    ...someone who is 2-1-1 in his last fight. The guy lost all 8 rounds in his fight against Zuri Lawrence.

    I've not really seen this guy fight. What's the lowdown? I know he beat Williams etc but saw highlights of that and it was so long ago I can barely remember how this guy fights.

    He's a great worker but seems to blow out his arse after the 8th but keeps pushing. I think he is a bit lucky he hasn't met a heavyweight recently who can match his work rate. Pianeta was lucky to get the Draw off him as he died off big time towards the end.

    I don't think he deserves the shot but he is there. One thing Sos will bring is non stop pressure but no real bite or thought to his work. I think Vitali will mess him up pretty bad

    Sounds like we can expect another Vitali-Peter type fight?

    Non stop pressure means Peter or Arreola part 2 if his chin stands up.

    You've got to have a decent chin to take Vitalis punches.

    To be fair, he tried to make a fight with Haye then Valuev. Neither wanted to fight him.

    Yeah i think he is made for Vitali at the minute. Not 100% sure about his chin i might be making it up but did Williams not have him on the ropes hurt?? Can't think about the Pianeta fight either.

    I'll take a Vitali mid round massacre

    Isn't Zuri Lawrence the HW without a single KO to his name?

    Calvin Brock knocked him the **** out once if I remember rightly

    Yeah lovely shot, whatever happened to the boxing banker? He used to come in in shape as well.

    He retired didn't he? think he had eye trouble or something, he had some sort of degree to fall back on

    Just had a quick read on him, went for surgery on his eye and it ended up worse being blind in it. At least he had something to fall back on.
