    Two hard punchers with leaky defenses.

    This would be a FOTY type of war.

    Who would you favor on this one?

    Kalenga looks a lot bigger and tougher

    Kalenga is more durable but he also gets hit a lot and 2 of his last 3 fights were really gruelling affairs where he shipped an awful lot of punishment from 2 big punchers. Both of them hit very hard. I think Kalenga would be a really dangerous opponent for Bellew.

    Makabu weighed just ¾lb more on the scales when he fought Eric Fields in a CW match than what Bellew weighed in the ring at LHW against Adonis Stevenson. He only weighed 3lbs more on the scales against Mchunu than Bellew did against Stevenson too. He is small for the division.
