Arslanbek Makhmudov as Ricardo Brown. Betting Tip for the fight

Current form

Arslanbek Makhmudov is like a tank that either sweeps away everything or breaks under the blows. In August, he was stopped by Guido Vianello in the eighth round, his second defeat in three fights. In December 2023, Agit Cabayel knocked him out, taking away the NABF and WBA Inter-Continental titles. Between these setbacks, Makhmudov knocked out Milyan Rovchanin in the second round. The 36-year-old Russian (19-2, 18 KOs) is pure power, 12 of them in the first round. Only Carlos Takam stood with him to the end. Having made his debut in 2018, he played only 56 rounds — a sign of his aggression, but perhaps also a weak jaw.

With a height of 197 cm and a 203 cm arm span, he dominated Rovchanin, Junior Wright, Michael Wallish, Takam, Pavel Shaur, Samuel Peter and others. The NABA, WBC Continental Americas and WBC Silver titles are in the piggy bank.

Current form

Ricardo Brown is like a Jamaican hurricane that has not yet encountered real storms. In October, he defeated Adam Kolarik by unanimous decision, dropping him in the final round. The 35-year-old fighter (12-0, 11 KOs) played only 25 rounds. He carried the flag of Jamaica at the 2020 Olympics and took bronze at the 2019 Pan American Games. At 201 cm tall, his arm span is unknown, but his knockout power is impressive, six in the first round.

However, his rivals were simpler than Makhmudov's. The biggest name on his list is Pavel Shaur, whom he knocked out in the second round. Brown, who lives in Canada, has not yet proven himself against the elite.
