    McDowell will probably never retire....damn guy has been fighting for 20+ years. Atleast he can hold on to the fact he beat Berbick

    What's Wach hoping to get out of fighting these journeymen? He should be chasing EU title or something.

    Good stay busy fight while Wach waits for a big fight to come his way. Airich can be a handful on some nights.

    At least he's staying active against HIGH LEVEL Journeymen as opposed to bar room stiffs. I think he deserves slack because 1) he's coming back from a long suspension 2) he's been extremely active and 3) these guys have all been top 100 heavies.

    I agree that Oloukun, Walker and Airich are top level journeymen but I think he should chase a European title to get some attention.

    Yeah, but at least he is not as bad as Solis, he can upset anyone so might be too risky for up-coming prospects. Personally I wouldn't have been too surprised if he had won the decision in the Jennings fight.

    After the K2 fight it's gonna be hard for Wach to land a big fight. He's impossible to KO and is dangerous all 12 rounds. So to get a big fight right away Wach would need to be hooked up with a major promoter which he isn't.

    But if he keeps fighting these quality journeymen then he'll keep moving up in the ratings, and some young buck will decide to step up to Wach. Or a contender who isn't afraid of a challenge like Pulev, Duhaupes, or Takam will take Wach as a crossroads fight.

    Looks like Takam is fighting Sprott in another come back fight.
