Buglioni/Chudinov for the title - WHO WINS?

[crusader]

LOL at the poll----I think Frank is going to prove a lot of people wrong.

Wise Guy for the win, then a massive all-Brit first defense against Markham.

I think people are forgetting just how cheap a WBA belt comes these days. Chudinov couldn't take out an old & ringworn Sturm who was north of his career-long comfort zone. Buglioni lost to Khomitsky, but is young and now finds himself in the position David Haye was in after Carl Thompson. Some painful but invaluable experience has been meted out, and now has that experience to draw on in any rocky moments during a title fight. I wonder how well Haye would have coped with Mormeck's assault without his Thompson and Mock frights?

Chudinov is hardly a killer, he's one of a million men holding a WBA belt. Buglioni outworking this guy in London is not an upset of Kell Brook or James DeGale calibre, far from it.

This. Frank has a very real chance in this one. Frank will be in better position now than he ever was before, in terms of being ready for such a chance.

Reminds me of David Walker getting his European title shot.

Hey youse think the wise guy wins this one ? Fuggedabout it ! This pretty boy mook is getting whacked !

Reminds me of ricky burns/alex artur getting their world title shots

I'm backing Buglioni. I did have a mind that saw sense but the clowns with the argument to the tune of 'oh Buglioni just had a draw at English title level but Chidinov just snuck past a former World champ, yeah, yeah but that former World champ used to weigh half a stone lighter, yeah that'll do, the English title level guy all the way!!!!' has really worked for me.

Looks like the game's up guys. Chud has opened at 3/10. Thanks to everyone who voted Frank anyway :) Hopefully 5/2 looks good to his fans.

The price on the stoppage may be tempting!

I hardly think so. This one has distance fight written all over it!

[mullenman]

Fair play to frank for getting this fight..

There is levels in sport and this is not franks level

He will be lucky to last six rounds and not a chance of winning

You fancy Bugaloni to win then?
In fairness FW doesn't put his fighters into world title fights unless they are getting the big bucks.
I can't see FW wanting to cash out yet.

[mustlogin]

Both guys are equally bad. No footwork, no defense, featherfisted... Definitely will go full rounds, with Chudinov throwing more punches and should win. But judges may give it to the homering guy.

[ScottDetonator]

I fancy Frank big time in this. Had his chin check and came back great in his last fight.

Chudinov lacks the power to make a serious dent in Frank.

Buglioni to win on a 'home-town' show ;)

[handsofstone]

I'm going for Buglioni in this one too,I'm surprised so many others do too,I don't think Frank gets the credit he deserves,his defence is awful for sure but he's must see TV, every time he fights he leaves it all in there,goes for the KO and always puts on a show for fans,because his defence is so poor we've had to see him take some heavy shots but he always comesback firing,even the Khomitsky fight he showed balls of steel,he delivers his shots well and is a spiteful puncher,he's got a good engine too

Chudinov was a clear winner against Sturm but Frank would've beat Felix too that night,Sturm still picks some nice shots but he's a lazy bastard who only works for the last 30 seconds of every round,Buglioni would be all over him,if Buglioni fights Fedor the way Eubank Jr fought his brother Dmitry did,make things uncomfortable and dont let Chudinov lead off then I'm picking Buglioni

[Bard of Boxrec]

I don't even know who's being serious any more

Well the people picking Buglioni obviously aren't are they?

YES HE CAN! BELIEVE!

Oh sorry wait I'm thinking of someone else

Handsofstone is confusing the fvck out of me and turning me into a believer!

[bruthead]

The bookies have dropped a bollock here. Chudinov got outclassed by Eubank and has never faced a proper super-middle like Buglioni before. Tell that mate of yours you don't really like to go big on the Wise Guy.

[Boxerbeetle]

OK now I have absolutely no idea who's being serious & who isn't.

[jameswilson]

Given that brut head has mixed up the two brothers it's obviously a given that he's on an organised p1ss take.

[Marlo Stanfield]

Frank is shit

[handsofstone]

For the record I'm being super serial

[Bard of Boxrec]

Something mildly interesting.

Bet365 have waited a bit before releasing their price on Chudinov, and the price they've decided on (1/4) mirrors the proportion of this poll almost exactly, despite the fake votes. And the 3/10 that Paddy went with was roughly reflective of the proportion at that time. My theory is, there was a big poll staring them in the face on a boxing forum, and they used the information accordingly.

Moral of the story: In polls, vote for the opposite guy to who you think will win, STOOPID :x

Alternatively, noone should be talking about ANY fights on this forum, and mods should ban people should any talk about boxing come up.

[elephant man]

Chudinov easily. This is a mismatch. Frank is English level.
