    How no one believes, Babic could win this fight.

    Fisher skills are not levers above Babic's - Savage could catch him with a swinging overhand, continuing the pressure and get the TKO

    From what we saw against Rozanski, I somehow expect the outcome to be the same...

    Babic packs glass, and Fisher hits hard. Fisher is no great shakes, true, but he has not shown the kind of mandibular fragility that Babic has.

    I expect Babic to taste canvas early and often. It will be a shocker if this goes more than a round or two. Fisher is going to obliterate him.

    "KO waiting to happen vs KO that already happened".

    Should be fun while it lasts, but Babics chins cracked so I expect him to be KOd early

    What's the record time for a knockout?

    You reckon we could see Jimmy Thunders record broken?

    A-side prospect and fan favourite Fisher has five opponents in common with Adeleye and stopped them all faster, with ten stoppages in eleven fights and four in the 1st round. He's sparred Fury, Joyce, Dubois, Hughie, Wardley, Chisora and Hrgovic. He's 25 and a decent sized heavyweight, seems to stay in shape (12 lbs max weight range in his 11 pro fights) despite his morbidly obese father and is much more intelligent that your average boxer (2:1 in History from Exeter).

    Ex-bouncer Babic is 33 going on 34 with a young man's style and is a small cruiserweight. Babic started having gym wars with Whyte back in July 2019 and had his first iffy fight against a cruiser journeyman in June 2021 (Babic's last prime fight being at the end of 2020, seven fights ago). At the end of 2021 he was discombobulated by a heavyweight journeyman and 5 months after that he got dropped and hurt badly by a cruiser who lost 9-1 to Masternak, the Balski UD10 being Babic's best win. 11 months later Babic got blown out in 2 minutes by Okolie KO1-victim bridgerweight Rozanski (that was over 14 months ago), who is billed as being 3 inches shorter and 1.5 stone lighter than Fisher, who has never fought anyone as small as Babic.

    Babic was badly psychologically affected by the Rozanski destruction and is slurring these days, to the point that he's barely comprehensible at times. It's similar to the difference between Chisora's interviews a decade ago and Chisora now.

    Fisher will surely want to make a statement (so far as that's possible here) and should stop Babic early.

    Babic doesn't hit hard enough to threaten Fisher, who is better in every way, anything other than a KO/TKO victory for Fisher is unthinkable to me...

    Fisher has a lot to lose if Babuc wins. His stock will drop like a rock.

    Should be wild, sloppy and fun.

    Fisher is, no joke, one of the most explosive punchers I've seen at HW since a young Joseph Parker. Of course he's raw as sashimi, but when he lets his hands go he can really blast through people's guards. I think he tears through Babic, who's in against a guy who probably hits harder than him, definitely hits faster than him, and has a bit of ring iq to boot. But if Babic catches him with a big one it could get really interesting, as Fisher's upright chin in the air style is begging for an endless series of OH rights.

    I think Fisher would beat Wardley too. It's not like We've got a British champ who's even Whyte or forgive me, David Price level at the moment.
