Thursday 21st August. ABC TV News saying that Malik Scott is Leapai's next opponent. Scott was iced by Deontay Wilder in the 1st round last time out. Hopefully he'll be competitive. "Scene" reporting that Scott is currently sparring with Klitschko in Austria.
this is not good for alex. he needs to avoid slick boxers like this. I see it ending the same way as when he fought Johnson. scott will have little problems avoiding alex's bombs imo. I hope I'm wrong though, cause alex can not afford back to back losses at this stage. why do they pick guys like this? there r plenty of other credible opponents that alex has a better chance against.
Horrible fight for Alex, out of the options I would have thought they would have, Malik is up there with the worst match ups. Wish him well, but he is in for a long night. Don't see Scott KOing him, but it Alex is going to eat a lot of shots over the full distance.
