Speaking strictly about the Heavyweights on this massive card set for Riyadh on the 23rd.
Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua are fighting for their lives in the game. Wilder takes on the Ring's no. 5, the always game Joseph Parker. Anthony Joshua is up against slick boxing Otto Wallin, the Ring's no. 10.
Sure, we expect Wilder and Joshua to prevail, and more onto their long awaited transatlantic war; but they are in TOUGH.
Underneath them, recently scarred Daniel Dubois and comebacking Big Baby Miller is a pick em' for anyone paying attention; and big Arslanbek Makhmudov should have his hands full against sleeper Agit Kabayel in a step up fight.
And then, you have two of the "Most Feared" contenders in the game being inexplicably PUT IN LIGHT.
SUPER LIGHT.
And that annoys me. What about you?
It's a great card. Very old timey the way its stacked with the best in the weight class.
But come on now!!!!
Fearsome Frank Sanchez. We hear that a lot; but we aren't going to get much out of a quick KO of once hyped Junior Fa, who last summer got blasted in under a round by....Lucas Browne!
At least give the fight to Browne.
If that isn't enough to piss you off; what's Filip Hrgovic doing fighting Mark De Mori????
A nice guy by all accounts, but BoxRec ranked no. 289 after winning 11 straight following a 1st round blitzing by ...David Haye...in 2016.
Shame on those two.
Credit to the others.
