Besides what is the standard for a successful HW pro now? It's not the deepest and most skillful divisions out there isn't it? :heh:
Dudes with basically 0 defense like Whyte and Wilder could become top 5 HWs in this era, small but skilled guys like Povetkin and Ruiz has had success too. Hell, Chisora still giving these dudes all they can handle at 35+, Joyce plodding through his opponents in slo mo and shyt :mjlol:
It's a more exciting division than it was during the Wlad era but the standard isn't that high, the division where you have to be the least skilled and least well-rounded imo

Dropped dude and cracked his nose open. Would’ve finished him off in under 6 rounds if this were a normal fight. He has great feet and bounce.
He fights like in a similar style to Porter, I can see why some think he won't make it though he's very open to get hit and that's bad news, at HW especially. Gonna be entertaining nevertheless

Amateur boxing is a different sport from pro boxing.

This guy is from Tulare, bout a 40 minute drive.. would be nice if he gets gold… the guy he’s facing knocked him out in 2019, the other guy is 6’8 and fights like vitali. It’s gonna be tough.

He's rematching the dude that sent him to hell a couple of years ago at the World Championships

I didn’t know you could go back to amateur fighting after hitting the pros. Jalalov has pro experience. Torrez needs to move left the entire fight and stay out of the range for the straight left.

It's a recent change they made. Pros can fight in the Olympics now. I think Pacquiao was talking about trying to get gold, but one of the sanctioning bodies basically said they would strip him if he did so lol.
