Povetkin set him up for that. All fight long he threw that jab to left hook body shot combination, and Whyte was expecting the body shot again there. But instead Povetkin hit him with the uppercut and iced him.

Povetkin was incredibly washed at the time, too....

[famicommander]

As long as Itauma can throw an uppercut he'll be fine

Almost nothing happened for the first six rounds of this fight. The third fight was much more entertaining.

[famicommander]

They should have done this years ago.

First and foremost, have trained professionals on hand with the proper equipment and practiced procedures in place for emergencies.

I never, ever want to see a guy who is clearly in a grim state being propped up on a stool in the corner...

[famicommander]

Arrest the entire JBC at this point. This just keeps on happening.

[famicommander]

It has nothing to do with the ethnicity of the fighters. It's a combination of cultural factors and a flagrant lack of preparedness to deal with emergencies by the Commission.

The fact that we saw Ginjiro Shigeoka almost die in the ring because of inadequate response to a serious brain...

Only the Persoon, Cameron, and Serrano fights have any sort of question surrounding them.

If you ignore those fights entirely Taylor still has wins over:
Nina Meinke (IBF 126 champion)
Anahi Sanchez (IBF 130, WBA 135, WBA 140 champion)
Jessica McCaskill (unified 140, undisputed...

If they thought Nakatani could beat Bam they'd take the fight, because Bam would be a better payday than whomever Nakatani fights next and because a win over Bam would make the Inoue fight that much bigger.

Nakatani ducked Bam. That's what happened....

[famicommander]

You are flat out wrong. Bam was offered the fight, accepted, and Nakatani turned it down:

See the edit.

Gilberto Ramirez has had 3 fights at cruiserweight and has picked up 2 belts against reigning world titlists and a defense against another former world titlist.

Opetaia has been fighting the absolute worst guys he can fight without getting stripped of his belt,...

[famicommander]

Opetaia is the one doing the ducking. Briedis is the only quality opponent he has faced.

Zurdo's last 5 opponents:

A 40 year old career 168 pounder?

Sounds right up Paul's alley....

[famicommander]

Bam is far better as far as placing his punches and his defense is loads better.

Bam already tried to make the Nakatani fight but Junto turned it down, so Bam accepted the Martinez fight instead....

[famicommander]

Some people think Wlad become lineal from the Chagaev win, some thought he already had it from the Ibragimov win, and some like the TBRB held out until the Povetkin win. But everyone with at least half a functioning brain agrees that he was the lineal champion by the time he fought Fury....

[famicommander]

Bam is a much more accurate puncher and he's much more defensively responsible. He will break Nakatani down and stop him without too much trouble. So will Inoue....

[famicommander]

Joshua vs Klitschko could not possibly be a lineal fight. Wlad was coming off a loss and hadn't fought in 18 months, and at that point both Wilder and Parker were undefeated and highly ranked world titlists....

[famicommander]

"cruiserweight title"

When you just say that it sort of implies it's a world title, not a silly regional belt nobody cares about.

[famicommander]

Nakatani gets hit. A lot. And Inoue hits considerably harder than guys like Nishida, Moloney, Santiago, or Yabuki....

[famicommander]

There won't be a trilogy, Inoue is going to destroy him in the first fight....

[famicommander]

Why on earth would he do that? Bam would likely knock him out and then no Inoue paycheck for Nakatani....
