Akavov probably beats Falcao

Falcao's are bums, like most Brazilian boxers

Isn't Falco kinda old? He needs to be thrown in the deep end soon, see if he sinks or swims

He just turned 31 how is that kinda old for a middleweight he's 6 months older than Canelo.

Interesting fight. Falcao hasn't fought anyone of note and almost all of his wins are against suspect domestic competition. Akakov isn't a world beater but he will put forth his best effort. Between his losses to Saunders and Andrade, you get an idea where he stands; Good enough to give top guys a tough fight if they don't take him seriously. I'd probably favor Akakov in this one.

Yep, bummy enough to lose to Akavov imo.

Lol if you want to bet points we can this is the same Akavov who barely won a SD against Josue Obando in an 8 rounder. The same Josue who Falcao made quit on his stool just a few fights before and Esquiva was the first person to stop him after he had already fought decent punchers like Korobov and Centeno.

I don't give a damn what country he's from like you guys basing his talents just off the fact he's Brazilian. He's not Conceicao he actually has good skills as a professional seeing as they were both talented amateurs but Robson turned pro too late and seems to still fight like an amateur. Falcao has a good right hook as a southpaw and is giving good work to guys like David Benavidez and Bektemir Melikuziev in the gym I wouldn't be surprised if he stops Akavov.

Bryan Lua/Frevian Gonzalez will be a fun fight but it’s a 6 rounder and likely ends in a split draw

Thought he was older, like 34 or 35
