Re: Moses Jolly the next big thing in heavyweight boxing.
Seems like a bit of a leap in levels. Vianello performed solidly enough against Ajagba and Makhmudov. I have not seen anything of Moses Jolly, but as others asked, is this a realistic step up for him?
I'm not sure too much can be read into Vianello's performance against Torrez Jr. who is a smaller heavy at 6'2" and picked up Olympic Silver.
Either way, good luck to him!

Re: Moses Jolly the next big thing in heavyweight boxing.
Jolly so far seems to be deploying a hands low, high output “I’m the boss” sort of approach. Vianello can be pretty aggressive himself, certainly was in his last fight,
The Brit looks to be up against it but the first round should definitely be interesting to watch.

Bit disappointing this is only set to be an 8 rounder.
Re: Moses Jolly the next big thing in heavyweight boxing.
I personally don’t think it will go anywhere near 8 rounds.

On the activity subject. The UK’s novice heavyweights really do have the most pathetic level of activity. Unusual if you see someone not at area title level yet fighting more than 4 times a year.

Re: Moses Jolly the next big thing in heavyweight boxing.
Does any pro fight four times a year these days?
Re: Moses Jolly the next big thing in heavyweight boxing.
Rookies maybe. Anybody that's a star, no.

A big problem is journeymen Heavy & Cruises are that expensive, some cost 3 k a fight and that’s with notice .
Re: Moses Jolly the next big thing in heavyweight boxing.
There will have to come a reckoning regarding purses soon. The division has been artificially propped up with Saudi money and not by the fans- who have been dwindling in number for ages.Floydendizer wrote: ↑25 Aug 2026, 15:27 A big problem is journeymen Heavy & Cruises are that expensive, some cost 3 k a fight and that’s with notice .

I think he featured in the Sweet Fighting Man book. He was very game outside the ring too, from what I remember.TheLeprechaun wrote: ↑29 Aug 2026, 02:45Martin was game but was brought in as cannon fodder for prospects. Any time I remember seeing him he was getting starched. He seemed more game than an average journeyman though.

Definitely wouldn't have wanted to see him in a dark alley. Probably the nicest guy you could meet but had a pretty intimidating look. The red hair added to it

As for Moses Jolly, I took a look at him and he is winging a lot of punches in with a porous looking defence to say the least. I'll be surprised if Vianello doesn't do him tonight inside the distance.

They're mentioning him as a Kabayel opponent so it all makes sense.TheLeprechaun wrote: ↑29 Aug 2026, 08:31 As for Moses Jolly, I took a look at him and he is winging a lot of punches in with a porous looking defence to say the least.

Is Vianello handy on the cobbles?

Re: Moses Jolly the next big thing in heavyweight boxing.
Quite an embarrassing cherry pick tbh. He's lost to Ajagba, who would be a worthwhile opponent, and Torrez who just got iced by Sanchez. He's also ranked down at 14 by the WBC, below a few more worthy contenders. Hate that his career doesn't match his skillset.mickey1975 wrote: ↑29 Aug 2026, 08:57They're mentioning him as a Kabayel opponent so it all makes sense.TheLeprechaun wrote: ↑29 Aug 2026, 08:31 As for Moses Jolly, I took a look at him and he is winging a lot of punches in with a porous looking defence to say the least.

He got the draw in the end fair play to him.
