    Most of those guys have only been pro for like 1-3 years and they've still fought better opponents than Ugonoh.

    Pathetic.

    I want you to think about this: Taking on 22 year old Hughie would be "stepping up" for Ugonoh.

    Talking **** on twitter doesn't mean anything anyway. It's even sadder than Canelo's "we don't **** around." I honestly can't remember the last time talk on twitter led to an actual fight.

    I'd love to see the match though. I don't even rate Hughie highly, but his resume and progress are a thousand fold better than Ugonoh's.

    Some have been pro for 1-3 years, there are some like Rivas, Wallisch, Miller who've been pro for over 5 years. (I gave up on Dinu)

    Age doesn't really matter for me when It comes to HWs. Hughie is more of a contender now than a prospect, he'd be a step for anyone not rated top20. I'm willing to give Izu more time as he looks hungry and shows improvements in each fight. If he doesn't step up until the end of next year, I'll probably cross him off as a prospect too.

    Izu is very fast and powerful.

    A top contender in the making

    I like the way he throws the left hook to the liver. Only Joshua seems to consistently go to the body among the top heavies for the most part.

    Your kidding right, that generational privileged black pole doesn't need more support and subsidized marketing....let him earn it the old fashion way the way all the other black ploe's have. LOL

    I get it though, its sorta the same way we should all be fans of GGG in America ......I get it, I get it....

    Bookies have Breazeale as the favorite.
    I actually put a little money on Izu.

    The books I'm looking at have Izu as a favorite.. which means everyone at camp must be talking at either how good Izu is or how bad Breazeale is..

    My bookie site is kinda confusing me but the odds have shifted to Izu now.
    I guess i got my bet in at the right time.
    I had Izu at 2.3, now he is down to 1.3. Breazeale has ballooned up to 2.8.

    Yes, they shifted quickly. Obviously the late money is flowing in for Izu.

    He looks pretty amazing right now. If he beats Dominic and looks good doing it, I see him going far.
