    Yeah there's a good possibility that may be the case. Also he's more relentless than Lebedev, Denis is the better boxer, but if Dorticos gets you hurt, he usually goes all out to stop you.

    You're overrating Kalenga, I like Youri but skillwise, he's not on Dorticos' level.:nono

    Even if Dorticos "only" hits as hard as Lebedev, he's much more accurate and throws fluid combinations upstairs and down. Guy has pinpoint, laser accurate shots, especially high to the sides of opponents heads over their guard which account for a lot of his knockouts. Equilibrium scramblers.

    lebedev is a man with a left hand cannon, and has gotten smarter with age. lets see if dorticos is all hes cracked up to be. i look at levels, dorticos is good, lebedev has been top 5 for years and is evolving

    Lebedev has been matched soft outside of Kalenga since the Guilmero fiasco, as well as being 36 years old with plenty of wear and tear.

    He's still a world class operator, don't get me wrong. But in my opinion he's not quite the fighter he was 4-5 years ago. Dorticos isn't the shit or anything, he's not HOF bound but he's fresh and could very well make a statement here.

    While I think Lebedev would be too much for Dorticos, as would Ramirez most likely, Kalenga is a level below all three of them. This isn't going to be a walk in the park for Dorticos by any means, and the fact he didn't stop Miranda is worrying, I think he can stop Kalenga and early. IIRC he hurt Miranda and took his foot of the gas, I think he wanted to get stop rounds in, but evidently his power fades as the match goes on, and he probably realizes that.

    kalenga has proven toughness. dorticos hasnt. and in a division stacked with men who can punch, toughness counts for a lot.

    how has he been matched soft, considering huck the man of the division wouldnt give him a rematch. drozd probably wont fight him ever.

    lebedev has one of the better 200lb resumes, and now hes fighting ramirez who is top 10-15 at the very least

    Hey it wouldn't shock me to see Kalenga pulled it off, but his power isn't all that great and his skills aren't all that impressive either. He's solid and Lebedev's win over him was a good one, but he doesn't have the pop of a Durodola, so I doubt this'll be a Kudryashov replay, or at least I hope it isn't.:patsch
