Saturday @ the RCC Academy in Ekaterinburg. Fourth-billed on a fairly stacked mid-tier card by Titov Promotions. WBO Intercontinental cruiserweight title at stake, Tishchenko's second defense. The incumbent champion is rated #9 in the world by the WBO. Ahumada, once a highly touted power-punching southpaw prospect whose career has been uneven for the last several years, is looking to break into the org's top 15.
I had high hopes for Aumada after the debacle of the Valori trilogy, but he is firmly plateaued at the level of 'guy a Tishchenko should be defeating as of now'. Upset wouldn't be the biggest shock in the world, however.
I will go with Tishchenko on talent and youth, but he does not appear to be a huge puncher, even at cruiser. Tishchenko by decision.
