God help me…..
Denis Grachev is a heavyweight now?
I thought the same thing. Seems like eons ago that Grachev knocked out Ismael Sillakh at 175. Also, I don’t follow her career closely, but I didn’t know Hannah Gabriels was a Heavyweight either.
Looking it up, his last fight was 2 weeks ago in Russia and he weighed in at 184. Two months before that he was 179. He is most certainly not a heavyweight. But looking it up, he’s fighting Frederic Julan who is a lightheavyweight himself. I’m starting to think this is a misprint. I remember the Sillakh fight, I thought Sillakh was going to be really good before it turned out his chin wasn’t very good. That was almost 10 years ago, seems more like 15. Gabriels’ last fight was at….
Okay, Gabriels fought her last fight at 177 and it was for the vacant WBC heavyweight title AND the vacant WBA lightheavyweight title. It seems too small for heavy and too big for lightheavy. Looking it up though, the WBC’s heavyweight for women starts at 168. The woman she’s fighting is a legit 195-200 lbs though.
Sounds like a great card! It might not be the top heavyweights squaring off against each other, but these are some decent quality heavyweights facing off. Hopefully more of the heavyweight hopefuls will start fighting more frequently. It just seems like the last two or three years, the heavyweight division has been dormant, except for a few top bouts here and there.
I believe this comes under the Tiller $2 monthly subscription platform not a bad deal for a night of fights but still find it hard to believe they get well over 5 million viewers for these type ofvevents
This whole card is the B-Team, right down to the musical entertainment. Not to say it’s not intriguing though; there are some interesting matchups going on here. I’ve never heard of ex NFLer Mike Balogun, but I’m always curious about athletes from other sports crossing over to boxing. Some do ok, but they’re rare. It’s mostly the Rugby guys from Australia and New Zealand that have legitimate runs as pro boxers. I think a lot of guys think “I’m a good athlete, in great shape, and can kick ass! I think I’ll box”. Until they get in the ring and at least spar, only then do they realize boxing is a whole different craft and discipline. A year or two ago, former Wide Receiver Brandon Marshall said he was going to start boxing and was calling out Tyson Fury and Wilder! Get a grip!
I remember Too Tall Jones Mark Gastineau and Alonzo Highsmith trying boxing and Anthony Mundine a pro rugby league player and won a world title.
I’m going! And excited to see anything, and I don’t care how elite anyone is, but these guys all won more than lost and willing to go at it, cheers to em.
