So, the excellent southpaw technician improved his record to 36(22)-0 with a unanimous decision win over Joel Julio. But what we do with him now? He has long been one of the hidden gems of European boxing. Lacking language skills, he looks like your average Eastern factory worker and is armed with a not particularly enthralling style for the casual observer. But surely that does not make him less deserving of the (relative) big money fights? He now has notable wins over the highly regarded Santos, Lujan, the competent Czech fighter Konecny and now Julio. How can we get him big fights? Does his promoter Kohl need to find some big bucks to get a name over to Germany? Will he even make a return on his investment this way? Does Dzinziruk have to go to America? How would you plan his next few fights? How do you think he fairs against the best at 154? Can he even step up and fight Sturm, seems unlikely given they are both promoted by Kohl, but I'm struggling for ideas? This content is protected
Fight Santos I really want to see that fight again. The way Santos looked vs Alcine was good. When Santos is motivated, he is a very good fighter.
I don't see him coming to America unless Showtime is ready to give him a shot. I think one potential option is Cory Spinks but I'm not quite sure what Spinks has in mind right about now. Maybe a fight with John Duddy?
I'm sure a fight with Cory Spinks would raise the roof John Duddy would be an excellent clash of styles. Its so unfortunate for the guy, because I don't think its that he wants to hide away. He fought one of the toughest in Santos. It's really tough to match this guy, he is too dangerous and very difficult to promote.
He'll get more press if he fight Angulo. A win over Angulo, to the sports fan and the casual boxing fan, will mean more. Snatching a prospects zero holds alot of value.
Rematch with Santos. But to built his profile that fight would have to be on a US network, and I don't see that happening.
It looks like Dzinziruk is going nowhere. He has always been promoted badly. After Santos, he was never given a shot at the big fights he deserved. His opponents lately have not been great and to make matters worse, he has started to fight down to their level. I am not even sure Dzinziruk has the hunger or self-belief to be the best anymore, even if he were given the chance. I think he'll be going the way Erdei has been going, alas!
How has he been promoted badly. What could they have realisitcally done differently? I don't think thats completely true, Julio was a dangerous fight unlike any of Erdei's. But instead of writing him off completely, what can they do positively?
