    Nikita is raw, powerful and as mad as a cut snake but Zerafa is still fairly slick and should have the ring smarts to deal with him. He may even toy with him but if Nikita lands early, who knows.

    Sticking with my original prediction of Zerafa to win. Probably on points.

    I know most are thinking the longer it goes it favours Zerafa but remember it was in the late rounds a badly hurt Jeff Horn dropped him hard and Nikita has a couple late stoppages as well.

    Depends how much punch resistance Zerafa has left. If none or little left i see Nikita blasting him out . If he has i see Zerafa i see him stopping Nikita mid rds.

    I wouldn't be the house on it but I think Zerafa gets the win.

    Zerafa's got this in the bag boys. This is Nikita's big step up, just another domestic name on the resume for Michael. Roll on Tim Tszyu vs Zerafa

    I still think that Tim would annihilate Zerafa within 5 rounds

    Have a theory this is Green/Briggs all over again and then after Zerafa gets KOd early the training camp KO stories come out.

    Yes I was about to say a lot of late money coming in for an early Tszyu KO victory. Did people hear something about his prep?!?

    How much has it had them correct the odds? Much change?

    Nikita down to $1.70 and Zerafa out to $2.20
    Nikita also down to $3 to win by KO

    Unless there is something we don't know, l reckon $2.20 Zerafa is very enticing.

    I don't feel Nikita is hungrier, i think he's along for the ride because he saw Tim making some $$. But I still hope he beats ratface. Yet i have $100 on Z @2.25

    How the **** is Zerafa only 33. I was sure he was almost 40. I remember Kid Chocolate koing him and getting **** for fighting a male stripper at least a decade ago.
