Comments Thread For: Osleys Iglesias makes statement win in KO8 of Vladimir Shishkin

[HisExcellency]

Just watched the fight...Iglesias is very impressive but I don't think he's got the skills to trouble Canelo. Anyhow, he's one of 3 talented contenders (along with Sheeraz & Mbilli) who can all BANG (and to a lesser extent Pacheco). Hopefully they all face each other soon.

He's naturally heavy-handed but generates a lot of leverage and torque on his punches...he'll give both Sheeraz & Mbilli serious problems.

This would’ve been a great fight for Pick ‘Em…when does the new season begin? Canelo/Crawford?

What's that? Please educate me, as I'm all for finding a platform that let's you make fight predictions, etc, but I never know where to look, or what's good. Or am I totally out of my element here?

Perfect timing...it's a boxing predictions league where users from this forum test themselves against each other and the new season kicks off next week.

Awesome, thanks so much for the help. I'm new to this forum, but have been a boxing fan for a bit now. I hate to date myself, but I used to be a diehard MMA fan, and I was always on the Sherdog forums; however, within the last 15+ years, I transitioned over to the sweet science, and decided to join a fan forum that was more boxing centric rather than MMA focused.

Iglesias looks promising, he is going to be a problem for a lot of fighters at 168 lbs.

I was gonna say exactly the same thing — Iglesias is a problem. He’s big, skilled, disciplined and possesses power. I’ve been high on Morrell for years, and had Osleys in my peripherals, but I’m now thinking the latter could be even more promising. It’s been said that Iglesias beat David in the amateurs, and I can see why. Anyway, here’s another guy to watch — and further proof that the Cuban School isn’t inherently boring.

Welcome to the forum bro…as long as you’re NOT another bot (the forum has been flooded with those lately like refugees…hard to tell ) it’s all good!

You Cuban mofos sure do produce more than your fair share of quality fighters…EVEN the marathon runner Scull was a world champion!

PS: Iglesias is gonna be a REAL problem…Cuban amateur style, confident, dynamite in his fists and throws punches from all angles with a lot of torque and leverage.

That’s a solid win tbh because Shiskin was seen as a top 10-15 guy at 168 and he arguably beat Scull for the vacant title when they fought. Guy has a good style and he could cause some issues for guys at 168lbs. People like pachecho,Mbilli etc would be good fights
