Not impressed by any of these two. Cruel lack of skills on both sides. CW division is so boring.
cruiserweight is not boring, maybe it is because promoters don’t bring enough spotlights in that division. in 05/29 there will be tony bellew against a good african prospect ilunga makabu, it will be an interesting fight they are both accurate and hit hard
It’s a chicken or egg problem. Could also be that nothing interesting is happening so promoters don’t bring the spotlights. But thanks for your recommendation, I’ll watch it for sure!
cruiserweight actually one of the most exciting divisions. they all fight each other its brilliant and thy are tough and good
