Schaefer said that Hearn's US debut sold 1200 tickets, LOL.

 

According to latest from Hearn, Wilder/Joshua fight looks unlikely for the spring and thinks Parker is an option for Joshua's return in March. Hearn wants to make Wilder fight for the summer.

 

Dinu is the favourite in his next fight against Tereshkin. He has better footwork, faster hands, better power and that will win him the fight. I pick Dinu by KO. But has one big vulnerability which will not do him any good. Dinu has a vulnerable chin. It's clear that he has problems with guys who have a power, so this is his stumbling block to really make it to the top of the division. Almost all his loses in the amateurs are by a wide margin, so that gives you a clear indication of his chin. If he wouldn't be this pressure style puncher I could understand being outboxed but he is the guy who always comes forward, he just couldn't take their power and that made him move around the ring and throw a few punches and that made him lose all these fights.

Here is his stoppage loses in the amateurs:

2004-06-17 202 Denis Boytsov 202 Jeju KOR L by AB 3. This was a semifinal contest of 2004
World Junior Championships in Jeju, South Korea.

2002-08-?? +81kg David Arshba(This is the same guy which handed Kuzmin his only stoppage loss in the beggining of Kuzmin's amateur career) RUS Bogdan Dinu ROM RSCO 2

I think Dinu will be a contender for a short while in the future and after that will fade away.

And what about his other wide points loses? His career has stagnated because of bad decision making.

 

There will be decent heavyweight action on the December 22 card.

Alexander Dimitrenko will fight TBA for the IBF International Heavyweight Title.

Agron Smakici will face Oleksey Mazikin instead of original opponent Michael Sprott.

Experienced Nuri Seferi will face journeyman Gogita Gorgiladze in his heavyweight debut.

Adrian Granat will fight Irakli Gvenetadze in a tune-up before a fight with Otto Wallin.

And former bantamweight Danilo Milacic(He was a bantamweight back in 2011 when he took part in European Schoolboys Championships) will face soon to be announced opponent in heavyweight match up, in his pro debut.

 

The footage was part of Higgins' campaign that Joshua has a "glass chin."

He claims that more fighters have reached out to him, willing to provide additional proof of Joshua possessing a questionable chin.

“We’ve actually had another two more people contact us in the last 24 hours saying they have also footage of A.J. being flattened,” Higgins said.

“That brings the total to seven. We’re still looking into these latest claims, but they do seem credible. It’s no wonder Glass Jaw Joshua doesn’t want to take a chance on getting in the ring with Joseph Parker – a genuine world champion who has never been knocked down at any level in his life.”

Higgins reiterated that an offer of a £20,000 bounty for anyone who could produce evidence of Parker having been dropped at any time during his career - pros or amateurs or in sparring - still stood.

“We’ve put a sizeable bounty out there for anyone who can produce evidence that Joseph Parker has ever been knocked down, and we haven’t heard boo from anybody. That offer still stands, by the way,” Higgins said.
