Anyone give Grachev a chance?

The Undercard stat's in half hour. The main event starts in about 3 and a half hours.

 

About Grachev's weight.

First off.....it's HIS 175 lb NABF title.

He agreed to fight Bute at 170 per DOLLARS, not per title.

He could just as soon have forfieted a small percentage of his purse and showed up 172/173 etc and STILL defended his title.
His cut to 169 is evidence that he cares MORE about those DOLLARS than he does anything else, hence the no doubt on the scales. He wasnt taking no chances being 170.5 and lose money or drain himself. He came down slowly since he had plenty of time, and he is merely coming back to SWM for the payday.
He knows he loses this fight, but why not take a gamble he can land that punch and even further increase his earning potential.
He also knows that a rematch with Sillahk would derail his own boost in the rankings and some fan hype as well.

The sadder thing of this fight for me is that's it's Lucian Bute cashing in on Grachev's one hit wonder. Just like Ding is getting all kinds of fights for his hard fought win over JCG and guys like Estrada riding a lone big name win........Grachev is gonna take as many high level Ls as he can since those are the fights that pay.....SEE DEL BOY

I see Grachev getting schooled, clowned and then KOd viciously to the head or the body. Whichever Lucian so chooses.
