Kazakh boxers

what are you on about Spence was almost 22 when he faught Sapiyev he wasnt a child, his 24 now, it wasnt like he was 17 fighting him. so Spence couldnt stop Emmanuel Lartey , but your wlling to bet your house on him knocking out Sapiyev who beat him easily? he hasnt faught a high level of oppistion yet so ill wait and see what he does before jumping on the bandwagon. Sparrings great but at the end of the day its sparring , sparring great fighters can help you but its not going to make you.

Sapiyev is retired dont you know that?

 

i didn't.

i'm just messing with you.

kazakhstan definitely has some great fighters. so does the ukraine. i'd like to see more of those guys turn pro because they will change the landscape of boxing. they already have.

i do believe he has improved though...and that is because of the sparring. he's putting in harder work in the gym then he does in fights. i recently watched him spar ashley theophane from england. he pretty much had his way with him. theophane is solid. i did not see...but i've heard plenty of rumors that he gave floyd all he can handle. and there are also rumors of him dropping broner. all of those guys are high caliber fighters to be in the ring with...even if it is just sparring.

 

Well yeah, it's awfully wrong for some reason. I didn't even notice Savon being ranked that low. It could be that they only update it after the World/continental championships and Olympics, it could maybe explain the mess.

 

true a lot more of them should turn over, most Ukraine fighters are turning over now.

until he does does it in the ring against good opposition it remains to be seen. id consider Erikson Lubin a better prospect than Spence though, beating Roniel Iglesias at 17 years old(thats the age of a child) is incredibly impressive

 

they say they do it every month. them rankings mean nothing

 

i agree...it is impressive. lubin is a beast. i don't think he's on spences level yet...but he has some growing to do. he may pass him eventually.

 

well he is almost 6 years younger than Spence and still only 18, i think he would have a good chance against him now and is going to do a lot more than him

 

He's my hero

 

oh ya mixed that up and Toledo was after coming up from 60 to 64 but still a great win for a 17 year old
