Comments Thread For: World?s most avoided: Bakhram Murtazaliev is raring to return

Does Kelly bring alot of money to the table ? Because he should be looking ti secure legacy fights. He needs a new management team. Maybe Top Rank ?

I believe that Kelly does bring significant money to the table. I wonder why they didn't make the fight ?

I suggest anybody thinking Murtazaliev is the boogeyman at 154 - or even one of the best in the division - check out the full fight of Murtazaliev vs Culcay at All The Best Fights dot com. You'll see Murtazaliev go life and death for 11 rounds with the 39 year old Culcay (33-4 with 14 KO's coming in to this fight). There is NO WAY you'll come away thinking fighters like Boots, Fundora, Ortiz, or even Thurman wouldn't destroy him.

This fight was during ramadan. He just didn’t have energy to fight 100%.

Boots, Fundora or Thurman would never fight him so its a mute point.

Jermell won't either

If the Lubin fight gets made, I expect Erickson to try and outbox him and slow things down from the outside hoping to eke out a decision (similar to the Ramos fight). Lubin has decent power and legitimate boxing skills but he can't afford to get in any firefights with Murtazaliev because he'd likely get sparked out.

Bakhram said "I’ve got big respect for Tim’s promoters [No Limit], that they can pull those fights off. " If they can pull off two fights including a world title shot for a fighter you destroyed, it is time to rethink your promotional outfit. Maybe they are not doing such a crash hot job of promoting you and organising some food on the table for your family.

And you base that off of what, exactly? Also, the phrase you were looking for is a "moot point".

Ramadan has nothing to do with his feet being slow, his hands being slow, his inability to cut off the ring, or his defense being leaky. Bakhram has good power and good fundamentals, but any boxer at 154 that is athletic and has good power is going to beat him, unless they get clipped.

Y'all are trippin'.

Murtz looked good v Tower left overs and so so vs a 40 year old South American. This is no monster. Lubin will test him, Lubin is better than Culcay
