Erik Bazinyan has been ranked in the WBO’s top ten at super middleweight since November 2017. Five and a half years and I don’t think we still have any idea just how good he is…. and we still won’t know after this fight.
Erik was 108-1 before turning pro. This young man is talended and a great role model for kids in Montreal, he is dedicated to boxing 100% and he can box his way to the top.
That’s fine. My point is that he just turned 28, right at the head of his prime and he if he wins this fight he’ll be 30-0 and WBO & WBC #2…. it’s time for him to get in there with some better fighters. Let’s see how good he really is. I think he’d probably even agree with me.
Erik Bazinyan (29-0, 21 KOs fighting Jose de Jesus Macias (28-11-4, 14 KOs). A very competitive fight and tough fight.
Machado +260 over Claggett might be worth a small wager-has enough KO power to have a reasonable chance.
