Very boring to watch but it gets the job done

Someone who loves a back foot no power decision merchant style in any context shouldn’t complain about someone else doing it (but actually stopping guys)
Show me on the doll where Skye hurt you mate!

Look, she makes the most of her skills and boxes beautifully whereas Jalalov seems bored and stuck in first gear.

Jalalov is a male heavyweight among some very exciting fighters who can punch, yet he lumbers around doing the least amount possible.

Skye is Arturo Gatti next to your favourite Uzbek 'bin man'

Great then we agree we got a 2 Olympic champ who isn’t a bad test, already sounding better than most match ups
It's not about the match up or the test or Jalolov's credentials it's that he's BORING
That's the criticism

Of course he's good, of course he's a genuine test for Itauma, of course he might even win. But if he does it will be in this boring safety first pure boxing style which he is great at obviously but which people don't enjoy watching.

Thing is though if you win your fights . Its possible you can win a title , boring or not ask Johnny Nelson , and plenty of others . I d rather be boring and not get hit . Than say Fabio Wardley exciting and well remains to be seen how he ends up . But i,ll adknoledge the fans would rather watch Fabio

Jalolov looked poor on Saturday, but maybe that's what he needed to do to secure a big fight.

Jalalov was an excellent amateur but I don't think he's suited to the pros. You can dodge and avoid power much easier for three rounds with bigger gloves and amateur rules than you can in the pros.
I think Itauma would annihilate him after he actually spent several boring rounds chasing him. Not a fight that does anything for Itauma.
As an Aussie I would love to see Teramoana matched with him. Jolalov won over Teramoana at the Olympics because he was too experienced and didn't engage over three rounds. That will be impossible over ten rounds with lighter gloves.
Actually Jolalov would be a great fight for Teramoana when he steps up and fights someone with a pulse.

Jalolov was playing patsy, lekking possum.

Stinking the joint out could be an intentional ploy to scupper Frank in, match him with Moses as a name and easy scalp, only to show that he actually punches like a freight train and smashes young Moses deep into next week

You heard it first here
