I'm considering some improvements over the next 2 or 3 years in my assessment. The guy has barely 2 years of pro boxing experience despite his age. He'll improve, they'll surely work on getting rid of shortcomings. And I mean top 30 is Brian Rose type sh^t. Idk that its THAT generous so much as a lot of cats with a decent promoter behind them can get into the top 30 off of smart matchmaking + some solid talent/drive to succeed.
Balance is definitely garbage doe & I meant to mention that in my first post. They need to work on that cuz thats basic sh^t & he for sure gots some "I'm not really hurt" type KD's in his future cuz of his balance. And yea he's pretty wild, but I suspect thats run of the mill guy with 9 pro fights type stuff.
Well, you are right, I've seen worse than vaughn being more than top 30 I guess. So yes, I guess I'm not being fair with him and that he will surely improve in the next future.
Let's see how he evolves. If he shuts my mouth up, he wouldnt be first one, so... let's see.
LOL & dude just stops it in the corner. This cat should just get a gig at the night shift at 7 Eleven. Vaughn ain't THAT f#cking good, but this cat did lil to nothing to try to win this fight.
Vaughn looks decent enough. I suspect he maxes out among the top 30, maybe top 20 level.
You cant expect more from a 27 years old, awful record guy fighting in an undercard and selected to be fed to vaughn.
You are being quite generous with Vaughn. He looked good because of his oponent, but his balance is bad, his style leaves him opened, his hits are wild but seem to pack not a lot of power, and his stamina management is worse than awful. You will see vaughn sleeping on the canvas very soon.
Vaughn up 2-0. Other cat needs to realize this is 8 rounds & he's in a winnable fight if he actually does something.
If he tags vaughn's body after his combinations, not very hard necesarily, just to cut his breath rithm, vaughn will not be able to launch a single punch in the 7th.
But this is a missmatch, it's so obvious they are feeding this guy to vaughn. But you will see, vaughn will be fed to any other one one day or another, you'll see.
Vaughn is pretty f#cking wild. And leaves himself out there to be hit by faster cats too which might not bold well for him in the future although that may not matter tonight. Won the first on my scorecard.
... Alexander's brother was 11 years in jail, right?
I foresee a wonderful dream on the canvas for the animal in the next future. Maybe not today, but the canvas is waiting for him.... and he will go.... that's for sure.
The undercard just started on HBO Boxing YouTube channel:

Thanks for pointing this out bro :boxing:
I'll try to remember to green you when I can
Kovalof is how it is pronounced in rusian, isnt it? At least petrov pronounced it like that in an interview talking about kovalev, and petrov is rusian.
Maybe hopkins learnt to speak proficient rusian XD. Who knows.
I've read of stories where people who wake up from coma after serious accidents speaking a different language. Bernard definitely suffered that too..

... it's Kovaliov... :)
Yeah I realize that. Just taking the opportunity to diss RNS. :lol1:
Btw Hopkins said "Kovolov". The beating from Kovalev and getting KTFO outta the ring by Joe Smith Jr must've messed up his brain.

I love the undercards, I will never understand why people pay such amount of money to watch a fight and the arena is always empty during the undercards. I would be the first one to be there watching from the first fight to the last one. People are crazy. Not because of the money, but because man, that's boxing too, there are undercards better than the main event.
