Grigory Drozd vs. Ilunga Makabu

[Freedom]

This is an excellent cruiserweight matchup.

The Moscow card will be a very good one, with Lebedev, Kudryashov, Chakhkiev, Povetkin and others:

[La Cucaracha]

Excellent fight Drozd should prevail as long as he doesn't get clipped

[Slick45]

Makabu is patient and has good execution. Those left uppercuts are concussive and precise... I think Makabu might stop Drozd

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

I've been trying to catch up with the cruiserweight scene but I appear to have missed a hell of a lot.
Must try harder.

Me too, I'm lost on the cruisers lately. Makabu is the guy who knocked out Mchunu(who looked very good) a while back in South Africa, all I can find is a grainy clip of the knockout. He's a southpaw with a pretty wicked left uppercut it seems, and I always like to root for lefties who can punch, they make for fun fights.
