Happy birthday to Alexander Povetkin and happy 50th birthday to Lennox Lewis.

 

Lennox is 50? Time fly's man.... Remember watching his fights as a kid, hard to believe.

 

I think Washington gets bombed out by Mansour, Kassi has skills but is too inactive and suffers from sparring mentality so I don't like his chances.

 

Very good card :good

 

Yeah, Mansour might as well serve as a gatekeeper from now on.

 

Yeah,pretty much

 

Same thought about Mansour,but I think that other fight will be close.

 

:good

 

Mansour is far from that

 

I definitely think Kassi has the skills to pull an upset up, but being able to and actually doing are two entirely different things. He's suffering from a severe case of sparring mentality, and I could honestly see him losing just on activity alone despite looking the more talented/capable of the two. He's like Kevin Johnson in that regard.

 

I consider Parker and Joshua the only 2 "Blue chip" prospects in the division right now. (Usyk would be the 3rd if he moved up). Is that a fair assessment? Or is there a really good future champ currently pro that I am missing?

 

"As far as Luis Ortiz we are a couple of days from wrapping up a new opponent said Golden Boy Promotion matchmaker Robert Diaz.
We have gone through a long list, Jennings, Stiverne, Fedosov....
We have a guy now, we are waiting on a contract.
He obviously had to be rated in the top 15 by WBA."
Diaz said Ortiz will stay on the pay-per-view portion of the show.

(Vidondo is ratet number 15 by the WBA)

 

There is Kuzmin,but only in long term.Rivas is another one.

 

Thanks
