    Hes exciting to watch. Very intense and physical with heavy hands. Fearless. Once he reaches the level to take on contenders (arguably soon) then there could be some great scraps on the horizon.

    I think Nikita beats Mahoney next week but needs another one before having a crack at a world title. If he fights another eliminator before the year is out & wins, presumably he will have earned a world title shot. I've thought in the past that his ceiling is fighting for a world title. It will be a significant achievement for him if he can get there. If he can, let's see who it's against. Beanstalk & Boots is Murderers' Row. That soft Pommie IBF champ would be nice, but presumably he will get fed to Boots before Nikita gets a crack.

    The pom would be a good one for a title crack, but he's far from a pushover. Murderer's Row is going to take a special fighter to overcome. Fundora opened my eyes the way he did a job on Thurman like Bud did to Spence. He has improved a lot since the debacle with Tim.

    I didn't rate him at all and thought he was a knock out waiting to happen with no movement. The last few fights he has completely changed. You would think it is another person that looks like him in the ring now with his defence, movement etc.
    I think tha's what ruined Zeraffa, he thought he would just have to throw a right hand or 2 at Nik and the fight would be over.
    Then he realised this guy is now different with defence, also has speed and hits like a truck so he wanted out ASAP.

    He's not ready for the world stage and may never be. He still brings it every fight and is a likable enough guy. Draw was probably the best result for both parties as they will line their pockets again in an even bigger domestic clash with the winner getting the title shot.

    Yep he is also very active that was his third fight this year and I am sure the rematch will be before the end of the year.
