When is he fighting next?I can't wait to see him fight,always in a good fight.:good
Gevor is in a good position with all sanctioning bodies.
I've a horrible feeling he might be made mandatory for Abraham's IBF belt at some point.
He'd ranked 4 by the WBA however, I'd love to see Sturm-Gevor if(when) he beats Sato!

You heard anything particular about the armenian?
Why would it be a horrible thing?The first fight ended brutally but it was close till then.
Indeed Sturm vs Ghevor would be good.Sylvester,Zbik anybody.Golovkin is still learning.
Because I don't think he would ever beat Abraham. As that fight progressed he took more and more punishment, and he's the toughest guy I've ever seen take on AA. Certianly he's taken more clean power punches than anybody else without going down. And the ending was brutal, I wouldn't be surprised if that mentally scarred Gevor going into a second fight. Not one I'd prefer to see!
If Sturm is not going to unify belts he could at least give Europes best a shot instead of poor looking Japs. Sturm-Gevor is a pick'em fight.

Golovkin vs. Gevor could be a very good title-eliminator...

I'm a little afraid Sturm might be able to outbox him but then again it is Sturm.....and Asikainen was suppose to do the same too....
Anyway I don't think he himself would go for Abraham again.
This guy reminds me(obviously a poor man's version) of LaMotta.Can't but be a fan.The fire in his eyes with Abraham and Asikainen is hard to see in other fighters.

Too early for Gennady me thinks.......
I like Golovkin but I don't know. Simms to Gevor at this stage is still quite a steep progression I think.
Perhaps he could fight Castillejo. That guy is tough but does not have too much left. I'd even prefer Sylvester for him. I rate the Armenian higher.

Have you still got a link to Gevor-Asikainen. I lost it and I must see it again.

Barely found it.Would you like me to send it?Btw it is on youtube.

Nevermind I just found it on YouTube.
Gevor is SMALL for a middleweight.

Nevermind I just found it on YouTube.
Gevor is SMALL for a middleweight.
Well he did start as a JMW if I recall,those fights with Konecny were at 154(I think)......
He is pretty short(5'8ish) and stocky.Does he have weight issues at 160?You know anything.
Another guy I'd like to see him with(altough just for entertainment not anything else) is Karmazin.Roman would be a good one for Golovkin though.
The ring looks huge too, clearly they wanted every advantage for Asikainen but Gevor chopped him down!
I doubt if he has problems. If he does hes in trouble because he's no super middle! I'm sure he's fine at 160 looking at his frame, he's got a style that helps him make use of his size.
Karmazin is damn near done! A win over Bronco McKart ain't pulling up any trees. Getting owned by Bunema was terrible and really put into perspective when Martinez did a job on the latter. Karmazin was an excellent fighter but wasted his best years unfortunately.
Castillejo would be the one for Gevor. He can be outboxed, so it should showcase Golovkin's technical ability. Also he's an old man now, but he's tough and should test Golovkin or at least give him rounds without being a huge danger. But he can punch a little. Overall a good test IMO, Golovkin stops him mid rounds.

Exactly,Gevor's style is good for his size.
And yes Karmazin is done.I thought he would be retired after the Bunema fiasco but Bunema was on a short role then.I didn't even see the McKart fight.
Not sure if Castillejo still wants to fight,he has been hinting at a retirement for at least 4 years.
Castillejo has a fight lined up. And I doubt if the Spanish warrior would refuse one last payday to try and upset the young man.
Gevor a little hurt in round 4...ouch.

True,Castillejo would take it for sure.But he would try like the warrior he is....and fail like the shot fighter he is.
Well he isn't supposed to beat the darling of European boxing prospects, is he? ;)
That's not in the job description.
We don't need another Ramirez on our hands.
catasyou
03-12-2009, 07:24 PM
I doubt he was supposed to beat Sturm either.
Speaking off.....Ramirez is defending his title soon.I wonder if I will be able to see it,I like the guy.
I'm starting to like Golovkin even more than I liked and still like Alexeev. Maybe I'm putting a curse on him!
His defence is a joy to watch at this level. Hopefully it will stay that way at the top level, and not unravel under pressre as Alexeev's did!

