One of the matches I'm looking forward forward to the most this weekend... but I've had a sneaking suspicion that the 10 year younger, larger Relikh is really going to do a number on Troya. All that pressure with solid power and work rate to back it up... I honestly can't think of a worse style match up for Troya. Not a fight I see going the distance. Anyone else excited for this one? I'm excited to for the Mad Bee to finally get the limelight and not be screwed anymore.
Relikh couldn't be ant wronger for him. Troyanovsky probably has more power but unlike him Relikh has CHEEEEN for days, son.
Plus, stylistically, a skillful pressure fighter >>> a one-trick-pony, circle-to-safety-until-landing-one-big-shot type...as we are soon to discover in Stevenson vs. Gvozdyk (unless that idiot Atlas mucks it up)
Agreed, don't watch Kiryl much but if he gets inside and starts landing hard shots (Which he probably will do), Troya is folding like a cheap tent.
I'm big on the Killer Bee. One concern, for me anyway... Didn't Rances drop him with a bodyshot and hurt him to the body several times? He appears to be made of stern stuff but 3x matches in a row at the world level against small guys who moved up like Burn's and Races and who were never big punchers anyway...
Troya stops him, there's no proof Relik has an iron chin, he was hurt by Barthelemy and by Burns, and neither are what I'd call KO artists, Troya wrecks him, and I like Relikh more than I like Troyanovsky..
