If Tor Hamer wins saturday,is he #2 HW in USA?

where do you rate him now?

 

he is ranked #1 for current ranked heavyweights with no heart

 

somehow I imagined both of these guys to be better

 

And to think........

More than a few ppl watching it from were I was had it even after 4. We were screaming at him in the 4th....taking punches and bascially looking ready to cry.

He blasted Glaskov with a R hand in the opening seconds of the round and shelled up after Glaskov took it decently.

I mean, NEVER. have I see a guy be so in a fight and just quit midway through a rd without ever being hurt. I mean, a case could be made for McCall vs Lewis 2, but McCall was up all night smoking crack and he was having a breakdown in the ring. Different scenario meethinks.:-----(

 

Any word on why he quit? That was horrific.

 

I think it'd be relatively one sided. Magomed Abdusalamov however I think would have a great chance vs Jennings

 

Hmm...let me think.

Both answers. Cunn is good, but he needs more good appearances (like against Adamek this afternoon.)

 

You would favor Jennings over Glazkov and Mago over Jennings?

 

Glazkov > Jennings > Abdusalamov

Honestly while I think Hamer is far more skilled than Abdusalamov, one has to wonder after today if he wouldn't crumble should they meet h2h. He just can't take the heat.

 

I think it's more like Jennings and Abdusalamov are on the same plane and should fight each other at some point next year, while I'm not convinced with Glazkov.

can't quite see how you have Glazkov better than Jennings and Abdusalamov already IntentionalB

 

i guess we'll never find out unless they all fight each other though

 

Wins over Bakhtov, Oloukun, Airich and Hamer rate higher than Jennings or Mago's resume for me. Glazkov is very complete and has proved his chin while Mago and Jennings have been down although i don't think either have a bad chin or hold the KD's against them. They're all on a similar level and it would just come down to style matchups.

 

I've seen a lot of him, as much as we've seen televised in the US of Jennings and Abdusalamov.

He's a very good boxer-puncher.

Olympic bronze medalist and probably would've taken silver (or maybe even gold, although Camarrele's a tough out...he could have conceivably gotten the job done, though) if not for an injury that sidelined him from the silver match. He actually went technically undefeated in the Olympics and only slid down the podium on a walkover.

Schooled and thrashed Kostya Airich much worse than Odlanier Solis did a few months earlier, softening him up for Charr to get an easy KO1.

Dropped and stopped journeyman Danny "Shrek" Peret, who loses most of the time but doesn't get dropped or stopped often.

Shut out Bakhtov, once a top 10 HW contender and at the time riding a 4-year 9-win streak.

Completely and brutally destroyed middling (but ranked at the time, after dealing Tony Grano his first loss...and Grano is currently ranked in some orgs) American club-fighter Mark "Oak Tree" Brown en route to a referee mercy stoppage, ending his career.

Outperformed the likes of Helenius, Pulev, and Brewster against Oloukun.

Just forced one of America's top heavyweights into submission.

That's all in only 14 pro bouts. He's practically a baby in the paid game, yet he's already fully acclimated to it and shed all trappings of the amateur style - and has quite a nice resume already for it being so short.


Hell, in his pro debut he took on a guy who was 15-5! Most people don't do that.

He's lost maybe two or three rounds in his whole career, out of 62.

 

nice. I guess I have to look into him more and hopefully these 3 get in the ring sometime next year

 

Gotta believe Johnson is licking his chops at the idea of a rematch about now.
