Robert Helenius/Timur Musafarov today.Helenius weighed in at 253,1/2 pounds for this fight and Musafarov weighed in at 215 pounds.
If Musafarov gives Helenius the fits too like he did vs Teper and Boytsov, that means he's a top euro prospect.
Weigh in results:Bermane Stiverne 254.5/Derric Rossy 230.75.Stiverne 15,5 pounds heavier than in his fight against Wilder.Rossy 5 and a half pounds lighter than in his fight against Bryan. http://www.fightnews.com/Boxing/shobox-weights-from-las-vegas-3-313536/nggallery/page/2.
Rossy is a brawler who stays right in his oppnents grill. Stiverne is gonna let Rossy pound away and nail him on the way out with a counter and drop/stop him. Rossy, sadly.....no boxing ability. But in his defense, has come a long way with his limited skillset and similarly to Guinn in that he's fought almost everyone who was coming up during his prime.:think
I agree stylistically Rossy is Taylor made for Stiverne's sharp counters because he isn't very mobile. But Rossy has gradually improved and is a big guy. If he can make it past the 5th it could get very ugly and sloppy. We'll see tonight
Helenius will fight Teper with no tune up,bad for Helenius,but I think he will loose without it.In my view he is ko to happen,with his non existing defense.
