What are you talking about he's fighting bums and nobodies? He beat Julio who is a solid contender, and Santos who is a very respected beltholder so at least learn your **** before talking it. This is what made him a guy nobody is desperate to face. No, he is not in a place where he can demand. He already tried to talk with the other beltholders and they don't want to fight him because there is not much reward for the risk, until Paul Williams manned up recently and said he wants the fight. So perhaps if/when he wins, something will happen, but Santos does not want his ass whooped again, Phillips didn't want any and why the hell would Forrest go to Germany? Dzinziruk can't speak English, his German sucks, he's not exciting to many people and as such he does not have the money to demand anything. The promoters can only work with what they have on a realistic level, this is real world business not fantasy boxing.
"Santos does not want his ass whooped again" get real! Santos lost that fight by only 3 points on all scorecards, in Sergiy's back yard!
He has fought better opposition than Erdei up to now and still doesnt have a recognisable name among us fight fans. Erdei has had some good paydays.I very much doubt that Dzindziruk has collected a single good paycheck so far!
He would have fared better if he had signed a contract with Kohl's rival Sauerland IMO. Kohl has too many fighters in his stable and is hardly able to provide them precious tv exposure.On top of that all he is difficult to sell to the German market due to his poor German language skills. A very sad story he is! A classy fighter hidden somewhere on small fight cards in Germany! Fate isnt fair !1
Your missing the point that im making...I said that he has fought nothing but bums inbetween his fights with Julio and Santos which he has. My point is you cant fight the guys that he has been fighting and expect people to jump on the bandwagon. No one is scared to fight the guy, its just not worth fighting him. He is a good fighter that brings no money, that is one reason why the other champs at 154 hasnt fought him, the other maybe that Kohl isnt really going after those fights.. As far as Santos fight goes, I think that it was an even fight with the knockdown being the reason that he lost, it was far from an ass whopping, and I would bet that Santos would fight him tomorrow. He could make fights with guys that are ranked in the lower part of the top 15 with no problem..Guys like Spinks, Simms and Rivera would fight him in a heartbeat, those are the kinds of fights that he should be going for if he really want to make waves.
Sadly,you are right in saying that his promoter should be blamed for Dzindziruk's lack of name recognition. Kohl isnt ready to spend some good bucks on well known opponents. But I disagree with your statement that he has only fought bums apart from Santos and Julio. Lukas Konecny is certainly no bum. He for sure has the skills guys like Spinks,Simms,or Rivera.
His German promoter must be blamed for Dzindziruk's lack of name recognition. I am positive that fighters like Kotelnik-Dzindziruk's stabe mate-quite agree with my statement above. I very much hope that Dzindziruk's promoter does a better job promoting Gennady Golovkin who has the potential to be a dominating champ at his weight division.He has been matched very toughly up to now and beat a very decent opponent in his last fight.Nevertheless,seldom has his name be mentioned in the media nor has he got any significant media exposure.
very sad indeed,decebal. He won silver at the olympics-there are some well known pro names among his scalps. I am glad that Kohl has somehow sensed the great potential of Golovkin's stable mate Alexeev whose fights are broadcast by German tv. Alexeev is a superstar in the making. He has all the tools to dominate the cruiser weight divisions for years. Cant really see anyone at cruiser who plays in Alexeev's league! The competition is fiercer for Golovkin at his weight division.
Unfortunately, I'm one of them...what's Golovkin's game like, and is there any of his fights in particular I should try to get ahold of?
There isn't much to see yet, unfortunately...just a couple of rounds on youtube: http://uk.youtube.com/results?search_query=golovkin&search_type=&aq=f :thumbsup