Gevor a little hurt in round 4...ouch.
I gotta say, as a Finnish Asikainen nuthugger, that I think heīs the 3rd best puncher in the division, right after Abraham and Pavlik. No wonder Gevor was hurt, despite of his iron chin... but he had great recuperation powers and came back soon. Amin recuperates poorly from punches... and he has no inside fighting skills. Neither had he met any southpaws in the pro ranks... Gevor was bad for him and he was doomed.
Still, it was a great fight.
I hope Gevor fights Sturm or Castillejo. Would be GREAT fights.
His mandatory with Spada is a useless one... I wonder wheather he will keep his EBU title and defend it at all against such an Italian gimmie fighter.

bump
any news? doesn't the EBU have mandatories for him?
Spada is Gevorīs mandatory, and their purse bid deadline is in one week.
Gevor wasnīt too excited about the European title, he saw the Asikainen fight as an eliminator for the world title.
So, it remains to be seen, wheather heīll defend the title at all.
In a way, he should, because Spada, for some damn reason, is ranked very high, and Gevor would boost his own rankings by beating him. And he would surely beat him. Actually, Gevor might become Pavlikīs mandatory after that win, if Universum could somehow fix this fight as a WBC eliminator (Spada is WBC # 1).
Something is weird around Gevor - he had 7 months of inactivity before the Asikainen fight, and now, 5 months after that fight, there is no date booked for him. Why is he remaining so inactive? Are they just waiting for the world title opportunity, or is Gevor having some injuries?
Voluntary defence against some guy from the back end of EBU ratings wouldnīt surely be too difficult for him, and Iīm sure Universum could fix voluntary defence, if they would want to, while the Spada negotiations are on. Why doesnīt Gevor defend his title and keep himself active, when he has the chance?
I hope Khoren can fight Felix Sturm. I'm a big fan of him, he's a short dude but he comes to fight. He has aggression, some power and he's a good body puncher. If he can get inside, past Sturm's jab, he can take the soft German into the trenches and possibly win a world title. And I'm sure he'd be a better champ!
I don't really want to see him against AA again. He did okay for a long period, but towards the end he was getting bashed up and sustained a lot of punishment. I think it would be the same against Pavlik if not worse because of Pavlik's work-rate.
If he must fight Spada its a good fight for him.

Agreed man,Spada would be decent but Sturm would really be good.
If he is as motivated as he was with Asikainen I can't see Sturm beating Khoren.

:good good info
Gevor vs. Sturm - Nuremberg Race Track, 11th of July!
Spada vs. Zbik - Also on July in Germany. For the artificial WBC Interim belt...
This means that EBU belt will once again be vacant. Top contenders for the vacant belt are Sebastian Sylvester, Mahir Oral, Amin Asikainen and Dmitry Pirog.

Sturm vs. Gevor would be a great fight but itīs not official yet. Would be good to fight a Top 5-10 guy after Sato....

Gevor TKO 9
Yeah,hopefully he puts Sturm to sleep.:good:bbb
Sturm canīt deal with Armenian toughness for 12 rounds.
I am sure of that.
He will win some rounds, but for every round, he tires, while Gevor mercilessly stalks him.
Btw, can you believe, that Asikainen was leading Gevor 57-55, 57-55 and 58-54 at the time of the stoppage?

Gevor is on the same level like Abraham. He was leading on points when he was hit by Abraham with a murderous uppercut. Gevor is the most dangerous opponent which is available, IMHO its excellent matching. Respect to Sturm for facing the tough Armenian!

Sturm vs. Gevor *is* official according to Universum web site!!
I so hope Gevor knocks that bitch out, that would be awesome. :thumbsup He won't get a decision anyway because Sturm is Universum's darling and Gevor is usually a undercard type of fighter, not really well-known/popular.

No way Gevor wa sleading on points.After 6 rounds it was just one way action for Abraham.

Destroy him Khoren!!
Wow,really?I thought Gevor was in the lead easy.One judge actually had Gevor winning ONLY the first round, 10-8. He had the fight 58-54 for Asikainen after 6.
If Asikainen had made it through round 7, the fight would have been tied on two cards, and Asikainen would have still been leading on the third card.
I had it even 56-56 after 6. Both won 3 rounds and were counted once.
I donīt think Gevor was leading after 6, but he surely would have been leading in my card after 7th...
