    Branco UD. He'll keep Haapoja behind his quick jab and work in combinations.

    Guys 46. Fairly worrying sheerly on age if you're backing the man.

    The gambling odds aren't exactly a landslide in Branco's favor either.

    In this fight we will see what is the difference between finnish man and italian one. Finnish eat rye bread so legs will hold at the end.

    Yeah......Robbe Helenius posted a link about this fight going down this w/e.

    Im hoping Haapoja wins it (and he should IMO) and can move forward towards another CW title shot.

    Not saying he's a world beater, but there's room for him in the CW division to test idle titlists and send old timers home to momma.:think

    Branco swept the floor last night. He did what he had to do and kept Haapoja on a tight leash. That's how you win. Clear 97-92 (including final round w/stoppage and WBC headbutt deduction). Haapoja gave the limited amounts he could.

    Ageless man is Branco.

    Haapoja vs Chakhiev next..

    I must be realistic so I'm little scared how this will end.

    Juho is too tough for his own good so I hope he knows when to give up if it is needed..

    Why should Haapoja vs. Huck be a joke?

    Perfectly feasible cruiserweight matchup, and very TV friendly. Even with Huck being a big favorite, it wouldn't be any more of a mismatch than, say, Huck vs. Swamp Donkey Richards. :conf

    Especially if he upsets Chakhkiev, Haapoja wouldn't be the least deserving challenger by any means.
