Firat Arslan vs Ibrahim Yildirim

Post by handsofstone »

52 year old former Cruiserweight champ Arslan squares off against Yildirim headlining a German card on DAZN this Saturday

All part of this Dream Boxing promotions, we had Sturm headlining a few months back and Huck was meant to be headlining last week before pulling out injured, now we've got Arslan

I saw Arslan ranked the other day. The cu nts been fighting fairly regularly for years and years going right the way back to his World title fights.

Absolute joke. Whoever allows these ex pros to punch lumps out of themselves in theirs 50's should be ashamed of themselves.

Unsurprisingly farcical, Arslan get the TKO in the 1st, about half a minute in, he caught Yildirim with a cuffing left hook, delayed reaction Yildirim just sort of collapsed, looked like he might have injured his leg, he couldnt get up and was counted out, bizarre

Arslan looked old (to me) when he fought Mark Hobson. Just checked and that fight was well over 20 years ago now :KO:

arslan is pretty incredible tbh, i know it's a bit farcial now but even just a few years ago in his late 40s/early 50s he was in good shape and could fight a bit, one of the most impressive ever for his age
