Okay gentlemen, with Danny Roman out with an injured shoulder and insufficient interest in the great ladies matchup between Heather Hardy and Amanda Serrano we're down to a pair of solid but not exactly AAA matchups in Haney vs Abdullaev and Hunter vs Kuzmin.

Whilst Zaur Abdullaev on paper probably represents a slight step up from Devin's previous opponents the eye test ain't giving him a lot of hope here; capable and competent rather than creative and eyecatching Zaur ain't looking likely to score the upset.. but it's just possible he may force Haney to dig a little deeper than we're used to seeing.

Kuzmin was the more successful amateur, but judging by recent pro performances Hunter is the rightful favourite here... despite his sole loss to Usyk, Hunter has otherwise looked extremely impressive and seems to have settled well at his new weightclass... still, despite making hard work of Dawejko, Kuzmin can punch and has a considerable size advantage. Definitely not a foregone conclusion.

Good luck gentlemen, and regards to you all.

Heya Bros. I know ya been away a bit , and getting ready for school and whatnot must be a bit crazy, but I think we need to look at those fight dates...and probably do a Poll for September (if possible).

Haney vs Abdullaev and Hunter vs Kuzmin are on the 13th I believe.

Also, ya got Tyson Fury vs Otto Wallin on Sept 14 along with Navarette vs Juan Miguel Elorde, 12 rounds, for Navarrete's WBO junior featherweight title...Jose Pedraza vs Jose Zepeda if ya dig deeper...all on the 14th..

Then in California there is: Jaime Munguia vs. Patrick Allotey, 12 rounds, for Munguia's WBO junior middleweight title
Ryan Garcia vs. Avery Sparrow, 10 rounds, lightweights...on the 14th

Linares fights in Tokyo on the 7th, but that's about it.

Overall, September looks a little thin until the 28th, but I have some other suggestions if anybody is interested...
Thanks a lot Broskis --

Ha ha... You are right of course, been a hectic few days and just waved my older son off for his first day at secondary school. I was in such a hurry to get the thread up in time for this Saturday that I just scrolled the Boxrec schedule until I came to a decent coupla fights and just assumed I was still looking at this week... Well, we all know what Assumptions make

No harm done though, I'll try to get one of the mods to get the thread title corrected and all's good. Like you say it's a kinda quiet month so we should have plenty of time to get on top of ish, though I'm real busy til the weekend, so I'll probably look at the advance schedule then.

Regards
