More bad news for the Brits, 'Beefy' is getting slaughtered in Russia. A terrible year for UK boxing.

Kurbanov looked like an exciting explosive power puncher coming up, but the last 3 or so years hes regressed massively, he cant stick to a gameplan and his team are trying to make him box but he just resorts to wild winging hooks still. His gastank is not reliable and anything more than 2-3 punch combo he looks super sloppy & wild.

Smith is not very good but hes very tough and he is very disciplined, he should really be picking apart Kurbanov especially with Robles in his corner who i rate massively...When he gets him hurt or kurbanov gasses after an early onslaught then IF Smith survives like i think he will, he will take Kurbanov out mid to late IMO.

but **** it im taking a punt on kurbanov purely because hes the underdog...

Yeah, I think Beefy is gonna wear down and beat your boy Kurbanov, might even stop him late. Looking forward to the fight and the Russian card for sure

My only hope is the fact mongiua absolutely battered beefy to a pulp. and he is rubbish so, but then again that was more to do with sheer size & kurbanov doesnt have that, all he has is his wildness & the hope he overwhelms beef early on, cant wait either way. Comrade Bufferov better be there
