    I dig the Evil Empire sig.

    As for the thread. Obviously, I like Bivol but I've been pretty vocal that I can no longer back him if he doesn't schedule a meaningful fight before the year is over.

      A lot of Uzbek/Kazakh still on the come up, but none are with major American promoters.

      Hearn has Giyasov and Yeleussinov and theyre closing in on title challenges.

      I have no ****ing clue why a blue chip heavyweight like Jalolov is with Dibella, who is practically out of boxing.

      Dychko realized he just wanted to plow hookers in Miami and has done nothing since going pro, I dont even know who he's with.

      Oh and whatshisface got KTFO by Rosado a few months ago.

        Many Uzbeks and Kazakhs are coming up but it's gonna be some time when someone of the calibre of Golovkin, Kovalev or Bivol emerges.

        I'm very disappointed with how Bivol's career has progressed after joining Matchroom, he fought Barrera , Pascal and Chilemba in the span of six months but since his Matchroom adventures the only big fight he's had is with Smith Jr. and that was in 2019 .
        ​​​

        The top amateurs aren't that good and most of the somewhat promising types are one dimensional power punchers who'll be poorly promoted by the " Mexican style " gimmick when half of them can't string a three punch combo to the head and the body.

          Thanks YMR, Tim Tsyzu is going to rock Takeshi Inoue and Tszyu-Castle, like Rage Against The Machine done Woodstock 99.

          There was some buzz for Dmitry Bivolvs. Zurdo Ramirez, but John Ryder will do since he really beat Callum Smith.

            Filip Hrgovic. A whole stack of HW's have turned down a final eliminator with him.

                My problem with the Ryder fight is that he's not a real LHW. I'm not a big fan of the 168 division either but I won't get into that here. Ryder has had one fight at 175 and he's pretty small for the division. He just looked like a SMW with a tummy. 175 is pissing me off too though so at least it's a fight I guess. I'd rather see him fight Zurdo or ideally Beterbiev since they are the consensus top 2 guys at light heavy. Neither man seem like the type to shy away from a challenge so I'll blame it on management and boxing politics for now. Hell, even give awkward Vlasov a shot since he arguably beat Smith in their vacant title bout.

                I just want to see interesting fights but boxing is a business first and covid is a ***** so there are many details working against that.

                  Man, I stopped following LHW when Anthony Yarde was touted as the next superstar from the UK. I had so much fun at his fans expense in every thread the boxingscene would publish about 'Lions in da camp', boy he was crazy-hyped! Now these same goof-ball fanatical fans are at it again with this English-Bum Joshua Buatsi.

                  Yeah, hang in there man, Dimitry Bivol is going to chin this bum Buatsi.

                      Hrgovic is the next eastern euro stiff being hyped up to be a killer

                      Personally I'm not convinced.
