Yes, Akpejiori is a complete novice, and it showed. Was hoping to see him get more right hands off from long range just to see what would happen, but Makhmudov just kept getting in on him before he could unload it. If Akpejiori is pursuing a degree as an engineer as Kris pointed out, he should go all in on that and forget about boxing. Just too late a start to the sport.

He’s black an immigrant….every major American university will accept him and GIVE him a degree regardless of what the Supreme Court.

Yes!
Every non white person is given a pass.

Nobody is given and engineering degree without earning it…sociology, philosophy maybe. Engineering, no.

Absolutely USF. He has that shiny record so you know prospects are going to come calling. He should turn them all down, no matter how much they’re paying.

ugly but would like to see Makhmudov in with some better competition

Lol… think Anderson would sign up for that one? I doubt it. It feels like it would be an easy fight to make if Anderson would take the risk.

Worst “somebody’s “0” must go” fight in the history of boxing. I’ve seen better techniques displayed in a ToughMan contest than this travesty.

My 6 year old grandson already has better technique than both of these guys with only a couple lessons… he can throw a 1-2 combo without falling in and even add a left hook..who the hell trains these bums.

I actually enjoyed this one. It absolutely cracked me up how bad both were and I laughed my ass off at the ‘fight’. How on earth can top rank put on such horrible bouts time after time on these cards. Doesn’t anyone at that company care about putting out a decent product? A casual fan would see this and think our beloved sport isn’t worth anything.

This Russian showed Jared Anderson what it’s like to actually have punching power.

And Takam showed him what it’s like to have skils

A 41 years old Takam showed him at wich level his limits were..

He was doing the Stevie wonder the whole fight

Speech is gone. Welcome to the communist states of America.

Ennis Villa was a great fight. Villa has one hell of a set of whiskers! Not sure anyone else in that weight class would made it to the tenth!
