sadly. A lot of guys on here are only exposed to guys they see on HBO and Showtime.

    Oh wow... I just did a little research into Chakhkiev's opponent for tomorrow in an eight-rounder on a card that near as I can tell might not even be televised locally in Russia...

    The dude is a Brazilian. :!:

    Not only that, he got wiped out by Dorticos in two minutes flat. (down thrice)

    [yt]ZsZjKuO_Dyo[/yt]

    So any mild intrigue that Chakhkiev facing a 14-1-1 (12) fighter may have previously held is gone. This is virtually a guaranteed steamrolling. Rack 'em and Chakh 'em. :yep

    Might not even worth hunting for a stream (which could take an hour...which is 59 minutes longer than what the 'action' should take)

    If this even reaches the 2nd, Uni-brow ought to be ashamed.

    I feel like if they aren't on Showtime, HBO or PBC you have to pretty much try and laboriously follow a fighters career.

    They don't make it easy.

    For someone to have 3k boxing forum posts in under a year and not recognize the bulk of the roster @ Cruiser is pretty depressing. :-(

    Under-appreciated division, to be sure.

    And Dorticos couldn't even take out a mummified Edison Miranda, so Ventura has 0 chin, Chakhkiev better not let him get out of the first round.

    Nah...if you sniff around pretty much any given Friday or Saturday afternoon/evening (US time...afternoon for European stuff and evening for North American) you can find some boxing on. You might have to be willing to click on sketchy links and risk getting a computer virus, but that's worth it to any real addict. :yep

    Then you have next-level intensity, seeking out Japanese cards in the wee hours of Tuesday mornings. :!: That admittedly is the super-nerdy edge of the fandom.

    Yeah but that's why I call the division The Forgotten Division on my threads, I've rarely ever seen any CW threads on here other than yours over the years, no one cares about Flyweights either, and the Bantamweights until HBO started putting Donaire on more. It is what it is....and unfortunately what it is sucks.

    There's more Deontay Wilder threads than CW/BW/FW threads in the history of this forum. :nod:deal

    There are some cruisers that would push his "shutdown" button. :deal

    (Briedis, Kudra, and some others)
