Comments Thread For: Abril vs.Troyanovskiy WBA Title Clash, 3/15 in Moscow

I thought they were going to reschedule Abril Linares. I haven't seen much of the Russian but it looks like a decent match on paper. Got to give Abril credit for willing to defend his title abroad.

Absolutely. Full props and nothing but respect for Abril!

At this point every Cuban needs to just stay active...

Wanna bet? You're really underestimating Abril's chin.

And his skill...and his willingness to clinch. lol

Love Abril's style very slick. Ruined Punching "bag bag" Rios.
I see him beating all the champs at 135 lbs easy breezy that is if they get in with him.

Never thought I'd read those words. lol I like Richie, but he can be hard to watch.

Abril will school him, win every round and get robbed on the cards.

His pretty skilled. He rarely gets hit flush and he knows how to keep his chin tucked and roll with punches. He also covers his body pretty good too.

I love watching Abril fight too. He's no Mayweather with that Philly shell but he knows what he's doing. He's what Broner wishes he was.

Troyanovskiy is a beast.

Abril better not look past Troyanovsky. He is a devastating body puncher and it will be interesting to see how Abril deals/reacts to the body work.

Not hard to look "beasty" with that type of opposition.

Same here. Heavily underrated and under-appreciated fighter.

I think Abril is very skilled, but I don't enjoy watching him fight. He does what's necessary to win, which is cool, but it can be hard on the eyes. I think if Rich hit a little harder I'd like watching him more. I wish him success and good luck. He's gonna need it to leave Russia with his belt.
