    The guy has a great pressure style and fights like the energizer bunny. He beat the crap out of Dib and would give the top guys at feather weight a lot of problems. If they match him up with Donaire...I may just favor Gradovich.

    He's solid and im a fan but i wouldn't go that far.

    Mares
    Gonzalez
    PDL
    Walters
    Donaire
    Salido
    Lomachenko
    Hasagawa
    Lopez
    LSC soon

    Personally i would like to see Donaire vs Walters and wouldn't be surprised if that's why they signed him. Gradovich vs LSC would be brutal.

    I'm aware and it's the biggest shame for the 126,140,147 divisions where both have a solid stable. Those weights would be amazing if we could get the cross promotion fights.

    Gradovich took the first Dib fight on short notice and managed to pull it out. This time he had more time to prepare and made it look almost easy. Credit to him for what he's done.

    Still, I was thinking he could have finished Dib earlier a couple times when he had him hurt if he'd thrown more to the body. For a mexican russian, his body attack was kind of lacking.

    I like that he was patient. He doesn't have one punch KO power, so stopping Dib required accumulation.

    He's got great come-forward footwork and good handspeed. This guy is a pressure fighter who can actually move well. Dib had no where to run despite backing up for most of the fight.
