Sergio Mora thinks that IBF’s average junior weight champion, Bakhram Muratazaliev, will continue to be avoided by the best fighters on the Au side at 154 despite his impressive direct elimination victory for the 3rd round against the former WBO champion Tim Tszyu.
Mora is right. This Ko victory for Bakhram (23-0, 17 KB) will work against him so that one of the fighters on the list has agreed to face him because he is too dangerous, and none of them has shown Lots of bravery since they arrived at the top.
The Turki postman
Unless Turki Al-Sheikh is interested in Murtazaliev, as he did with Terence Crawford, he will continue to be avoided until he is shot or beaten by one of the candidates. Crawford has never been popular and avoided like the plague in the first 16 years. Although he won world titles in four divisions, the champions he beat were not popular.
Murtazaliev will need Turki to help him get fighters like Sebastian Fundora, Vergil Ortiz Jr and Jaron Ennis to fight him. Crawford does not fight him, he chooses to return to 154 for the same reasons as the others will not. Bakhram is too dangerous, especially for older fighters.
“I don’t care that he knocked out and beat Tim Tszyu. I don’t care that he is a dangerous fighter. He is one of those forgetable names, Bakhram Murtazaliev. He will be avoided by the big names, ”said Segio Mora to Chris Mannix YouTube Channel, speaking of the champion of the IBF 154 LB Murtazaliev, probably avoided by the best combatants of the average junior weight.
“He has a belt,” said Mannix about Murtazaliev.
“You don’t want to fight a guy like that, with a name like that, and with a style like that,” said Mora.
“With a title,” said Mannix about Bakhram having a title. “”
The value of the belt
The belts do not matter at that time of boxing. What is more important is the popularity of social media and the possibility of connecting with fans in interviews on YouTube. The Bakhram IBF belt could just as easily be a jewel, because it will not help it attract popular fighters to face it. He needs Turki.
“It happens in second position. It comes the third, in fact, “said Mora. “No one will want to fight this guy. So Duva will find it difficult to promote it and make it popular. Yes, they can take because of this belt, but it will not be against a name. »»
With the power and ability of Ko de Bakhram, it would be much more popular if his fights were shown on Dazn four or five times a year, but that does not happen. He can become popular, but he must be occupied and have a promoter who can fight for him
“Descend the ranking to 154 pounds and think about the fights you could make against guys who would find themselves with pleasure in the ring,” said Mora. “A Serhii Bohachuk would enter the ring with him. Vergil Ortiz if he won [against Israil Madrimov] Would enter the ring with him. Boots Ennis would put himself in the ring with him. »»
“No,” said Mora about her conviction thatnis would not fight Bakhram.
“Charles Conwell would enter the ring with him,” said Mannix.
“Sides A will not fight it,” said Mora. “The B-Side will fight it. They have no other choice.
