but he hasnt had an amateur fight since the last olympics, so might finally be the end of the line for him there. he did have a pro fight scheduled recently that fell through last minute, seems like he's stepping up his pro focus even if slightly

Top Rank did a great job of promoting Jared Anderson, because he is an American heavyweight.

He signed with the wrong promoter. He perhaps should signed with Kathy Duva, who would have done the best she could for him, as she did with Kovalev. He might have gone to Australia, where the fans strongly supported Kostya Tszyu, or to Canada, where fighters like Bute and Beterbiev became very popular.

This is the solution to the problem. Put him in with Jared Anderson.

Maybe the amateur achievements are enough.
Opportunities in the pro ranks take ages to come about, years even.
Look at how long Whyte waited, and now both Parker and Kayabel are kicking their heels. I think Jalalov is going to age out of contention before he is in contention sadly.

The Big Uzbek is back in the Big Russia.

Two-time Olympic gold medalist Bakhodir Jalolov weighed 248.5lbs for his eight round assignment in St. Petersburg, Russia against local opponent Vitaly Kudukhov, who weighed 223.8lbs. The 6’7” southpaw Jalolov, 15-0 (14 KOs), an Olympic gold medalist in Paris and Tokyo, will be making his first pro appearance since his unanimous decision win over Ihor Shevadzutskyi in April. Kudukhov, 7-3 (3 KOs), is six inches shorter and, at 36, five years older than Jalolov. He has lost three of his last four fights, though they were all against fighters with outstanding records.

In the main event, Russian heavyweight Sergey Kuzmin weighed 244.9lbs while his opponent was 252.8lbs. Kuzmin, 19-2 (14 KOs), is seeking his fifth straight win after back to back losses to Michael Hunter and Martin Bakole, while Khalidov, 10-0 (5 KOs), is looking for his first significant victory as a pro at age 37.


The fights will be part of an IBA Pro Boxing event at the KSK Arena.
