Sky go on about Leeds but listen to the crowd with the drums for a fight 4th on the bill.

Muts be an intimidating place to fight. Be very interesting if they can get Wilder over considering Povetkin does the business later.

I tell you what, Meroro didn't do too badly there. He landed the straight right down the middle with consistency & seemed to be frustrating Kudryashov inside.

Thanks for saying this was on BN - didn't realise

& again, Meroro made Kudryashov look slow & clumsy there. The right hand is just slotting in.

I might have given him that round.

Sod it.

19-19.

Is Kudryashov a 1 trick pony? I've never seen him box before.

No but still has lot of limitation. Struggles with movement and control of distance.

Perfectly put mate.

Last thirty seconds might've got that one for K.

29-28 Kudryashov.

Im waiting for a bomb

Sheer power & size of K getting to M now; but a decent mover with a good jab would fvck Kudryashov up for days imo.

3-1 DK

Jab is painfully missing rom Kudriashs arsenal. Other guy is holding like fornicate.

DK getting to him more in that round.

Charr-Leapai wasn't as bad as I thought it would be,both guys defence was non existent its just a pity Alex didn't throw his hands,the odd time he did,he landed,its just a pity that it was1 haymaker a round,some solid shots landed by either guy,but easy win for Manual

He would have to, as he's at least a division smaller.

4-1 DK

& double left hook & goodnight.

Kudryshov has to be the hardest puncher at Cruiserweight surely. Be very interesting when he steps up properly. Then again his opponent before this went the distance with the former WBC champ twice and he streamrolled him.

Doctor is missing as well. This is Russia!

Not one of his better performances but Meroro was holding constantly and not willing to engage much. There aren't many standout boxers near the top of the division (Drozd may be the best) so I'm not sure who the one to beat him is.

Scary power from Kudryashov,just imagine if someone taught him how to box,he's as limited a fighter you'll see but my what power,fair play to Meroro,he had some nice moves and was arguably winning but that 2nd KD was like Golovkin on Macklin

Always like to see the big guys finish fights with a bodyshot,its a rare sight

Maybe he's been concentrating too much on his power and not the basic's in training.

I think he has a decent upper body movement and a good block.

Still I am not sold on this guy. Step him up and we will see what is he capable of. Commentator said after this win he should gain a high rating with WBO where Huck is the champ.

Eh, I struggle to see how Meroro was arguably winning that, though he did frustrate Kud at times.

Seriously unimpressed with Kudryashov there.

Very basic and very crude. He tried a bit of upper body movement from the 2nd on but he struggled to land cleanly for most of the fight.

There is plenty of talent at CW: Hernandez, Lebedev, Huck, Drozd, Dorticos, Makabu, Usyk, even the next guy Chakhkiev. I think Kudriashov is far down in the pecking order.

And which of those fighters has standout boxing skill? Maybe Drozd and Usyk, though the latter hasn't fought anyone and struggled with Danie Venter.

Kud fought a guy who was there to spoil and I think he's better than what he showed.

Oh no look who the ref is
