Comments Thread For: Heavy(weight) Action is Light On Progress

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Like the New York Yankees against Cliff Lee, the heavyweight division went down swinging every time they stepped up to the plate last weekend.

All that you wrote is true. But you forgot to mention an interesting heavyweight fight coming up: Kubrat Pulev vs. Dominick Guinn.

Povetkin/Atlas turned down Guinn as being too risky an opponent, but Pulev is stepping up to the plate.

There is light on the horizon, some better up-and-coming heavyweights: Ortiz, Pulev, Helenius, Glazkov, Price, etc.

Maybe this writer and more Brit sport journalists should take Gaye to task more for avoiding the Klitschkos and then we would get a meaningful fight. But that's not happening, so stop complaining in the meantime and watch the two bros build a long legacy, or don't watch at all.

I actually liked this weekend - Showtime fight with Tarver was decent and the Kltischko fight was great, he might not have gotten the KO/TKO but he did put the guy in the ICU, you can't say it wasn't exciting (horrific at the end on some level, but exciting.)

Very good fight for Pulev.

Jake is a good enough guy, but I'm sick of articles whining about the HW division from him or anyone else. I like watching the HWs and I also enjoyed the fights last weekend. I also think Vitali was considerably more impressive than Donovan suggests. But as long as there are no Americans doing anything much at HW, my guess is we'll continue to hear whining from US boxing scribes.
