Bad fight, he got ko'ed in the first and 4th rounds. I hope Jalolov can get at least someone like Rice this year. he needs to step up Very good test would be, him fighting Franklin.
Never heard of his opponent before, but it's still only his 13th fight and so I guess he's still in that padding the record stage of his career. But you'd at least expect a name journeymen that people have heard of, just from a promotional perspective to get people to want to see the fight. So it is kind of disappointing. Someone like Rice, Wach, Forrest etc.
What’s the deal with this Jalolov guy? He seems like a real prospect. He got size, light on his feet, and a mean left hand. And an Olympic Gold medal. Why is he only fighting twice a year since the start of his career? Against not very good opposition. Is he some high level fighters sparring partner? How are they developing that guy?
I'm glad he's on the card but yes this is a poor matchup. He's 29 and needs to get busy; compare his output to Jared Anderson's. I actually think Jalolov could become the top guy in the division in 3-4 years, but he's not going to be much of a champion if he's already being so inactive. Just look at how much damage Fury has done to the division this year, and the current crop of HWs is much better than the next one appears to be.
Because of the viewership, American and British fighters will always get a chance, even if they are not that good, Jalolov would school literally all of them, it is not fair that a fighter of such caliber does not get a real chance.
