madrimov i think has a hybrid GGG style of fighting...more fluid...i was there live when he almost killed some guy in the ring...his power is legit

154 has parity across the board...any given day a champion can lose his belt to a contender....i would give him a strong chance at beating rosario and teixeira...ill give little charlo his respect and say i wouldn't favor mardimov off rip in that one
Interesting if u look at it almost all of these new Uzbek prospect have this style or similar, fluid footwork, hands down approach, angles, kinda acrobatic

I agree with @Dallas' 4 Eva that against Charlo would be bad news for him at least for now, Charlo is good at exploiting openings, he caught Lubin lighting fast after recognizing a pattern just a few minutes in and Madrimov with his style would give him plenty of opportunities to counter.

At least somebody else see's it. Jermell Charlo has very subtle boxing skills that a lot of people overlook because he can be wild and undisciplined at times. When he is fighting disciplined Lil Charlo has very good timing and counter punching ability that a lot of people don't give him credit for.

it really was...like i was backstage for a good minute...i saw the ambulance come down that ramp..and the security lady was asking me what happened in that fight...gvozdyk's team and teddy atlas are there outside of the dressing room stone faced..i remember wanting to turn on my camera and capture all this shyt but i thought against it..then you see gvozdyk all fukked up...shyt was a bruising fight..beterbiev was marked up too
The shyt looked brutal much more brutal than a 1 punch KO he took real bad punishment man

I only picked Thurman to win cause Pac is old. If we talking styles, Pac style is all wrong for Thurman. You gotta either have quicker feet than Pac(Thurman has quick and good footwork, but not as quick as Pac) or be able to keep Pac going backwards(Thurman fights off the backfoot like 95% of the time). That always was gonna be an uphill battle for Thurman.

Ima watch Pascal vs Dawson in a few and i have a feeling ima be :russell:

Tryna find some solid 168-175 fights over the past 15 years to watch

Dawson vs Pascal was mediocre as fukk. It had some nice fades thrown but it was sporadic as hell. Too much waiting. I remember Steward commentary and he was disgusted by the staring matches them nikkas were having instead of throwing punches, especially Dawson since he was supposed to be more talented and skilled boxer. Took him forever to get going.
shyt was like Ugas vs Porter at a higher level, but with an abrupt ending. :mjlol:

Im not a Hopkins fan, but his 2 fights with Pascal were more entertaining than Pascal vs Dawson. shyt had knockdowns and fukkery. Even the lead up was entertaining.
