ok both fighters are strong but where are the two best ones: Saki and Spong?
Man I go for Spong
Yes it’s true that in mma and boxing you can earn more but now Spong has not been fighting for six months (his last boxing match) and i haven t read any news for an upcoming fight.
And what’s about Saki?!?! He fought just once in the last 17 months!! It’s really strange for a kickboxer.
Do you think Spong could fight for a boxing world title in 2 or 3 years?
He is an excellent kick boxer but as a boxer still has a lot to probe in spite of having knocked out both but mediocre opponents during his two first fights. As you well know this category is very tough and he is a little bit old and just 6 ft 2 in which is no much if compared with all the other available contenders, some of them very good prospects, with much more experience.
He did only two fights this year and now is silent. To be considered for a title fight he needs at least 4 to 5 fights per year with good results to built up his career in terms of record and acquire a reasonable experience. In 3 years, almost “mission impossible”. I guess a dispute for a title is too late for him but a reasonable good career in boxing still quite possible with increased coming funds.
Nice fight good enough also for 3 starts with a winner that was a bit concerned about the punching power of his rival but with much better techniques than him. I’m not sure if the referee took a count after the knock down in the second round. If he didn’t he should find immediately another job because it was caused by an excellent head kick. Also, he discounted points to Cavalari for holding which in my opinion was quite wrong. Time for this referee to retire.
