Comments Thread For: Shumenov vs Joppy is Set For Kazakhstan Clash

[IIG]

that title is on loan till he fights someone with any sort of skills. i was hoping erdei would step in and take it.

campillo beat him both fights imo

Yeah, that second fight with Campillo is one of the most disgusting decisions ever. I have no idea how anyone could conclude that Shumenov won that.

Let me guess, after the fight Joppy will announce his retirement. It seems to work better than calling guys out. And the new... Could you imagine? The Joppy of 2000 shows up in kazackstsan, On 2 days notice , he must be in decent shape to make 175. A world where William Joppy is a World champion and Bernard Hopkins isn't, huh?

Hey Joppy has way more experience than Shumenov he actually has some what of a chance. Shumenov still has ways to go but he has the potential. He still fights like an amateur and does not pick his shots. So look out.

mountains out of mole hills

In Shumenov's last fight, he whipped the guy that knocked cumpillow out in 6.

People are acting like Joppy isn't a last minute REPLACEMENT opponent. He's trying to salvage the fight card for the paying fans, who are not getting refunds whether he fights or not since the rest of the fights go ahead.

Also, I don't see how this is worse than Gilberto Keb Baas getting an undeserved title shot against Omar Nino, and Baas friggin' won that. Baas is now 34-20-4. But no, Joppy, a former world title holder, a guy that at least survived 12 with B-hop, that's somehow worse.
