Re: Heavyweight Fight Schedule
Abdusalamov is PRIMED for a loss....the guy is a puncher....for a Muy Thai fighter, but for a heavyweight he's nothing special and his defense sucks...he never moves his head....EVER. I would put Wilder or Banks or Mitchell or Hanks....any of the Americans can beat him.
