Who do guys think he should fight to get rated? And how do guys think Roman do vs Pavlik? http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/notebook?page=notebook/boxingnovember7
After losing to Spinks, Roman moved up to 160... then back down... which explains why he looked like crap against Bunema.... Against Garcia, he was a pound or so overweight and had to reweigh.... I think Roman should rematch Javier Castillejo and avenge that lost... If not him, then Raymond Joval....
He's a good fighter but not elite and never will be.That being said anybody of Aiskinainen,Ghevor,Castillejo etc would be good.Hell even Demers.
Karmazin's weight in his last fight was truly odd. He came into the Bunema fight around 151, 3 pounds under the limit. He looked lethargic and slow. I think he's starting to show his age and I'm not sure going up in weight is going to do him any good. His best days seem to be behind him. Pavlik would ko him.
I for one had Karmazin ahead of points after 12 rounds of boxing against Castillejo in Spain.Besides the old Spanish vet is shot.
Roman is a heckuva nice guy and has had a good career but it is time to hang up the gloves in his 36th year.
I think this may be a good move, he looked extremely lethargic and weak in his last fight. The added weight should help him.
