Alimkhanuly is starting to look like he could be a serious player at Middleweight.
He should fight Adames or Liam Smith in UK, if Liam beats again Eubank Jr.
Love to see either of those.
But look at the money, 300K for his title defense headliner and he is the A side?
Smith wouldn't even show up at a press conference for that sort of money.
People are going to say Janibek is the boogieman- and I heard the comms trying that on leading up to the fight- but he isn't avoided because he is some sort of boogieman, he just isn't worth the top guys time to fight him.
Indeed, he's pretty much like Andrade but less dangerous imo.
Adames said that he's ready to fight him and imo Janibek should've tried to push for this fight as Adames is a top mw contender who also holds that regular wbc belt that could open the way to fight for the full mw wbc title like GGG did back in the days.

it shouldve been stopped when butler was half conscious and getting battered after the first kd. to let it go till that 3rd kd is crazy. maybe fury coming back in the 12th vs wilder has gone to reiss's head
Agree. Butler was out of it after the first knockdown. To let it go after the second was nuts.
That was ridicules. The safety of the fighter comes first. He was done after the first KD.
3x.
Butler was a goner after the first knockdown. Clearly concussed. That means it's time to stop the fight.

Janibek 300k, Steven Butler 75k
Moloney 50k, Astrolabio 85k
Flores 20k, Derrick Murray 10k
Javier Martinez 8k, Joeshon James 12k
Ruben Villa 25k, Maickol Villagrana 10k
Amado Vargas 4k, Bernardo Manzano 4k
Brian Norman 15k, Jesus Perez 20k
I wonder how legit these numbers are… surely Jason Maloney could be making wayyyy over 50k for a world title fight in aus…
But I always question those anounced pays, like is there just low numbers for tax reasons then a lil bit more on the side…
Indeed the purses are low, - all expenses - taxes and you have almost nothing. I wonder if they have some bonuses/sponsorship money or some other type of remunerations that are not taxed?
It was written in a Mtl paper today that Butler made 200K for the fight. Much more than the 75K announced .

Liam is very experienced and a well rounded individual for the most part.
Might sound like I'm bottling it a bit here on Alimkhanuly's behalf, but it could be a tad early for him at this point.
He looks good and an eye catching stoppage is always in his favor, but you don't learn much.
Couple more bouts, stretch him out a bit and give him some more rounds.
It'll help in the big fights down the road should he get there.

jani would beat liam and adames, would be decent fights
For sure. I want to see more of him, but without a fan base of significant size, he simply won't put enough bums on seats to generate the money for Simthat least.
And its not from lack of excitement in his fights, he is a beast.

Tbh I don't see nothing special at him. His handlers would try to pad his record with stiffs until a big money fight arrives. Ol' good recipe for cash in/out.

Carlos Adames responded that he'd fight when Janibek said everyone is ducking him. Fell on deaf ears.

quack quack
Why not fighting Adames, beat him and then become Charlo's mandatory challenger?
