Will be a historic fight, last of ESPN FNF :| And a fairly meaningful fight in HW landscape, winner will get a nice payday and leapfrog over many of their peers in the rankings. Fedosov is the clear favorite here, and should make quick work of Dennis. Hopefully sets up some big fights for the underrated Russian. Thoughts?
A bit overshadowed by the earlier HW/CW action, but this isn't one you guys will want to miss. Going to be fireworks, and will more then likely end with a brutal knockout.
Dennis has a slim puncher's chance I suppose, but Fedosov has a great beard. He soaked up plenty of flush shots from Goofi Whitaker and Bryant Jennings (the latter stopping him via cuts), not to mention Ding-A-Ling Wilson. He wiped out Nat Heaven before we could get a direct comparison (Heaven KO1ed Dennis the previous year) as he never really let Heaven into the fight, but my feeling is that Fedosov can't dish out quite the same punishment as Dennis but takes a MUCH better punch.
I ink Dennis has a slight chance if he comes out guns blazing but the Cojanu KO had more to do with Cojanu not being great as opposed to Dennis being that much better now. Fedosov by KO 3.
I had Fedo beating Jennings 4 rds to 2 before succumbing to a hematoma over his eye that the doc refused to allow him to continue. His early body work gave Jennings all sorts of trouble, but Jennings pulled out his patented C UC, and drilled him with it, follwed by a series of shots that would put down Valuev or Vitali.:yep Sadly for Fedo, he's not gonna get a rematch with Jennings anytime soon. Jennings next top 20 fight will be someone far more beatable like Arreola. And btween that type fight, he'll be fighting the likes of USS, journeymen, etc. Not gonna forget that night he nearly got beaten before pulling the rabbit out the hat. Fedos gonna have to keep working in the top 50 to continue his rise. Seeking out a fight vs the winner of Leapei Charr would be a great next fight for the winner of tonights Fedo/Dennis fight.:think Im personally pulling hard for Fedo. Warmed up to him again.:thumbsup
Should be a fun and probably short fight. I think Fedesov gets Denis out of there before too long. Fedesov is actually a solid heavyweight and its a nice win on Jennings record that he doesn't always get a lot of credit for. If Fedesov wins there's a lot of action fights out there for him, I like the idea of him vs Mansour though.
