Dmitry Kudryashov will again face Olanrewaju Durodola.

The rematch will be held May 20 in Rostov-on-Don. Athletes will compete for the Silver WBC cruiserweight title.

In November 2015 Kudryashov suffered the first defeat of his career from the 36-year-old fighter from Nigeria.

2 big guys, 2 punchers, perfect!!

The type of fight what makes this division on top. Time to get Lebedev, Glowacki, Gassiev etc back in fights too.

I suspect Durodola has been paid well to take a dive so that Dima can save face after that being demolished in the first fight?

Very unlikely.

Duradola isn't Malik Scott.

Cant wait

Durodola was badly hurt, but he showed a lot of grit in coming through to turn the tables. It will be bombs away for sure.

Lol, I didn't watch the first fight at the time for some reason, nice reminder, Kud is so basic, he's actually got better variety of offence than i thought, at least if you're a target stationary or on the retreat and not throwing too much back at him, but if you simply jab and then throw some right hands behind it you can have him in a world of trouble he's got to be one of the worst defensive fighters in the world anywhere near the top level.

He also threw some really nice sneaky left hook counters off the ropes which I didn't expect, Kud had a nice little mouse under the right eye even after a first round mostly spent chasing Duradola and beating on him. I think one of those shots buzzed Kud a little in the second before he got the avalanche dropped on him

Kud was stopped on his feet, after decking Duradola big in the first, so that's hardly "destroyed".

More like "surprised".

Anyway, both Kud and Stvenson are the biggest punchers in boxing right now, and this is going to be a painful night for the Nigerian.

Hardly destroyed?!?!?

Kud wasn't much more than a few seconds from being beaten into senility, the ref was clearly wary to stop it in Russia and I thought he was going to wait until the dude was turned into Benny Paret. Which really wouldn't have been long.

Am i going mad or didnt Duradola fail a test shortly after this fight?Vaguely remember hearing it not long after the fight but havent really followed it.

I just thought that

Awesome rematch! Lose/lose fight for Kud among the fans who don't seem to realize every fight is a new fight apparently.

You are correct.

Kudryashov vs Durodola rematch set as WBC title eliminator

Quality, 1st fight was incredible, after Durodola won I felt the same as I did when I used to kill the top dog in a computer game

You're proving my point.

Destroyed is what Lemieux did to Stevens 3 weeks ago. When you get stopped on your feet it means you still had your senses.

Just because you lose inside 2 rds doesn't automatically implies you were "destroyed". It was a competitive, back and forth 2 rds.

I wouldn't want to be in Durodola's shoes right now.

Nonsense.

Benny Paret was on his feet whilst Griffith beat him to death, and that's where Kudryashov was on the way to.

Yeah that's what I heard too - and now it has vanished from the history books or what? Meanwhile Povetkin allegedly tested positive for one billionth of a microgram of some minor vitamin thing in one of mafia doctor goodman's phony tests and and Wilder and Stiverne go, "Omigod no we won't ever go near a dug cheat!"

Yeah kid

I always thought Paret was prevented by the ropes from going down

My imagination

Or when Enzo KO'd Ovill, maybe its a weight distribution thing because your kness cant bend forward, if you sag forward your legs can do nothing but stand

Kud was still conscious and I think up on his own accord, but he was obviously badly hurt and couldn't stop the shots from landing. If anything it was a late stoppage.

For me there's not much better than a bombs away KTFO artist, so I'm hoping he wins this time to regain some momentum. He's obviously a very flawed fighter, but I think he's right up there with the sport's best bangers; all stoppage wins, multiple first round destructions at an okay level, and even in the defeat he almost immediately had Durdola in serious trouble, whereas heavy handed Breidis needed to land much more frequently to produce the same effect.

Kudryashov looks like pure power and easy to defend and counter.
He plants his feet and gets the power off his upper body and thighs, it was done ages ago.

Some one is going to
