****Kirks Championships 2017 ****

Boxing riddle name the boxer.

After a wild beast I am named, against an exilie I was tamed. Who am I?

 

So you are giving like 10-15 % chance for Culcay? In my opinion this is just another good money deal by Sauerland. Sauerland likes to throw his fighters in to the mouths of the lions and I don't see this fight going to the decision. Culcay is not bad but there will be a huge difference between him and Andrade. There were huge talkings here about Andrade beating Canelo and even Canelo ducking him. Can you rate Culcay against Canelo? ( I see it as a horrible missmatch )

 

The Lion Dorin?

 

Andrade is a world class, skillful operator.

Culcay seems like someone that picked up boxing a few years ago and has managed to get as far as he has because of very soft and generous match making. I wouldn't be surprised if this was a slightly longer, more drawn out version of the Rose fight.

 

I also think that it won't be particularly competitive. Culcay struggled badly with Guido Nicholas Pitto twice, he's at least a level, if not two, below Andrade IMHO.

 

Man, that Pitto pick cost me as well. I was thinking that @KiwiMan, that Saldivia might well be coming to the end of the line.
Alas, another car crash of a week. Hanging in the top 10 but just when i think i am going to start climbing and heading for top 5 I end up clinging on to top 10.

Roll on next week...

 

Yea I agree he is still unproven but in an alphabetic order Canelo would be A , Andrade at his best could be B and Culcay C.

 

Lol.

Seriously though, I reckon participating in the league would be of immense benefit to the more biased posters, they'll realize how hard it is to consistently pick fights correctly & also that their preferred nationality/ethnicity sometimes loses too!
