I like Kudrysahov. Don't get me wrong. Just saying Duroduola isn't an elite opponent, and he gave Kudry serious problems just by concentrating on defense and letting him wear himself out. Kudryashov definitely learned in the rematch, but now he'll be applying those lessons against higher level opponents.
I give both an equal chance. Dor is still the better boxer, Kud the heavier puncher. It will be whoever imposes his style - the boxer forcing the fighter to box or the fighter forcing the boxer to brawl. Damn good fight!
I can clearly see some marked improvement from the stiff stance and lead feet in the first Durodola fight. Better speed and some more variety in the combos. How will he act when under pressure, though? That is where his main vulnerability is.
Really good fight, you could easily see either guy winning by ko in the first couple rounds. I think the fight actually makes it to the mid to late rounds and I'd pick Dorticos by ko.
I think Kudryashov takes this, really excited for this match. Lmao at Dmitry's rock throwing training.
