Oner is milking him for all he's worth. Fighting these kind of high level journeymen/fringe contenders will get Yildirim ranked high enough for another cash out fight. All the while getting decent house/TV money for being a regional name. Mock is still a solid fighter and I would pick him a neutral venue(especially in an 8-10 rounder) but Yildirim is younger and the house fighter. a lot going against the old pro but you never know....
I liked Yildirim, but Eubank really exposed him. Mock has found his second youth and he really suprised me by beating Chudinov. Fight could become competitive.
Mock dropped Haye far move heavily than Carl Thompson did Carl Thompson beat Eubank Sr Eubank Sr>>>>>>CEJ CEJ knocked out Yildirim Mock wins via science
Overrated bum Avni Yildirim (20-1-0) still continues fighting old grandpa fighters after getting KTFOd by another overrated bum Chris Eubank Jr. last year in the WBSS. After losing to Eubank Jr. Yildirim fought - Attila Korda: 41 years old, 7 defeats (5 by KO) - Derek Edwards: 38 years old, was 2-7-1(!!) before fighting Yildirim - Ryan Ford: 36 years old, at least a solid fighter and put up a good performance - Jose Antonio Rodriguez: 15 of 30 losses by stoppage....... - Lolenga Mock: 46 years old....at least Mock is on a good run and win streak, winning 11 bouts in a row and only getting stopped once although he has 14 losses under his name. Bumni Yildirim is one of the most protected fighters out there. I would love to see Yildirim getting KTFO by another solid SMW but still Öner won't let him fight any guy out there with a pulse. My heart says Mock winning a decision here but my head is telling me the opposite. Yildirim won't lose a decision in Germany. No way. Although the scorecards vs. Ford were pretty accurate and solid. WAR LUMUMBA BOY
Was going to post this in my own thread, but fits in fine here. Here's some words from Mock... “I’m still improving even now. My skill is growing and you can see that since my comeback. I have my goal and I’ve very hungry to achieve it. I’m happy this is all happening now. “It’s been a dream of mine I’ve worked to achieve for so long. Now we have this opportunity and something real to fight for. Now I have it, I’m not going to let it go. That’s where the hunger comes from. “I’ve never had such a great chance in my whole career. My skill and determination will see me through. I’ve been a sparring partner for many but now I have my own goal and with that, nothing can stop me. “You can overcome many things in life. I have strong ambitions and when you put that in with skill, it’s a powerful thing. This is my life and my dream and I know the way. “The camp has gone very well and everything is under control. We are just focused on our own business. We don’t want to change much from my recent fights because since my comeback, everything has gone well.”
Would also love to have a line on this, because why the hell now I love to gamble. Yildrim certainly doesn't possess the skill or feet to apply any of his brute power towards grinding someone as mobile and durable as Mock down. The Over here would probably be one's best bet, I can't imagine this not going the rounds.
