Oleksandr Usyk v Stephen Simmons 23rd April in Kiev

Well he is the one taking punches so its his choice, I am sure he is much better positioned to see what his beneficial to his career than a armchair fan from the internet.

 

You'd have more luck trying to reason with a newborn baby than Terry.

Simmons is nowhere near prepared for this, but it is his career I guess.

 

Fair enough. But to me it looks like taking a big step towards journeyman status.
If D'ckinson can take him out, then you can bet the house the car and the dog that Usyk takes him out.

 

he made the decision becuase i believe he is afraid to lose to another domestic rival

maybe he is trying to pull another paul smith, get his **** kicked in and then claim he is world class because he lost to the best

 

Agreed but ****ens got knocked out by Galahad and still chose to box Rigo, fighters always believe they have a chance against anyone.

 

Didn't see as much criticism get handed to Jazza ****ens when he signed to fight Rigo.

 

seems to be a bit of a helmet

its his career,life and face lol

 

jazza didnt have any options at all, galahad beat him and he had no decent domestic fights on the horizon

mccarthy was mandatory for simmons and simmons vacted his title say ' he has bigger plans on the horizon' that would have been a good domestic dust up and would have got him more than likely a bigger pay day and better chance of winning instead of this fight

 

That's how I know you know **** all about Boxing, He was mandatory for the European title you div

 

Uysk is a KO machine. Not nearly the same.

 

simmons isnt even rated by the ebu you idiot

mccarthy was mandatory for the celtic title and that would have sold well in belfast or edinburgh

 

Jazza ****ens you moron

 

and who was he too fight for that title? some no mark eastern european. rigo was the best fight for him, its not for simmons

 

and he struggled with wadi camacho

 

Usyk is levels above Simmons I believe he is taking the fight because he is getting decent coin Kiev,Ukraine..... fellas there is serious money being used to back house fighters.The money as a B side fighter Simmons being the right opponent to showcase the A side Usyk will be better than people on this forum think.

I hope it will be short and not too damaging for Simmons as for getting more money for facing Tommy McCarthy at this point absolutely no chance.
