    It's in Germany, Ustinov has a massive size advantage, and Ustinov's people set up the fight as a step-up, so obviously they think he can take it. I haven't voted, but I'm leaning Ustinov just because I don't think Boswell can knock him out.

    I wouldn't bet on many people to knock out Ustinov clean without conditioning being a factor since the guy's neck is about as thick as a ham. I'm making a bit of an assumption that the 6'8, 300 lb gentlemen will hit the wall stamina wise and Boz will get a late TKO on him.

    The fight is on the Arreola/Vitali undercard so it is actually going to be in Los Angeles at the Staples Arena.

    Uhhh, good for you.

    This statement:

    was potentially misleading to those who don't know. So I clarified. :good

    Not saying that you were implying anything along the lines of "when he steps up in class he falls short" (which the aforementioned fight is not necessarily indicative of, given a basic knowledge of it) but it could certainly be construed from your wording.

    Is Boswell just being underrated by most here? I mean Ustinov really isn't very good.

    Broadcast at 10pm EST. If they show any undercard that late it'll only be one fight - it would be this or Banks vs. Mora (both ten rounders). Even if the undercard fight goes the distance that still leaves room for the main event to kick off around 11, so it's not inconceivable.

    good matchup? please. both of these guys are b level fighters. if that is your interest then I suppose it might have some 'drama' associated with it, especially if you lay $$ down. neither onbe of these guys will ever amount to anything, their respective skill levels are quite medicore.

    BTW, I was watching boxing before the sperm donor that produced you was even at puberty..:rofl

    You're right. I completely forgot the fight was in the US, just assumed, since it was a Klitschko fight.

    Very underrated I would say. He actually is a pretty good heavyweight with some solid skills.

    :lol: I know what you mean my friend. This will be the first Klitschko fight in the U.S. for a while I think...
