    He's decent, he beat a local lad to me, Jack Flatley, last time out on Flatleys home turf. Flatley was 15-0. He's awkward and could frustrate Fowler, but if he Fowler starts fast he could get to him early.

    True but that Italian cat beat that UK cat a few weeks ago and the difference in rank disparity was similar, he cost me a lot of cash losing. So it happens.

    I’d have to go back and look it up but he had an Italian last name but fought out of the UK. He was like a 2-1 favorite and on paper it looked like a mismatch. He lost a SD that should have been a UD. He got beat pretty easily but the judges shockingly had him up after 8 rounds announced due to WBC open scoring. The hometown dude was about to get robbed in his own country.

    Yup. I even broke down footage of their previous fights and couldn’t understand how Bellotti was a small favorite.

    Haven't seen anything of this opponent but a podcast I listened to the other night said this could be fight of the night... ???

    Seen he has beat Jack Flatley which is a decent win.

    I watched the fight with Flatley and he won cosily enough. He didn't use his size very well though to control distance and kept standing in the pocket literally going toe to toe. Will be curtains against Fowler if he adopts them tactics again.

    With no KO power I wouldn’t imagine he will want to trade with Fowler
