Ding, I know trying to prove the haters wrong is always a big motivator, but you're one of the most popular fighters on ESB, and a hell of a lot of people respect you and are fans (I know I am). Keep doin what you do, rack up a couple more KO's, and try to get into becoming a mandatory- that's your best chance for any of the current guys to give you a shot since a guy with one-punch KO power doesn't fit many risk-reward profiles they're looking for. good
We are close to a fight with someone now, but I wont mention him until its more concrete. If not, we are pushing for a fight with Adamek in an eliminator on an undercard of a cruiser title fight this fall. All he has to do is sign.:deal
Btw, there are atleast 5 good fighters that you guys know of that was afraid of emmanuel nwodo and there's proof, thats why he had the long lay off. They're a couple of people on this board who know of them. I'll give them the opportunity to tell who they are before I mention any names. Hint: 3 of them are in ring magazines top 10. One is rated VERY high in the wbc, and the other had a fight with chris thomas a couple fights ago.
A few months back he was number 8 in the IBF and 8 or 9 in the WBO, also 11th or something in the WBA.:good you can check the history more than likely. I took his ranking in the WBO plus a couple of spots. When the IBF rankings get updated, I'll move way up cause of my recent opposition and the fact that I won one of their trinket tiltes.:bbb
Ok, cool, I didn't think he was top 10. How are negotiations coming? You mentioned Cunningham. I've read him rumored to be fighting either Marco as mandatory or Enzo in a uni match.
Thats true, but there may be an ego issue when it comes to where the fights gonna be, but money talks(steve needs it for something important). Huck's people want the fight over there in Germany and are offerring a good payday, but I dont think he will feel comfortable with that dispite winning the title in Poland.
Nwodo is way stronger than Cora,Tokarev,or Purlette,eh! Well,I watched Wilson vs Nwodo about one week ago.Yes,he seems to be a fairly decent fighter.Nevertheless he lost to Akhasamba,a mediocre African journeyman whom I had the pleasure to watch twice. I dont intend to find a fly in the ointment,but I have never come across a fighter who had difficulties in finding an excuse why he had lost a certain fight in his career.I would also like to point out that whenever Wilson faced a known name like Cora,Tokarev,or Purlette he left the ring without a victory. No,I dont want to belittle Darnell Wilson,and no,I havent seen Davis' fight with Bell. As for Daniel Judah,Dale Brown,or Kelvin Davis they are all fairly decent fighters,but none of the aformentioned names cant hold a candle to Tokarev. You officially lost to Tokarev,and Tokarev was schooled and totally dominated in his last fight by Marco Huck. I had a good laugh when I had a look at boxingtalk' s ratings where I found Wilson at nr.7,but Huck at nr.9. An American passport helps a lot in the paid ranks and in the ratings . However,it doesnt reflect a fighter's true capability. Tokarev beat you,and so did Cora who also lost to Tokarev.The Russian was taught a lesson in boxing in his last fight by young talent Huck. Funnily,Wilson is rated above Huck.Makes you think,eh! A victory over an unknown African and three American club fighters seem to be enough to be rated among the top 10 in many mags,websites,orgs,etc. I have managed to watch Nwodo vs Wilson in the meantime.To my great sorrow I havent been able to watch the entire encounter between Davis and Wilson-only a short summary of that fight. Honour where honour is due! If Wilson beats a true top 10 fighter I will surely give my props to him. However,until now Wilson hasnt beaten any top fighter! I am not really sold on American cruisers at present. Cunningham is absolutely overrated in my opinion.He had two close fights with Wlodarczyk who had been one of the weakest champs out there. Cunningham's mandatory is Huck who will stop him within the distance. Anyway! I havent seen enough fights of Wilson to judge him correctly. However,he didnt impress me that much in his fight against Nwodo. Fighters like Huck,Mormeck,Haye,and so on play in a different league than that unknown African. Besides I am not a member of a choir which blows Wilson's trumpet. And by the way why did you say that people favour you alias Wilson to beat Enzo because you/Wilson have a better chin than Tokarev. What's wrong with Tokarev's chin? He has never been down as far as I know. He took some really good shots against Huck who isnt known to be feather fisted.Nevertheless he didnt go down.I guess lots of his rivals would have found themselves in the ring dust if they had taken those shots.
I think this is a rather ridiculous statement to make, there is no way these guys are club caliber fighters. Your entitled to your opinion Odo, but I wouldn't want to spar are any club your familiar with thats for sure!
Odo, I don't have a problem with him, he is also knowledgable on the subjects he knows well about, but he totally overrates European fighters and totally undermines American fighters, it's all ethnocentric based stuff. Calling Brown, Davis and Nwodo club fighters is completely ridiculous. And Tokarev wasn't dropped, but he was buzzed BADLY by Cora Jr, where as Darnell ate a ton of Cora's best shots all night, even to the point of puffy eyes and still was taking them on the jaw with little effect. Macarinelli can't fight going back, dislikes pressure, Wilson backs him up and then Mac's game is off, Wilson KO's him. Very easy fight for Wilson.
