I'm very like Muriqi. It's very tough guy, fought against great boxers like Antonio Tarver or Clinton Woods, didn't lose by KO.I saw him, probably two times.

What you think, did he wins with Tarver and Woods ....

[galeranews]

Look, against Tarver it was a close decision, i had 115-113 for Tarver. I didn't see him against Woods.

Take off your home country fanboy glasses, Muriqi won maybe 1-2 rounds against Woods, as reflected in the scorecards. Fighting in another country had nothing to do with it, he's just a C level fighter....plain as that.

He'll never be in title contention again, and he sure won't get back in the "race" fighting in Kosovo against a 15-12 fighter that he already lost to by split decision 4 years ago. :lol:

I seriously doubt it:lol:

Anyway, even if they want to sign him, so be it. Every stable has a loser or 2 in it. It doesn't change the fact that he's just not that good and probably won't contend for a title again.

[PolishPummler]

Sounds like a good event all around.

Good luck to them:thumbsup

I would say Muriqi is a B class fighter at best.
But yes this is a great show, and look out for Sefer Seferi and Shala in the future (hot prospects)

Thankyou Artani

I wish them God Luck on Profesional Boxing

[Artani]

Well done Daja....

I hope Terbunja turns in pro after world champion in this summer. It will be good for him to not hurry and to win world gold after that to move in pro.

Steve Bujaj shows his albanians heart. He is young just 18-th and I wish him all the best. For him I will say to not turn in pro, he can win olimpic gold in the London 2012. This will be very good for all albanians, if USA will not calls him for olimpics he will have place to fight for Albania or Kosova.

Daja and the others albanians doing good promotion for our talents around the world. Please put this thread in the top of ESB ...
