Suikoden's Minimumweight thoughts:
-These guys suck
-CP Freshmart vs Menayothin is the ONLY great fight available at this wasteland of a division.
-Apparently Takayama and a young Japanese fighter are fighting for a vacant title. History will be made no matter which one wins (either youngest ever Japanese champ or only 5X Japanese fighter)
And guess what? It's not even being covered by Japanese TV nationally
Only locally........ Japan
-Argumendo vs Rojas would be good as well. Rojas deserves a title shot and Argumendo was good enough to beat Takayama so, why not. Mexico vs Nicaragua, it'll sell somewhere I'm sure.
-Ya'll wonder why I stan Ricardo Lopez so hard..... THIS is why. Even Roman G was a beast. I'm not giving these guys a hard time just because they're small and don't produce a lot of KOs. They (top 5-10) don't fight each other often enough, and when they do... it's usually a disappointing stinker.
... that's it, that's all I got, I honestly don't know nor care about the rest of them guys.
@Newzz you keep going out of your way to mention me to make my predictions, I apologize for not making them, I'll get back on it

This will be interesting.
Stiverne is a bad style matchup for Povetkin, all bad
I believe we're going by " #CaseCatchers "
oh.... and....
2X Champ!
nah interims are no real champs...you know that
From a negotiations stand point, I understand why fighters don't call out other fighters much these days...
1. B-side fighter wins a significant bout
2. B-side fighter publicly calls out A-side fighter
3. A-side manager and promoter sees this
4. A-side manager and promoter calls B-side manager and promoter for a meeting... and they sign a non-disclosure agreement before the meeting begins
5. A-side offers 2-piece biscuit meal with a medium soda
...here's where it gets interesting...
6a. B-side fighter balks at the deal, 2 sides can't come to a compromise, no deal
7a. A-side states they made an offer, B-side didn't want it, they're moving on
8a. B-side claims they were low-balled, media chooses whoever they want to support
or
6b. B-side says, ok.
7b.They make sure everything is OK with the trainer and fighter... they'll get back to B-side team
8c. B-side claims they accepted everything and never got a contract, media chooses whoever they want to support
Really, the only time big fights get made is when BOTH FIGHTERS agree to it and PUSH for it. Otherwise, it's left in the hand of politics.

This will be a slugfest
I have Lebedev in this one, similar styles but Lebedev is better and more experienced
I was just watching two Gassiev fight today... Dude didn't impress me tbh... a little like a less reckless, cruiserweight Provodnikov. Doesn't fight on the inside, only from his preferred distance, can't fight on the backfoot, not fast, little to none head and lateral movement, doesn't really use angles, gunshy if his opponent doesn't stand right in front of him...
I doN't know why this guy being hyped as a top prospect...
Lebedev is also no a sweet technician but in his own style he is fine and I think he will beat Gassiev.
From Russian lhw-cw prospects I'm the most impressed with Beterbiev and Umar Salamov, they seem real good. Gassiev not so much...

gassiev punches hard as fukk..he scored a ridiculous KO some months ago...CW is filled with punchers though among their champs and contenders.....the only division where the fighters really fight each other...no ducking no politics no nonsense..the only division i rate above them is 130 due to the higher quality of fighters but not by much
