K-1 still pressing on with a GP in December?
Also, thanks for the list.
I don't know tbh. I do know Tenshin called Takeru out and Takeru responded earlier today. It would seem that fight is becoming more inevitable.
Nah the only think interesting about that fight is Canelo going to 175. Kovalev is washed. Just cuz he is winning dont mean hes not washed like some keep thinking. Its a 80/20 Canelo fight & likely the only way the 20 comes into being is if Canelo does not take to the extra weight at all.
And yea that is likely to be a fun young cats on the way up fight.
Canelo is 5'8 and his only wins at 168 are against no hopers. To think he has it in the bag versus a career LHW with one of the best jabs in the sport is pretty naive. I would definitely take those bettings odds for Kovalev.
Of course, Canelo can't lose on the cards, and Kovalev is pretty brittle now. Can't throw the big straight anymore. But his amateur style makes him even more reliant on his jab. If Canelo can't slip that, he can't get to his body. Would be a really tough fight for him.
Definitely a bigger challenge than Gvoz should have in keeping Beterbiev on the end of his jab. If he's all he's cracked up to be. There is little nuance to Beterbiev's offense. He mostly relies on guys letting him in and standing with him in the pocket.
Some good fights there looking forward to GGG dere, Taylor Prograis, usyk spong, inoue donaire and obviously Ruiz hammering AJ again
Lubin-Gausha might come together for October 26 as well. It would be on this list if it was confirmed.
