    Now that name is a blast from the past! Bowie must be ancient by now.

    Good to see Bowie back and being in a meaningful fight.

    From memory he was progressing pretty well then took on Malik Scott. Took on a quality opponent early on (in the States). I respect it.

    Wonder who it will be if not Wilder?

    Feel like Miller would be a good option as he'll give him rounds and he's not exactly special either. If AJ can't even beat Miller, then he shouldn't step anywhere near the ring with Fury.

    They are now in their mid to late 30s, they should just fight each other!


    Why have a warmup when you got a three month training camp?

    I watched an interview with Hearn today, and the idea is that it is a tune-up level guy. I would think someone like David Allen, or something.

    I humbly add Suslenkov-Mann. Neither is a world beater, but neither is a bum.

    Good addition. I still have hopes for Suslenkov.

    May 15th Peter Kadiru (21-1) takes on Senad Gashi (34-4). Gashi is coming off his career best win against wife-beater Schwarz.

    Undefeated heavies Emanuel Odiase, Nelvie Tiafack and Viktor Jurk are also fighting.

    This is from some random tournament down in the Caribbean, but I gotta say, La Cruz still has some skill left in him. Even though the guy he fought wasn't that great, he is a still a super heavyweight and Cruz soundly outboxed him. It will be impressive if he could somehow qualify for the games in Los Angeles.
