Any thoughts on Shumenov?

I thought Shumenov looked very sharp, albeit against, a limited opponent last night. He's very deliberant in his offense; he does waste a lot movement (sorta like Anthony Dirrell); his punches looked very crisp, accurate and powerful. His timing was spot on

Dude's an attorney who's a part time boxer. He's not great, but LHW is weak, so he's better than most

Wasn't really impressed. Seemed more muscle bound and slower than I remember - got caught with plenty of counters and telegraphs his punches too much. He needs to fight much more often before fighting Hopkins but he said he's ready for Bernard and obviously Hopkins is there for the cherry pick.

He ain't bad. Has a chance against most LHW's but I think Bhop takes his belt soon
