Update.......just checked Boxrec..... Pianeta being spoonfed. Sorry for hyping a potential great fight, just being optimistic. http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=522667&cat=boxer Only solid win over Gregory Tony who is serviceable, but not much better than a 50 yo Botha.:-(
It's not a terrible stay busy fight.... He also has two victories over Fabrice Aurieng, he's a good domestic level heavy and a fringe contender at European level. Not a terrible fight.
I would like to see Price take fight against someone with a solid chin that will take him deep, so we know where he is from that point of view. Ustinov would be a good choice from that point of view, but maybe it's too early in his rebuilding for that? I would like to see a battle of the prospects a little further down the line between Price and someone like Glazkov.
OK.....it's not terrible...... But it's leagues below the potential fight I was hoping for. It'll give Pianeta his 30th win, 17th KO, and may boost his confidence some. The title will increase his ranking, and force his mgmt/promoter to give him higher quality opposition. :think
