Albert Batyrgaziev is the current 130lb interim WBA champion from Russia.

Albert fights in a southpaw stance with a very fundamentally developed style. Bouncing just in and out of the opponent's punching range uses the lead hand to probe and jab to the head and body, has a disciplined high guard, and moves back and forward when needed very well. The lead hand, jab, and back-and-forth bouncing help set up combos, and crosses and he knows when to escape.

After Tank vs Roach, let's see Albert vs Roach which is a good competitive bout.

What i mean is a story you’ve heard about a boxer outside the ring, whether it be a famous one or not

For example, mine would be the fact that apparently one night at a party someone bet some whiskey that Duran couldn’t KO a horse, so Duran got up, brought a horse, and knocked it out to get the whiskey.

So what’re some stories you know about boxers that you like?

Hi guys , I know this a potential fight that a lot of people want to see but I honestly think this goes one way easily. Nakatani as seen against Petch was very hittable honestly he got pieced a couple times and his foot work lacked. Bam was able to dismantle a fighter with great footwork in Sunny Edwards. Bam also has very good defense with the only slip up being against estrada which he finished in flawless fashion. He doesn’t get hit counters hard and moves extremely well. He would definitely land on Nakatani. His footwork would play the key role. Nakatani has been rocked before and cracked. I honestly think Bam takes this one for sure.

Nunez is a 27-year-old contender from Mexico with a record of 28-1 (should be 29-0 & if you check boxrex, it doesn't count his win over Shavkatdzhon Rakhimov) with a 100% finishing rate so he has bombs in his hands. He is ranked 1st in the IBF 130lb division and is currently the mandatory contender for Anthony Cacace’s IBF belt which I idk how that goes because Cacace is good himself.

When he's at the edge of range or the void as DJ says, he has a wider base and operates from there. He has an active lead hand, whether it’s to extend, probe or/and a versatile jab. When he's trying to get inside more, his legs are closer and he can mix between an olden day cross guard or high guard, using head movement from the waist to avoid punches while also throwing more looping shots to get something out of the opponent to work with and get closer much easier. He cuts the ring very well and once he has intent to throw punches to hurt you instead of setting up, it instantly does damage.

His only loss was a pretty bad robbery alongside terrible decisions from the ref where many of his punches were deemed low even though they weren't that hurt and the judges were pretty bad.

What could be his style? Could he have fought like Joe Louis and had at least a competitive fight with foreman? I can't wrap my head around as to why George Foreman was able to annihilate him so easily, was it because of his ducking motion? If so, how could he have fought Foreman.

Nick Ball is on a roll with winning the WBA Featherweight world champion title and making himself a big name for someone his size.

I seen him for the first time against Rey Vargas the WBC Featherweight champion(currently champion in recess) who was 5'10 with a reach of 71 1/2inch and Nick Ball was 5'2 with a reach of 65inch. Stats alone, it looks like Nick Ball should be fighting in Flyweight and Rey Vargas should be fighting in Lightweight but the bout happened and it took me by surprise.

The little man not only dominate Vargas, but put him down the canvas twice which made me upset that it resulted in a Draw. I'm happy that he got another chance of a title fight against Raymond Ford.

In truth, I never seen a smaller man like Nick Ball that can show domination in a weight class that is full of tall or strong opposition since Mike Tyson in his prime. Even Manny Pacquiao is not that short in his time at the Featherweight division.

I would like to see more of him fighting in the near future, but what about you guys? Do you think he's gonna be someone great? Does he has a potential? I wanna hear what you guys think below

Sultan Zurabek is a 28-year-old prospect from Kazakhstan who competes in the 130lb division and is currently ranked 4th in the WBA and 7th in the IBF with a record of 18-0.

He is a southpaw with a bladed stance, an active lead hand to probe and jab, he has great defensive reflexes, he is a high volume puncher who applies a ton of pressure. Even though he throws a lot of punches and applies a lot of pressure, he can time counters very well. Even though he applies a ton of pressure with a high punch output, he does time his punches very well with stiff punches that land and he cuts the ring very well. His high guard is still disciplined though and alongside his great defensive reflexes and counters, it isn’t easy to get as clean of shots as Zurabek.
