    Maldonado hadn't fought a single top-200 HW in his entire career. Rivas will probably KO him in the first round

    Kuzmin is set to face Laron Mitchell on 24th November while Mansour
    Maldonado was good MMA fighter plus he had amatuer boxing career, so he certainly has the tools to beat Rivas.

    Unfortunately he is Brazilian and they're all tomato cans in boxing.

    Anyone know whether Adamek retired or not? After the Miller fight I read a google translated article on some Polish site which said he did but other than that I haven't seen anything else that suggests so and he's still active on boxrec.

    Not correct. They have Robson Conceicao, Falcao brothers and others.

    Not bad. He's well schooled with decent speed, but needs to work on being less predictable, and defense.

    Maldonado is shot and he got whooped a few times in the UFC standing up. Rivas has more then enough to beat him

    Rivas has been on his back badly in amateur ring where he was stopped and was unconscious by some now retired Venezuelan amateur. That gives chance to Maldanado who has big punching power, also Rivas has lost his head movement in all of his last fights. His stamina is an issue as well, he fights for first 5 rounds and than his work-rate drops considerably.

    Rivas also has problems with his eyes and should not be fighting.

    Surprised Wilder hasn't signed him yet.

    Looks like Michael Hunter Jr is developing in a man who can beat top heavyweights. Ustinov is next. Don't see trouble coming his way in this fight. From what I have seen he can beat Whyte and Pulev. I want to see him fighting Wilder next year.

    His dad was a cult classic. Hunter should get a decision vs an old Ustinov ( age 41 ), however he's not going to beat any non American in the top ten. I 'd pick Whyte to stop him, and Pulev on points.

    I don't think it will be as easy for Hunter as people are saying here. Ustinov can box a bit and is 80 pounds heavier.

    lol Manuel Charr ffs was outboxing Ustinov and dropped him in a legit way, Hunter will totally outclass and outpoint Ustinov from the start to the end. Ustinov is 42 ffs....easy win for Hunter if he stays focused.
