after fighting for a world title, fighting a really good fight where you showed you werent scared of a big puncher in smith, probably edging the fight, its hard to get up for fights knowing its a long road back to another title shot,

253 lbs Kudryashov? JFC.. I wonder if his chin is any better, maybe the poor bstrd was starving himself to make 200.

Nice update, but why not report on these fights like every other cards, like right after they happen? would be nicer

Somebody should cherry pick that guy who beat Vlasov. He isn't very good.
