On the undercard of the James Toney/Samuel Peter heavyweight rematch this Saturday in Miami, Florida, former IBF Junior Middleweight Champion Roman Karmazin (34-2-1, 21 KOs) returns to the ring against hard-punching James Obede Toney (21-2-1, 19 KOs).
there have been talks of him possibly fighting Daniel Santos in a title eliminator, should he be victorious Saturday night.
cheers for the info bro. Roman i feel will slot into the 154 devison. It aint over for him he is a good fighter. when things break up with shane and floyd etc. i think he will fit in nicely.
I think this guy is the dangerman at 154 for sure. I mean he dropped Ouma,not even Taylor could do that ,heck he could not even hurt Ouma. I'd LOOOOOOVE to see Roman fight Rivera,they are the 2 main dangermen at 154 for me.
The problem with Karmazin is he is so dangerous that no one will want to fight him since its a huge risk with no reward I bet you Spinks dosent want to hear a damn thing about a rematch.Quote:

I honestly would like Cory to get KTFO!Quote:

After losing to Cory Spinks there is nowhere to go but up.
Not too sure I agree with your thoughts on this... For one thing, I can almost guarentee you Spinks brought Karmazin his biggest career payday, and like you say noone else was eagerly awaiting a chance to fight Roman, nor was there anyone that he should have been chomping at the bit to fight.. Spinks should have been a good choice of opponent, which leads me to my opinion, which is that Karmazin fought like absolute shit vs SPinks and really deserved to lose . SPinks handled him pretty well in the early rounds, Karmazin gave away enough rounds in that fight to make a draw the best possile outcome he could have gotten imo... THe thing is man, fighters have to know what they are putting on the table before they take a fight, and they need to take every step possible to ensure that they will impress... Karmazin was a title holder being brought in to Spinks hometown to try and rebuild Corys career with a title at a higher weight class... YOu really think Karmazin shouldn't have known that he wasn't going to get a rematch if Spinks managed to take it? Of course he did.. He knew he had to win that fight, but he fought like dogshit and imo lost.. I don't know if he just looked better than he was against Ouma due to styles or anything else but I honestly don't think a whole lot of him.Quote:

Thats because it was aired the same night as the Mayorga vs Oscar fight. And actually The Garcia vs Rivera fight was a better fight IMO.Quote:

I don't he;s a great fighter either but I believe he has what it takes to beat Spinks and also,154 is hardly a great division imo!
I guess I am making too many assumptions on Karmazin because apart from those 2 fights,I have not really seen alot of him!
What's even funnier is that the big James Toney was actually skinny enough at one time to fight the small James Toney.Quote:
