Nah, I didn't. I went on a holiday. But I agree with all this. This fight basically comes down to whether or not the refs do their job. This fight is like Geale-Sylvester, Proksa-Sylvester, Sturm-Macklin, Campillo-Murat, and many many many many more. The better fighter is obvious, Dan is the much more skilled, much better fighter and he wins anywhere on the planet with competent judges. Unfortunately, we live in a world with shady judges so you have to factor that in. So, basically, if the judges suck Aydin wins. If the judges get it right and do their job Dan wins easy.
Yeah, all right I guess. Jo Jo Dan, a nice tall, slick southpaw. He's a very skilled fighter with a good set of tools. He judges distance perfectly and counters with precision timing. Graham Houston, I believe it was, called him Lucian Bute with not much power. That's pretty much a spot on description. In this fight against Selcuk Aydin, Dan will be backing up, judging distance and looking to pick off Aydin from a far. And he should have a field day with that, Aydin, has crappy beloew average footwork, walks in straight lines, and is quite crude. The only thing he does have is legit, somewhat world class power. If he gets a good, clean shot on an opponent it'll do damage. Unfortunately for Aydin, he needs to actually hit the opponent clean do really do damage. He has yet to do that in his step up fights. Against Said Ouali, he got a nice gift...it was a close fight, but Ouali was able to score at will at times. And then the first fight last year against Dan, Dan was able to score at will and land, nice legal shots. Aydin was very ineffective, walked into shots, and the only shots he landed were dirty, behind the head shots. This fight, will more than likely be pretty much the same as the first fight. The only thing is whether or not the judges give Dan the decision. If this was in the States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Antarctica, where ever, Dan wins easily. But, this is in Turkey and what looks to be a wipeout win for Dan, all of a sudden becomes a 50/50 fight. That is what's quite intriguing about this fight and we will have to see what happens.
:good Nice reading. Thanks, I forgot to mention that he judge the distance nicely and he has good reflexes evading shots nicely.
