    Botvinniks is a tough opponent for your first serious fight after a 3.5 year layoff and after only having fought a six rounder in all that time against a 20-34-2 tomato can. Would've liked to have seen him ease back in against a lesser foe than this as Botvinniks is a potential banana skin

    I think he hits harder than his record suggests but I'm more concerned if it goes late. He gave Buatsi a really tough fight and I thought his fight against Craig Richards was a 50-50 affair, prior to it being cancelled of course. Gvozdyk hasn't fought anyone with a pulse in 3.5 years.

    Bolotniks seems a bit ambitious at this stage of his comeback.

    But it will be a good fight and if he going to get back into serious contention before he is to old he has to take a risk or two.

    Isn't Bolotniks meant to be fighting Craig Richards on the AJ undercard?

    Bolotniks went on a really good run after moving down to 175. He has plenty of upsets on his resume. He is a top 20-ish guy and not to be taken lightly.

    Competitive fight after a long layoff. Could be a good matchup.

    Bolotniks is a very good fighter, decent power, workman like and stays strong all fight long. I won $9000 on him in that tournament final against Serge Michel.

    I think this one is an easy "to go the decision" bet.

    Both are Aries, so it might be brutal.:D Although stylistically Ricards is made to order for him. So I think The Nail will brutally KO him way earlier than Buatsi did. Gvozdyk's one twos will do a Yunieski Gonzalez type number on him. Blocking his punches with your face, is a terrible idea.
