With a 15-17 record but wins over hyped prospects Bermane Stiverne and Bowie Tupou, a win over Fres Oquendo tonight could make the man the Bert Cooper or Jesse Ferguson of this era. Go Demetrice!
I've actually seen a couple of King's fights. He's not someone you should screw about with in there, he's durable and he enjoys a brawl so going toe-to-toe isn't really the smart option. On the other hand, he's not the busiest or most mobile fighter out there so if you can keep him at range he can be handled pretty easily. Best wishes, but I just feel he's the perfect mix for someone like Oquendo to beat.
Zack Page is a natural cruiser who fights at heavy and does what King does, but even better. Many of Page's losses where fights where he actually won but got screwed over. Page, one of the best chins in the sport.
Page doesn't punch like King though. Page gets guys rounds, and is a tough boxer. King can't box to save his life, but can take a punch and dish one out. Really big difference.
