I know it's all about Calzaghe vs Kessler now but I thought we should look at some upcoming talents in this divison which is very deep nowadays. One of the best prospects is Hungarian Károly Balzsay (16-0-0-12KO)who will face tough Argentinian Ruben Eduardo Acosta (16-2-5) for the vacant WBO intercontinantal belt on 24 November on the undercard of the Erdei fight in Dresden, Germany. Karesz is a tall southpaw with very good skills, fast hands and a real one punch KO power. He was a seasoned amateur he faced current IBF titleholder Bute several times and beat him convincingly. He will definitely make some noise in the division soon.
I've just found these on youtube: KO from his list fight against Brazilian Jose Hilton Dos Santos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXazO7mnYis An amateur fight from 1999: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1OK8qDRTis
oh jeez that lead uppercut then left cross:barf the uppercut popped his jaw up then big left hand amazing knockout perfect timing and sharp punches:good thanx man for the heads up
The young Hungarian is one of the most promising talents at supermiddle.Thats for sure! He still needs more time to take on really good fighters,but he has one of the best coaches in the business and a powerful western promoter. On top of that all he seems to be a very likeable young fellow with a good sense of humour. Guess that he is one of the better marketable German-based foreign fighters!
Of course he's not forgotten! He's the greatest ever boxer of my country and one of the true ATGs of the sport in general. BTW yours is good too :yep
Yep, pure execution. His stablemate and friend Erdei once said: "This Kid is a monster" I think that tells everything
Acosta is average... Mundine fought him in Australia as a tune up before Soliman. A bit of a showman, but not too much of a threat.
You're right mate, he's very friendly and humble guy outside the ring. I had the opportunity to have a little chat him after his last fight. He finished his foe then he went back to the arena and stood there talking with the fans for almost an hour.
