Ergashev didn’t impress me neither. I wasn’t tryin to score but it seemed there were rounds where no one did much, and there were rounds where fox won. Did Ergashev really win or was this judging fixed? lotta fights last night I was floating back and forth.Last edited by ceylon mooney; 02-16-2019, 11:52 AM.

Thank goodness Thomas Ward was on while I was awake. First time that I've seen him. He put on an impressive performance. High level fundamentals with some athleticism. He got a little careless/sloppy at points in the 9th and 10th but I'll chart that up to him taking risks out of boredom because Hernandez gave him little to no challenge.
I fell asleep going back and forth between the SHOBox main event and the Brant fight on ESPN. I wasn't impressed with Fox or Ergashev. I'd be highly surprised to hear from either one again.

I didnt know Ergashev was trained by Virgil Hill, but once I realized it you couldn't miss it with the way Ergashev was fighting. Has he always been trained by Virgil Hill? Cuz I never noticed him making all of Adonis Stevenson's mistakes before, yet here it was. I can't think of a worse trainer for Ergashev. He needs someone that will push him away from his power punching instincts, towards more boxing, not someone who will push him TOWARDS his power punching instincts. He needs someone who will teach him to box behind a jab, not someone whose style doesn't even utilize a jab at all except a touch jab!
Ergashev's speed, timing, and judge of distance are elite. His power is pretty good but not great and certainly overrated. With the right trainer who teaches him to box more and use his craft, he can be the best at 140, and possibly at a certain point become elite at 147 as well if he develops a lot. But I don't think Virgil Hill is that trainer, and I don't think the Kronk style suits Ergashev at all. He was setting up beautiful one-punch left hands all night just like Stevenson, problem is, Ergashev doesn't have one-hitter-quitter power like Stevenson! So that style is wasted on him and he is wasted on that style. Have him use his speed, timing, judge of distance, and natural defensive skill IF he would use it, to BOX, and he can be an elite BOXER. Keep trying to make this guy with 7.5/10 power at the world level, no more, into Adonis Stevenson, who had more like 9.5/10 power, and you're going to ruin him. **** already seems to be going to his head, to be honest. His team needs to smarten up or they will ruin him.

Ergashev doesn't look that good to me. He was very disappointing and I get the feeling that he is very stubborn and doesn't want to listen to his coach. Not a good look
