“I see Shavkat Rahmonov in the 77 kg category as an opponent who commands respect and poses a threat. Belal Muhammad, Shavkat... I wouldn’t consider Ian Garry such a formidable opponent. Shavkat has proven in his fights that he is a real threat in the 77 kg category.

Sean Brady, I don’t see... Stylistically too convenient. Islam will outstrike him standing, he... will be left in Islam’s leg. He’s certainly tough, a good fighter, but I don’t see... Shavkat, Belal, and Maddalena.
