Thanks for the summary - would love to go to a show like this one day in New York.

muralimov is a fat out of shape cruiser. hope rossy wins

Rossy is a veteran and a b-class gatekeeper, Not a contender.

that said, he has lots of experience and is durable.

However , he must start as the underdog against Muralimov who is fat but strong and has an unbeaten albeit slow record which includes big ko's of Durodola and recently the tough Jason bergmann.

i imagine Akhror will stop Rossy inside 5

Well considering that Rossy outfought Glazkov in his last fight, it would be a great win for Muralimov.

joey dawejko beat him very recently

Yes he did in a close fight, but Joey has been fighting better of late and clearly Rossy was everything Glazkov could handle in his last fight. Rossy would be a much better win than anyone Muralimov has beaten to date and is a very good next step for him.

joey will fight amir mansour in MAY. that will be a good fight
