What does ESB think of this guy, he's undefeated, okay power, good speed, good chin, and a win over the once hyped Giovanni Lorenzo, yet he is not spoken of as much as his other young lion MW contemporaries. I think he will be champion someday & would do well against Pirog, Golovkin, Sturm etc. What do you guys think?
What do I think? 'where'd ya go?' Seems like the dude was hot **** for half a second then has done absolutely nothing of interest.... P.s. I agree with your above assesment of his skills and I think he's a fun fight to watch. I just wish he was more active or something.
I asked about him after watching several of his fights on Y-Tube. I got nothing but Hate really. I think the kid is talented but somewhat "un-tested". Still waiting for him make his US Debut...Can't wait.
lol They were supposed to fight multiple times and it kept not getting made. When the WBA finally demanded them to unify N'jikam dropped his WBA Interm belt. Nice try though. He also backed out of the Pirog fight cuz Pirog wanted a 3 week delay due to a minor injury and N'jikam fought Bursak instead claiming he couldn't wait around ...in spite of the fact that Pirog ended up fighting N'jikam's replacement Ishida several days before N'jikam fought Bursak. He was handed the WBO Interm belt for that fight for no reason at all and now he's has requested that the WBO elevate him to Champion since Pirog is injured. His whole modus operandi seems to be ducking legit compitition, being handed interm belts for no reason and looking to get a World Title without having to actually fight a belt holder. If he does manage that somehow i'm sure he'll hide out in France and become a worse version of Sturm. The only belt holder i would give him a chance against is Geale and maybe Sturm due to his inactivity.
Ya that's mainly because of his recent match making "difficulties". But he did have a lot of buzz after a win over some pretty highly rated Goergian guy. That fight was a cracking fight. And I think it was the one that made him interm WBA titlist or something like that. I'd give him a great chance against Sturm. His highly mobile style matches up well against the current version of FS. I think he could probably take Geale too. Although that one would be closer to a 50-50 fight. The big boys he ducked would shred him up bad though. He's overly reliant on movement and defensively quite open. GGG and Pirog styles wise would **** him up bad.
I was at his last fight. He's a very talented boxer, he has fought good competition over the last 2 years, but not the elite middleweights. Pirog ducked him clearly. I asked him about the Cotto fight, he told me it was just hype, he never heard any offering.
he's ducked both pirog and golovkin while his best opponents were bursak and lorenzo another hypejob if you ask me
