Analyzing - the end of 2017 for the HW division.

Damn that sounds nice , I really hope it happens!

 

Charr vs Ustinov
Finally the WBA situation is about to be solved. As I predicted Oquendo tried to get involved in this and he succeeded. The fight was changed as WBA heavyweight title eliminator and the winner must face Oquendo. I can't wait this greedy old grandpa to get hardly beaten. For me Ustinov will win against Charr, no matter he is ageing. Charr showed many times that he has no chin and can't handle big punchers. Well Ustinov is a really big guy and it will be easy for him. I hope it will be a good fight and Charr will at least try to outwork Ustinov with speed and good movement. Charr still has some chances but they are for getting a close decision... I just can't see him KO Ustinov. My prediction is Ustinov by a brutal KO.

Kuzmin vs Browne
This is going to be the bomb! Everyone ( including me ) writes off Browne but he can pull the upset. The fact that he agreed to fight in Russia against Kuzmin is enough. He is confident that he can win. I have no doubts that he will be looking for the knockout because a decision in Russia looks utopic. This fight is going to be bloody, I just hope Browne won't get sanctioned again for substances and the fight is actually going to happen. Both fighters are very durable but Browne is more proven on the professional scene. I would be disappointed if Kuzmin turns out to be the next Granat. Kuzmin looks like one of the future top fighters and I think this is the right time for him to prove the world he is worth it. I would say it is a 55/45 fight leaning for Kuzmin because it is in Russia. My pick is Kuzmin by a Split Decision.

 

I watched his fight against Hubeaux and honestly I have no idea what to expect from him against Chisora. It won't be shocking if he surprises everyone and pulls the upset against Chisora.
