Romanov to face Guzman for vacant IBF title

has guzman fought anyone decent at lightweight?

 

Excellent match up. I think Guzman will stop him late if he can rediscover his form.

 

guzman hasn't stopped anyone in a few years and he's fighting at a higher weight against someone with a decent chin.

 

i still see guzman winning, but over 12 competitive rounds

 

Good point but Yuri's been out of the ring nearly a year, never a good thing. Especially when going in with someone as good as Guzman.

 

Great fight!
I've been waiting for Romanov to fight again i've only seen him fight against Thaxton .I love the way he anchors his feet and launches those scything blows

 

Should be an excellent fight if it comes off.

Both been very inactive though but I think Romanov can win on points :good

 

Guzman was a big puncher. Seems to have left his power behind at 122 thought.

I take Guzman via comfortable UD.

 

guzman pulled out of the arthur fight,you could say he bottled it.but it was a fight were he wasent getting any american coverage,or paid as much as he would have got fighting a bum in the states

 

Guzman will win every round. Bad fight for Romanov.

 

I reckon Guzman will hammer him. Styles. Romanov is a text book boxer and a good puncher. But he won't be able to dictate the action. Guzman is going to be very slippery, slick, fast. I think Romanov is going to be falling short with his jab and his whole game will fall apart off that as he'll be reaching in. Guzman will take advantage hitting him with combinations and then on his bike.

I'm a little bit sad because Romanov is a good fighter, even at world level I believe. But he's really drawn the short straw here as far as opponent and I think he's gonna look bad.

 

:goodSometimes you convince me that you really know your stuff....
