Is this the best prospect in boxing?

Henno30 · 08-11-2013 11:33am #1

19-0. 19 first round knockouts.

He has never fought anyone who has lost a fight so that is fairly impressive, but you would still have to question the level of opponents he is fighting over in Yemen. Wouldn't be to up to date on minimumweight though!

Henno30 · 08-11-2013 12:43pm

Ranked just outside the top 10 by boxrec. His brutal, methodical body attack is the most impressive thing about him. Considering how much harder it is to score knockouts in the lower weight classes it shows just how heavy handed he is as well.

Johner · 08-11-2013 12:47pm

He's 40 next month.

Too Tough To Die · 08-11-2013 12:52pm

Very impressive.

The funniest thing is his comments on his own Youtube channel and videos; calling out Anthony Joshua as a fraud and copycat :pac:
has to be a piss-take though

Pretty cool that he only fights undefeated opponents. Compare that to Mayweather who has only taken two '0's in his whole career. Raymi has taken nineteen.

colly10 · 08-11-2013 8:50pm

It's an impressive record but from the clip it looks like it's down to the opposition. He seems to leave his chin exposed a lot relying on his head movement to get him out of trouble.
He got caught a few times there with little affect, I think when he steps up he'll be caught out for being so open

gene_tunney · 08-11-2013 9:22pm

....Is this a joke? He is terrible

I'm confused. He looks like a retard

No doubt in my mind he could carry that power with him up a few weight classes. Very excited to see what the future holds for him, the ease with which he took out a scary fighter in Dalbant suggests he could go very far. Granite chin too, he ate some bombs there and didn't flinch.

That was one of the most surreal videos I've seen. What the hell were they doing?!

Quotes from his Youtube profile:

Ali Raymi wrote:

Thanks Steven. People forget that power is generated from a healthy fit body, attacking the body destroys everything, Body assault remains effective vs bigger guys, I don't lose accuracy/range because of head hunting which works only against fighters within range. I am an indoctrinated body puncher its my war ideology, its my sophisticated defense/offense, I destroyed some fancy looking fighters and neutralized their jab/lateral movement by attacking their nerve system & paralyzing them.

I need to win a title first at 105 lbs, then I will use my status as a champion at 105 lbs to pressure other champions in other weight classes Rigo doesn't have enough reach to make his superb boxing skills useful against me. I am not going to even waste time to put on extra weight, once I win the first major title I will immediately start KOing undefeated champions from every weight class, Rigondeaux is the most decorated hence the most targeted, since he is more likely to accept my challenge

Here's another of his previously unbeaten 1st rd KO victims:

He's facing an unbeaten guy at bantamweight in his next fight. It's like the weight classes don't matter to him. Not surprising when you see him go to work though. A lot of people talk about GGG's body punching these days but GGG doesn't put 6 or 7 shots together like this guy does. He doesn't have the hand speed anyway. When Raymi goes to the body he's like a switchboard operator. Devastating.

Yeah, fair enough, he's got some holes in his game but that doesn't matter when you take in the full picture. It's not about doing everything by the book, it's about writing your own page and Raymi's doing just that. Go find a textbook boxer who's crumpled 19 consecutive opponents in the first round and you might be able to knock this guy.

Is this a joke?

He's all over the place fighting nobodies

He's ranked #11 on boxrec :rolleyes:

You go fight some 'nobodies' and get yourself ranked 11th in the world. Each and every one of his opponents was undefeated too by the way. Which is a strange definition of a 'nobody' if you ask me.

You have to remember that this is in the lower weight classes and these guys get little or no respect from the networks. Roman Gonzalez is one of the best ten fighters on the planet, and yet he's practically unknown because he fights at that weight. Look beyond the hype and look at the talent.

Alpha Dog 1 · 09-11-2013 4:17pm

That's the funniest fight I've seen all week.

badabing106 · 10-11-2013 5:10pm

He is fighting tonight. Writing himself into history if he gets 20 first round ko's in a row.

Is it PPV?

Frankie Lee · 10-11-2013 11:19pm

Most of the undefeated up and coming fighters he has faced have not got in a ring after he has destroyed them. His power must be something else. He will be into the top 10 with the WBO after his next KO1 and it will be great to see him bring a world title to his passionate Yemeni support.

Just saw on Boxrec that he's now 20-0. That's 16 fights in 2013, quite impressive.

Holy fu*k he did it!!! Another unbeaten opponent too!

If it wasn't for the problems with his management in 2011 he'd be top 10 p4p by now. It's going to be massive when he faces off with Chocolatito. And as much as I love Gonzalez I honestly can't see how he's going to survive against an opponent like this. He just blew a full fledged bantamweight out in the first round. No one in those weight classes is surviving this guy's power.

Henno30 · 11-11-2013 12:58am

Picture from outside the stadium today. The guy's a national hero already

He is going to be a hundred times bigger than Naz. Even more unorthodox, but with way more power.

Henno30 · 11-11-2013 2:41am

His twitter account is better than Fury's

@aliraymi

Undisputed champion = WBC+WBO+WBA+IBF
I accept nothing less than complete submission of my adversaries. Polytheism will not be tolerated

@aliraymi

@sweetboxing I will KO them all WBC, WBA, IBF & WBO, its all jokes and games. Until they get in the ring and feel the punches.

He also slated the IBO for not ranking him as highly as boxrec

@aliraymi

@PeteyProfit That comment is the reason the International Bum Organization only ranks South Africans, Hickup Budler will always be a nobody

This is one of my favourites

@aliraymi

@kylewilson1986 Boxing is dominated by outdated doctrines. I am the Tank and they are cavalry, I am the iron sword they are Bronze and stone

Get this guy on our TV screens now

Jaysus Henno, I normally like your posts, but while writing this thread you must have been on drugs!!

Originally a serious thread. Now you have realised the error of your ways and shamefully changed tack.

Henno30 · 14-11-2013 8:48pm

Facing Samson Dutch Boy 43-0 (36) next. Raymi will take his soul.
