Karen Chukhadzhian vs Joel Mafauad

[handsofstone]

This Saturday on DAZN from Latvia, Chukhadzhian takes on 13-1 Mafauad of Argentina, incidentally the only guy to beat Mafauad is the guy Chukhadzhian just beat in his last fight after the loss to Ennis in their rematch

6pm UK time

[Ruthless-RKO]

Only took him 2 rounds.

Chukhadzhian had Mafauad down in the 1st from a right hand, clean as you like and the ref ruled push, think he realized when Mafauad scrambled to get back up he'd fckd up, still no matter 2nd round Chukhadzhian was landing clean combinations and a right uppercut put Mafauad down, he just about got up but ref correctly waved it off

karen is pretty good, the only guy to give boots a real fight (the rematch)

Karen is a hidden gem. Ability-wise, I'd give him a shot to unseat any of today's beltholders at 147. The question is - will he get his chance?

He's currently rated high within IBF & WBO (holds international belts of these sanctioning bodies).

My understanding is that Crocker would have to defend against Paro-Donovan winner.

Maybe, Chukhadzhian can get in line for the winner of Norman-Haney.
