    Ilya Mezencev/Tom Shwarz on 14 nowember.Good fight.Clear victory for Tom.Too skilled for young Mezencev who has only one strong side to his game and that is power.Shwarz didn't show any vunerability in amateurs or professional's in chin department.

    Ustinov v.s Maurice Harris in Venezuela today.... If Harris decides to show up he could give Ustinov a couple of decent rounds.

    Always nice when two undefeated heavyweights go at it... My money is on Schwarz as well. I think his size and fundamentals alone put him in the top 5 at the German scene at the moment.

    Yeah, Bakhtov is one of the toughest tests for any HW prospect.

    The only fights I am looking forward to at heavyweight are Klitschko-Fury and Wilder vs the winner of that. Heavyweights are **** right now

    Yep...

    Effectively ended Kretschmann's career, gave Gjergjaj and a couple of others hell as well. Could either be an ill-fated move on Granats part facing him, or a great learning experience, we'll see. :good

    When I suggested Granat-Bakhtov a couple of months ago on this thread, Houmzz said Granat would get knocked out. We'll see I guess

    Not impossible.... He does still have a lot of flaws that need to be addressed namely his complete lack of a jab, and frailties defensively, a bit slow and plodding at times as well. Still I think with time he can improve and become a good HW. Very nice inside game and body punching for a man his size, decent power and so on. So far I don't see any signs of him having a weak chin, we'll find out against Bakhtov I guess.
