However, I have a feeling Khamzat will underestimate Usman’s punching power. If he tries to stand and bang with Usman like he did with Burns, he is very likely to get knocked the F out like Jorge did | |||

The big thing working against Volk in their re-match Saturday, is now Islam will have Khabib in his corner as his coach
I heard that immediately after their first fight, Khabib called Islam and said he was very critical of Islam’s performance. And Islam said basically “Brother, you were not there. This was the first time you weren’t in my corner” Having Khabib as a coach is pretty huge, he is a better coach than Javier Mendez and I think everyone knows it https://m.youtube.com/watch?v= | ||

Pff, khabib was supposed to be retired for good from competition and coaching! You can't just bring him back in, that's almost cheating.
It's definitely gonna be an interesting rematch though. I feel like Islam's mental state is gonna be a lot different and less confident than it was going into their first fight. Although that might also make him focus hard and perform better, knowing that volk is actually a danger to him. Speaking of cardio, volk seems to have some of the best in the sport. Islam looked exhausted after their first fight, not to mention bruised and bloodied. Volk looked more like meh... that was it? This guy is the big deal? Usman has always seemed pretty solid cardio wise, but he's almost never in these short notice fights. It's hard to know what khamzat's gastank is like cause his fights usually don't last more than two rounds lol. Burns was just a slugfest they both looked pretty destroyed after that fight. | ||

Yeah I feel awful for volk, he was visibly distraught at the post fight press conference.
Headkick KO's are kinda lame sometimes. Like, their first fight was so close, then in the rematch islam catches him in the first round and now they'll probably never fight again. At least he's still the featherweight champ, I don't see anyone coming close to beating him at his normal weight class anytime soon (I prob just jinxed it). Usman was at least kinda close by the end, there was debate over whether it should have been a draw. Khamzat seems to just floor it in round 1 and dominate, but then he kinda fades if he can't get a finish in that first round. If it had been 5 rounds I think usman could have pulled it off. I wish islam was a heavier dude so we could see him fight khamzat some day heh. That would be wild. | ||

UFC Champion Francis Ngannou shocked the world, especially the pro boxing world, yesterday when he arguably beat the best heavyweight in the world in his very FIRST pro boxing match ever
Announcer said it best by “hey when you can fight, you can fight”. Francis gets robbed in the decision and even Mayweather Jr and Canelo both said Francis won https://m.youtube.com/watch?v= | ||
