Yusaf Mack via Dibella entertainment had begun to negoitate with Karo Murat via Sauerland to fight for the IBF eliminator 1 spot. Yusaf Mack is excited and ready for the challenge. Karo is a young and up and coming fighter who is undefeated. I dont know where the fight will be but as Mack's manager I would guess we are travling over the Atlantic.
I will be watching my tapes on Murat. Will keep everyone posted as things progress.
Murat is a dangerous fighter, he is always throwing something. His footwork sucks, but his pressure is very steady, I think Mack's defense will win the day, but he will need to stay on his toes.
Do you know about his power? I wonder how his chin is?
I've never heard of Murat, but if he fights like Killer says he does then this should be a good opportunity for Mack to show that he won't wilt under pressure as he has in the past.
I'd be very wary of trying to win this fight in Germany though given the long history of shady decisions there.
His power isn't that great, he's not featherfisted either, think Juan Diaz (not as quick of hands though) enough power to keep his opponent honest and an accumulation effect that must be avoided. He thrives on the inside which is where he is most dangerous. He loves to try left hooks and uppercuts to the body. On the outside I believe he could easily be exploited with a solid jab and lateral movement. His chin is pretty solid from what I've seen. That's just my observations, from bad streams of german tv. I know he is young and has great stamina, which could be an issue for Mack in the later rounds.Quote:

As long as Mack has solid camp and usese his God given talents there is no one that can beat him.
Well just to be safe, keeping Murat at range is probably a good idea.Quote:

This is a good match-up & a win will really put Mack on the map! Murat is a very good fighter but I think Mack is better all round. If Mack can deal with the constant pressure I believe he maybe able to score a late KO!
