    Not bad, not bad. :yep

    I saw a thread mainly based off of Rodriguez-Grachev (one of the least interesting fights on the card, IMO.) But would about the entire show? Not many are all that interested in the conclusion of the Dibella/Berman Super 4 tournament. Most think it should be Rodriguez-Erdei here in the event but I won't push the issue as it was a good fight and a close one as well.

    Anyways, back to the point at hand: This is a decent card. Not mind-blowing, :scaredas: quality. But a decent card from top to bottom.

    The most interesting fight to ME is Dmytro Kucher against llunga "Paco" Makabu. Kucher's main wins are to Steve Herelius and Cesar David Crenz. These are fringe contenders beaten by Kucher, none coming in at the level or as hopeful as Congo born Makabu. We saw Makabu on the last Monte Carlo bill. He's a good prospect contributed by the stable of Rodney Berman and his KO win Tomas Lodi got him a co-signing with another of the events organizers in Lou Dibella. Things are going well for both. :good

    Maxim Bursak is somewhat underestimated in boxing. He's a good European level boxer with limitations. I don't think Prince Aaron, a step below will be able to crack down on those, but he will give it the best shot he can.

    Khabib Allakhvierdev is back -- the Russian is always a pleasure. Soleyman M'Baye is on his last stand. If either man has anything to give I'll assume they'll leave it in the ring. Still, this is Khabib's fight and fairly clearly so.

    This is on BeIN sport in the US, if you have that.

    Thoughts?

    Good card...The Kucher Vs Makabu fight definitely got my attention...Grachev vs Rodriguez should be good also. Allakhvierdev should have his way rather easily with Mbaye and so Bursak with Aaron.

    The last time in march was agreat card every fight was good. If this card is half as good as the last super four in Monte Carlo it will be great!

    Kucher vs Makabu is gonna be a war. Grachev vs Rodriguez ain't gonna be a pretty fight.
