    That's one brittle chin.. Granted Sokolowski is a solid journeyman and better than his record suggests, but getting stopped by him like that is pretty bad. Wonder what the odds were for this one? Carter had 2 losses(1 a DQ) going into this, surely he was a strong favorite. Sokolowski is a live dog against the low-mid tier domestic level heavyweights - going to be worth throwing a couple of bucks on from here on out.

    Anyone knows who Wlad is sparring? Saw pictures of him with Duhaupas, didn't recognize the other guys. Pictures on Facebook.

    Thanks, good info, and both AJ and Wlad seem to have a good selection of sparring partners.

    Excuse my ignorance, but why do HWs often spar with people from many weight divisions below? Is it just to get rounds against a faster opponent? Max Bursak is a MW/SMW, you would think that he'd be getting hurt even in sparring.

    I think that is due to styles they possess.
