Durandola was a real physical specimen, he looked the epitome of potential power.

I though Ola was looking for a way out about a minute before he won; was the Russian clean out or was he taking the count with his eyes shut?

i sparred with durodoa all thru camp.
the training was very hard he worked well and pushed himself. i am not a pro i just enjoy boxing and can box a little bit for me its good experience.
either way his real work was with gold mealiest from the all african games super heavyweight eye ajagba and his brother heavyweight both gold medallist last months or so. they gave him hell and prepared him for the toughness he required.

he is fit strong can punch and has a great chin so kudryashnov had to be a bit more intelligent when you box durodola like mhcunu was i also just box around him no way you can over power him he's very tough. both good fighters and will move forward doubt there will be a rematch unless the money is good, as it wasn't great this time around but the satisfaction came in pulling the upset. great fight

I think you're being a little too modest, if you could hang in there with Duradola you must be very capable. I have never seen him before but imagine he will be in the mix for world titles, it takes some guts to go to Russia to face a favoured Russian knock out specialist and do them in. I really hope he does well.

Card of the year so far.
Great day of boxing.

Povetkin looked awesome. I still worry about his size against a Wlad, Fury or Wilder as Wach jab was impressive in the first round.
Easily the second best heavy in the world.
Povetkin-Wilder in Russia has the potential to be a huge worldwide fight.

Lebedev. Great performance showed maturity and punching power.
Would love to see the division unified and I can only see him or Drozd doing it.

Chakhkiev- what was he thinking. I wrote a article a few months ago saying he was starting to mature and he could start to become a force.
He decided to throw punches like a mad man against a guy with a proven chin at the top level. In preparation they should of realised that doing that against Ola is suicidal.
Great punches from Ola to finish it and a Bravo for taking some huge punches.

Kudryashov- Always looked like he could get exposed due to the fact he'd looked one dimensional. I thought it would happen at a higher level though. Needs to work on his footwork and more importantly his defence. He has a great chin but he still needs to improve his defences. The power is obviously there. Great win for Gods Power though.

Bivol-Looks a great future prospect. May have to be pushed quicker though due to some of the above losses.

Great show, Great entertainment and a great night for Nigerian Cruiserweight Boxing.

stylistically it was a good opportunity for durodola. someone who will be there exchanging with him. that swung the fight in his favour as he is quicker and fitter than kudryashov. in sparring if you box you are better equipped to outboxing him as he much prefers a pocket fight. drodz better do his research as i don't think kudryashov did. either way we will get durodola ready to cut the ring off.
