Comments Thread For: Janibek Alimkhanuly-Hamzah Sheeraz title fight ordered by WBO

[HisExcellency]

Sheeraz Is going to get brutally stopped. Janibek beats everybody in the divison. The right fight for Sheeraz is Adames

Agreed...Janibek is an ELITE fighter and a level or two above everybody else in the division including Sheeraz. I think Sheeraz's best chance of becoming a world champion is to fight Adames (Lara might be too slick for him even at 40yo) and then unify with Janibek. Still, I think Janibek wins an easy points decision or potentially stops Sheeraz late.

On an interesting point, I learned today that the reason the WBO wasn't on the line vs Mikhailovich was that Mikhailovich's team declined to fight for it to force Janibek to have to comply with the IBF's stricter weigh in guidelines with the second day weigh in. Was entirely because his promoter, which won the purse bid, was trying to weaken Alimkhanuly as much as possible. And we all saw the result... Pretty clear he's the top dog in the division as of now. Hope he'll take that Sheeraz fight. I'm curious how he'll cope with the size.

Oh yeah just like he wanted ggg...then demanded more then he got for canelo aka outpriced himself aka no he won't fight anyone. He will fight anyone just not in the rules of how reality works. Just like canelo will fight benavudez for 200 mill

He never out priced himself, and ggg wasn't too keen to face him. Let's not change history.

Ohh shii

I like this fight. I know that Janibek might be the favorite but Sheeraz is very big and very long for 160 lbs. I suspect Janibek might struggle with the physical disadvantages.

In a perfect world, Janibek fights Lara and Sheeraz fights Adames next, then the winner of the two fights meet for undisputed.

I like it but it might be easier to make Lara adames since they are both with pbc.

Lara will fight anyone, but not anyone will fight him. He's closing our his career and if the money is right he wouldn't say no.

Sheeraz is very accurate and can certainly crack, but Janibek is on another level both in terms of skill and athleticism.

[BlackRobb]

Very good fight. Any Charlo sightings?

These are the two top middleweights. Lara and Adames just want to fight bums.
