    Strange to have boxing at a tennis venue but Monzon defeated Bouttier here in in 1973 and Cerdan defeated Williams in 1946. Allez les bleus.

    I like this choice of opponent for Yoka. Milas is undefeated and although he hasn’t fought for almost 2 years, he does have some impressive elements to his resume.

    potential banana skin?

    Good to see 2 undefeated heavies go up against one another. Milas with his out boxing, low guard style should suit the taller rangier Yoka. I see him winning comfortably.

    I am French and if it weren't for all the absurd laws surrounding the Covid I would probably have gone to see the fight.

    They're going to get weird clay powder all over their shoes walking to the ring. Yoka ud.

    Yoka should fight someone Like Chisora.

    Yoka is hiding a very fragile chin. Only a matter of time before it gets shattered.

    More of the same level of comp for Yoka. He needs to start stepping up.

    A lot of us have taken a liking to Milas, but I don't see him having anything to win this, unless he just turns out to have a great chin and be very gutty.

    Milas can box a little, and has a little power, but nothing wows you about him.

    In any event, good luck to him. I'll be cheering for him to shut me up.

    Wouldn't be surprised if Milas pulls the upset

    This fight will show who is on what levels. I think Yoka takes it but it may end up being a rough, tough fight for him.

    Not many men have stopped kingpin Johnson, I give milas a good chance here, he has a better chin than yoka and is quite exciting to watch. I’m worried about his inactivity though. His speed was one of his main advantages, who knows what he’s weighing from being out of the ring for so long?

    dangerous fight milas is decent enough to possible upset him especially with yoka chin/stamina issues could be a bad pick..
