Alright, how many times do we have to read a fighter's comments from the post-fight interview transformed into a "new article"?

Murtazaliev Appears to be a class act on top of planting himself as a real threat at 154.

Let's hope so.
Either Zoo was THAT bad or Murtazaliev really was THAT good.
I would think Murtazaliev wants to be seen as that good; therefore, why not build Zoo back up a little bit, post KO?

When a media outlet feels the urge to fill up some dead air, that's what you get.
Fresh ideas and the articles to convey them cost money, so fluff is what we get much of the time.
I'm mostly here for the message boards anyways

Both of these guys seem like class acts and that should be held up as an example to younger fighters.

There were two clear differences between Tim and Bakhram - that left hook and Bakhram's chin. I have watched the fight three times now and I can tell you Tim landed his fair share of heavy blows that would have hurt most other fighters, but Bakhram took them all in his stride. They also really practiced that left hook specifically for Tim and it paid off. Is he going to look that good against somebody else? My guess is he smokes Fundora and struggles (like everybody else) against Crawford but I am not sure if Crawford will fight him as he is chasing only big money fights at the moment.
