I feel the same way. I wish these 2 were fighting anyone else. I'd like to see both get a title shot pretty soon. I also slightly favor Shavkat, but I'm pulling for Neal only because I've been watching him fight longer and he's lost already.No! Don't want these boys to fight until someone gets a championship. These are my two favorite prospects and wanted to see them both rise above the crowd before an epic battle.
If it does happen, I think I favor Shavkat but barely. Only because Neil didn't look too good vs another versatile opponent in Magny. Shavkat has crisp standup but playing the standup game against Neal is dangerous as he can knock you out in moment via hands and legs.
I honestly think this is a huge test for Shavkat. Geoff was the first guy to KO/TKO Vicente. He put it on Vicente like we've never seen before.
Why did Khamzat get to skip over so many dangerous contenders? (That's a rhetorical question, I know why.)
i will answer your rethorical question
because this guy is better than almost all of them. same with khabib/khamzat/islam.......people know they are better than the top guys but nobody is eager to fight them.
so props to guys like gilbert burns and (perhaps) geoff neal because they take on dangerous guys that are/were lower ranked
