Dmitry Kudryashov Vs Yunier Dorticos - Who wins?

Dorticos! Not sure the brackets but I'm thinking either Usyk, Gassiev, or Dorticos as the finals.

 

Whomever lands the first meaningful shot?

Both are deadly punchers

 

Kudryashov knocks his lights out in 5 rounds.

 

This could be a competitive bout, but it wont last the distance, Connor MgGregors larger cousin wins this one. By KO in the 8th.

 

Both huge punchers but Dorticos has more boxing

 

I'd go with Dorticus. A much better boxer than Kudryashov who is too slow and plodding on paper. BUT he is a legit 'only takes one' kinda guy, so I refuse to rule him out in any fight at all.

**** I'm so stoked for this tournament. Someone better get the TV rights in the UK, I might bid myself if it comes to it. Will get the lads in the British forum to chip in

 

Hopefully my boy Kudryashov but he's basic. Either way, he has more power than Dorticos - don't be fooled by Dorticos' record. Take a look at his 'KO's and see for yourself.

 

Dorticos has a bit of skill and looks to have a solid chin, so I'd be tempted to go with him. Kuds has Earnie Shavers like power though, so anything could potentially happen.

I'd say Dorticos winning is the safer bet however.

 

Been on the fence for this fight. Had Dorticos for a while but I think the inactivity will hurt him. Kudryashov has fought 3 times since Dorticos' last fought. Dorticos is more skilled but he likes to fight too and Kuryashov is not a guy you wanna start out slow with. I think Kudryashov catches him early and gets him out of there.

 

Everytime I see people say this about a fight it never happens. Joshua-Wlad was meant to be whoever landed first but both guys sucked up a lot of punishment.

Kudryashovs defense is not good, I think he gets tagged hard and frequently until he gets stopped mid rounds. He always has that game changing power tho that could potentially bail him out.

 

I pick Dorticos, he's the better boxer and has good power (not quite up to Kudryashov, but enough to KO him).

However, you can never write off someone with as crazy power as Kudryashov of course.

 

Kudryashov destroys him within the first round.
