Denis Boytsov ?.? lbs (? kg)
Dominick Guinn ?.? lbs (? kg)

Can anybody make out that lady's German any better than me to determine the weights there? :-( Why couldn't Buffer have just done all the announcements.

 

:good


Looks like he picked up a shiner in sparring? :!: Anybody know who his partners were?

 

It was Lolenga Mock who puffed up Sturm's eye with right hands.

Mock is a tough light heavyweight, and heavy-handed although you wouldn't know it from his stoppage ratio. He was the first person to ever knock down David Haye in the pros.

 

Denis Boytsov 218 lbs (98.9 kg)
Dominick Guinn 233 lbs (105.7 kg)

 

That's a perfect weight for Boytsov...but Guinn is at the second fattest of his career.

 

Average, at both CW and HW.

Not glass like some exaggerate it to be, but he could definitely be hurt at either weight and it wouldn't even take a monster. Had he not run & flopped against Wlad, he'd have been KTFO.

 

Michael Buffer keeps mentioning the name of the event is "Bad Blood"...


:think Is there some history there, or has there been any verbal back-and-forth in the German media during the build-up between Sturm and Zbik?

The face-off did seem a bit electric...
