https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElJ30Hmq2ak What do you guys think of this man? In my opinion, he still needs a lifetime of sparring experience to be any sort of top contender. Super slow IMO
I think he should take the approach of Wlad. Keep using the reach and throw mostly jabs until he develop better balance and judge of distance as he is in danger of getting hurt when throwing other punches.
The problem is Dong either doesn't get up for the fight in the first place or finishes so fast that he never gets any real experience. We need to see an opponent who can handle Dong's size and make him last the distance. At this point I think Haye is the only heavyweight that takes Dong.
He looks absolutely awful... I've convinced that there are ESB posters who could beat him, this guy is a sideshow attraction. At least Valuev had some skill, and was fundamentally sound. This guy is an uncoordinated mess. Horrible timing, incredibly slow. Just look at how he wings and misses horribly on his shots, this Tomato can was also lighting him up with ease. atsch
You could try beating Dong, but it's only going to make him get off even more. You really want Dong all up in your face getting off?
Would love to see him against this guy http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=694641&cat=boxer would probably be the tallest fight ever
Based on what I've seen from him Julius Long would box circles around him Seriously. There are much better Chinese heavyweights out there right now, and this oaf is getting far more attention than them at the moment atsch
Zhang Junlong and Zhang Zhilei are actually decent fighters and deserve far more attention than this novelty act who no one would care about if he wasn't named Dong.
Zhilei especially. This guy isn't worth anyone's attention, he's not even a poor mans Valuev. Look at how easily these low level journeymen are touching him up, he's not going to go far at all... Though I won't be surprised at all if he goes 30-0 against this kind of competition before his handlers cash him out. They obviously see value in him because they keep putting him on TV, despite him complete lack of skill and experience.
Yeah these tomato cans are able to land at will against him, actually he's making some of these guys look good
My God, look at those zombie slow wide swings. I don't know about anyone else, but he easily looks like the future Tye Fields to me.
