While ggg is figjting baggage handlers and fishermans, Quillin will be facing Konecny..
Thoughts?
If I'm honest, Crappy fight for Quillin on another undercard. Guy can't catch a break. Either he should leave GB & Al Haymon or move up in weight because GB & Al aren't doing him any favors at 160. He struggled against Rosado in October 2013; first fight back in 6 months and he faces Konecny with Stevens & Macklin calling him out. Maybe he's waiting on an undisclosed big fight?Quote:

Many Fishermen would kick your arse. An angry sea is a much scarier proposition than a ring full of Tysons. Meanwhile Quillin is treading water and rely on doggy paddling through the shallow end of the kiddy pool. Time to take those armbands (waterwings) off.Quote:

He's a decent European level boxer. He ain't world level.
Have never seen this Konecny, he's lost to the two names I recognize, seems like a really weird choice. Only upside to his record is that he's never been stopped, which could mean he'll give Quillin a tricky fight if he's got the skills. Then again he's 35 and hasn't fought overseas, could just be collecting a little retirement money.
He might not be shot but he is a step backward in competition. It's a stay busy fight.
So basically like Stevens or Adamu ;DQuote:

Stevens was sh-t :p a loss to Brinkley can do that and a string of KOs over limited fighters won't change that. Close to world level? Please :-\ I also doubt Adamu would beat Konecny ;D Tht's the reason ;)Quote:

Clearly, it's a stay busy fight until something big opens up. I just can't imagine what they have in mind. GB has nothing at middleweight. Maybe Canelo/Lara/Angulo move up?Quote:

I dont think its Stevens because Quillin will struggle to look good against him, like he did against Rosado and will add more value to GGGs stock then his. Again just to point out Konecny is a small light middle, Quillin a big middle. Its a complete mismatch.Quote:

No where top 10, maybe 15 - 20ish, you have the top 10 then -
Danny Jacobs
Billy Joe Saunders
Ryoto Muruta
Jarrod Fletcher
Matt Korobov
Lukas Konecny
Brian Vera
Anthony Mundine
Dmitri Chudinov
Sergio Mora
Dimitri Pirog if he's still fighting
Konecny is better than Rosado in my eyes :-\ I'm not saying I like this fight. I would have preferred Jacobs ;D
A few points for me, how can you have Konecny in top 10. Hes had 2 fights at middle against no bodies. Vera id have as borderline top 20. Pirog more or less retired. Mundine not in the weight class. Jarrod Fletcher is pretty average. Id bet a lot of money on Stevens if that was anywhere near a pickem fight. Murata probably is better but hard to give a top 10 ranking with only 3 fights. Dont see how you can have Chudinov in top 10.Quote:

That's not the top 10 :confused: those are the fighters I'd outside the 10 ;) read my post properly :-XQuote:

Mundines last fight was at middle :confused: Lemieux' opposition is on par with Konecnys ;)
I don't care what witness protection program they found him in...sure as Hell better than watching Mora's shuck & jive glove licking ass in the ring.
Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong guy, who has Konecny beat recently? How many fights has he had at 160? How much better than Rosado do you think he is? I think he's not close to as good as Rosado, but in any event, this is a crappy fight.Quote:
