Buff Guy Artur Tune Up Turned 41 Today

[SouthpawRight]

Artur DEFINITELY stays in shape between fights, he is almost obsessed with slways being ready

+ Buff Guy Artur is a devout Mooslem. no alcohol damage in his body. His Instagram stays regularly updated with clips of him exercising. Simply passionate about fitness

I'm pretty sure he'll have a tune-up too...he had one lined up before the end of the year which fell through at the last minute.

It would be stupid to face Bivol again after 20 months of inactivity!

By the time he fights Benavidez he's probably going to be at least 43 or getting close to his mid 40s. Don't get me wrong, he's a great fighter, only father time is undefeated.

How do you two see Fat Dave-Parker's Cousin Buff Guy Jai going?

Agreed but given that he's 41yo, it would be FOOLISH to face Bivol again without a tune-up (especially since Dmitry already has one lined up).

Good question...it'll probably be a close '6-6 fight' as you like to say. However, I give Benavidez the edge since he's got a better chin and Jai is much easier to hit. Also, he's got the superior work rate plus his constant forward pressure is likely to sway the judges. He's also fought the better opposition whereas Opetaia has only fought Breidis (twice).

However, I DON'T think it'll be an easy fight since Jai is a natural Cruiserweight, southpaw and has great athleticism. Let's see how he does against lefty Ramirez first!

Inactivity is a major disgrace in boxing, reason why it’s not growing, ffs, we can’t see two of the best in Artur and Bivol fight more than once a year is a damn shame, how can they expect to have a decent fan base arghh Saudi overs effect

being completely real, we have to call it what it is. The current era literally sucks. None of these guys fight on any kind of regular basis. It’s ridiculous. Professional fighters -even the best of the best- don’t even fight anymore. You hardly ever see them fight.

Me have Parker’s Cousin Buff Guy Jai’s SKILLED Slugger Style being bad for Fat Dave whose power and volume decreased when he moved up to 175

175 to 200 is the biggest single weight jump for the next division

Fat Dave has stated as the smaller man against Fat Gilbert Fat Dave will use his speed edge to box

While Fat Dave has a good spear jab and reach he hasn’t yet to show the footwork to outbox someone such as the fleet footed Jai

Buff Guy Artur’s one a year bothers me less as he’s now 41. Keep his mileage only for the big fights? And he isn’t the p4p king

Since p4p king is the face of boxing the onus is on the heavy head that wears the crown to fight regularly

Naoya has had a strong reign fighting thrice or 4x per year

Lol did you watch his last fight? 41yo journeyman Cinkara wobbled him with a few right hands and almost DROPPED him. Therefore, although fleet-footed, he's not nearly as difficult to tag as you think so imagine what Benavidez would do to him?

of course Cinkara is a career long cruiser

they all have power at that size

Fat Dave would be a 175 who ate tacos his way into cruiser

The power will be diminished he wasn’t ever a one punch ko even at 168

Lol Cinkara is a certified BUM and even he managed to land several flush right hands on Opetaia and almost dropped him. Therefore, imagine how many times David's going to tag him given his infinitely superior hand speed and skill (vs. Cinkara) plus the fact that he's a pressure fighter with an insane work rate?

I'm NOT saying that he's going to necessarily stop (or drop) Opetaia but this fight will be a lot closer than you think.

Cinkara is BUFF a career cruiser with a 83% ko ratio

There’s enough ish from the Cuban Dave fight for Buff Guy Jai to use and at least 8-4 Fat Dave

Fat Dave is volume in BURSTS like…..BIVOL

both have averaged 45 punches per round as of late

that’s only 7 more than Top Sniper Floyd who’d do 38

I’d be impressed if Fat Dave spams shots at Parker’s Cousin Buff Guy Jai like Buff Guy Artur did vs Top Soviet Bivol

the REAL volume guy Buff Guy Artur was spamming 57 around blessed with his ALLAH FUELED STAMINA

I do not believe Fat Dave has comparable stamina given how he took his foot off the gas pedal in the final thirds against Gvozdyk and Cuban Dave

Fat Dave gets cross stepping following in straight lines when confronted with fleet feet

Struggling to cut the ring off would discourage higher volume
