    Cunningham took less rounds on my card against Tabiti than he did against Glowacki...So, yeah...kinda works in AT's favor, imo.

    Fair enough. How do you see Tabiti vs. Gassiev going?

    That usually happens when one guy is relentlessly coming forward like a real man dropping you several times in the process and the other is running like a scared little girl protecting his chin from being shattered a featherfisted old man.:lol:

    Depends on how much of Gassiev's soul remains after getting dismantled by Usyk. If he's not all the way back, the fight might be interesting. Or, boring. :lol: Would still favor Murat, but with not complete certainty in the outcome.

    Either way, I just think AT might be one of the better second tier contenders after Bredis and Gassiev. And, I think he's got enough talent to hang with those guys for a little while, at any rate.

    C'mon bro, 2 rounds? Usyk lost at least 4 rounds in that fight!

    Hunter is very underrated. I'm a big Tahiti fan but Hunter is for sure the better fighter, and I dont think its even close. Hunter would box his crank loose.

    No...what usually happens in the latter case is that the judges give the fight to the older but aggressive guy. They couldn't in this case because the younger guy happened to be popping the older guy pretty much at will during every. single. round. while limiting the older guy's ability to make any sort of fight of it. Fighting smart ain't the same as fighting scared.

    I like Hunter, but I think he and Tabiti reside on the same talent level.

    If he wins the CW WBSS he should get one as that would clearly make him the #1 contender. I would think even making it to the final but not winning would get him a shot.

    If Tabiti>>Fayfer

    And

    Dorticos >>Masternak

    I hope Dorticos sparks him out in the semi-final and Dorticos' mother climbs in the ring and spits in his face as he's spreadeagled out cold on the canvas.

    Fayfer is going to get demolished. He's crap. Struggled with a disinterested Wright(Terrible fight). Is he really in this thing?
