Comments Thread For: Avtandil Khurtsidze Shocks Antoine Douglas By TKO in Ten

[Eastcoast]

Hes signed to king promotions not haynon or PBC so Showtime took a L

Maybe not, Khurtsidze is signed to DiBella.

However, he trains in the same gym as Danny Jacobs, Khytrov, and Derevyenchenko, so those four won't be fighting one another.

And GGG tried fighting Khurtsidze years ago instead of Milton Nunez for the vacant WBA title, Khurtsidze didn't want the fight though, instead agreed to fight N'Dam in France for the interim version.

Gg can't stand getting hit. I think this dude can hurt huk and he has a great chinn I doubt loffler or Abel let gg fight him

This is a case of repeating bs so much, that one starts to believe himself... The fight against Khurtsidze (if it'll happen) will resemble Stevens. Good luck "pressuring" the skilled power puncher in GGG.

its was Kirkland vs Tapia 2

Also Amir Imam Vs Adrian Granados

would love to see magomedov-khurtsidze on the wilder-povetkin undercard

Two pressure fighters could make for a grueling war of attrition.

While Douglas caught a tremendous beating, he did show grit. There were a few times where he could've called it a day, and maybe that would've been the smart thing to do. I think he'll bounce back successfully.

Always been a fan of Mini Mike. I remember he signed with Dibella years back, and I was really excited about the talk of a fight with Macklin, but then for whatever reason he stopped fighting for 3 years. Didn't realize he made a comeback in 2014 and I was surprised to see him on Showtime when I switched the channel midway into the fight.

I'm watching this now. Douglas has an 8 inch reach advantage, not throwing a jab or doing anything to keep the guy off him.

Not surprised. This was a VERY tough fight to take on late notice. Almost crazy to take.

Why was it a tough fight to take? Unless you mean it was tough for the other guy cos Antoine had everything in his favour, height, reach, sheer size...this was supposed to be his showcase. It didn't go so well for him.

Do you get dumber everyday? Or do you just act that way?

This is a damn good fight. Douglas showing a lot even in defeat.
