    To be honest, after watching Mezencev tonight I am shocked how he lasted till 7th and 6th round in his two KO losses vs Tom Schwarz.
    This guy is just awful. How did he get that record is unbelievable. He doesn't look like boxer who can beat any top-300 HW

    Not only did Mezencev last until the 7th, in his first fight against Tom, he dropped Tom brutally, and almost KO'd him.

    Eye test? So basically repeating terms EPSN came up with? There is no such thing as a "eye" test when it comes to boxing. Tons of boxers have looked good knocking out cans. When you beat somebody who is legit then you can see how good they are.

    The eye test is a myth.

    I want to see Itauma fight Johnny Fisher, the Romford Bull, in his next fight. That would be interesting.

    Sounds like a joke but I remember him back in 2009 at the whistle and pig in grove. Tucking into a pizza and a Guinness on a Thursday.
    Just remember that as a lad who clearly won’t stay slim after his youth

    personally, i can gauge power through technique, the effect the punches have on the opponent, how it shakes their body, makes them act, etc... its not an exact science, just comes from comparing those same things across thousands of fighters and going with what the patterns tell you.

    I'm sure the roof will lift off ( partially) for the main, Frank.


    It doesn't take too many Brits to make a big noise.


    Is the missus ringside with you?

    I like Kabayel for the upset here. He was awesome last time.
