Shavkat Rakhmonov: It’s 'Kind of a Shame' for Kamaru Usman to Request Title Shot

It's kind of a shame to duck Ian Garry who called you out

Shavhat is one of my favourite fighters right now. Definitely top 3 p4p imo.

I just watched a little to see what Usman had to say. Those 2 seriously shouldn't be podcasting. Lol, will check out the one you mentioned.

It's hosted by Moicano and Burns. They are funny as fuck while also being able to break down fights fairly.

Agree with him but Usman's 0-3 has asterisks against it. He was highly competitive in all three losses.

That's not an "asterisk," that's just called losing

Why do people keep insisting JDM is close to a title shot? He's had two split decisions in his last 3. One over Kevin Holland (not that terrible) and the other he went to a split a year ago with the #60 ranked WW. If you can't decisively beat the #60 guy you have no business in a title fight.

Because how you win doesn't matter and your decisions were jokes? JDM should have took all 3 rounds over Holland. You could maybe give Kevin round 2, but consistently terrible judge Michael Bell gave Holland round 1 as well, which was a joke. And Haffez only took round 1. There is minor argument he took round 2, but an even bigger argument that JDM got a 10-8 round 3.

If someone thinks those fights weren't decisive, they have no business analyzing fights

If you give Hafez rounds 1 and 2 and JDM a round 10-8 round 3 that's a draw. That's a draw over the #60 ranked WW. Not decisive. Shavkat wouldn't have a problem beating the #60 ranked WW. Usman wouldn't have a problem beating the #60 ranked WW. Garry wouldn't have a problem beating the #60 ranked WW. JDM is going to catch a loss here soon enough. The guy is not champion caliber.
