    Wasn't there already a thread on this?

    It's for the linear title as well as the WBO :good

    Erdei would easily outbox Francis.

    Francis has been waiting for so long for this, and he has been through so much that I have a sneaking suspicion that he may just throw caution to the wind and go for the stoppage....bad right hand or not.

    Yeah, but Erdei will be ready for anything and he's such a safety-first fighter that unless you sustain the attack throughout the fight, you'll get nowhere. Is Francis a good enough pressure fighter? Is he tough enough to take the punishment to apply that pressure and fight an aggressive fight? :think

    No no and no. Francis is too limited these days. Only so many times can you throw a wild hook and win the lottery. He's only got them and a jab these days.

    Erdei will outbox him and likely stop him late.

    Well I would love to see him win. Francis still has the potential to pull off an upset, Zsolt is good but not a real champion by any means.
