Not even a contest at this point. Tim has proved he's championship level at 154 and has the potential to become elite, Nikita has yet to prove he's above domestic level. Exciting fighter to watch though, just like his father and brother.
They have it all. Conditioning mentally, physically and spiritually. It wasn't just fitness that won Nikita the fight. It's an iron will and mindset and toughness and determination. As well as the physical attributes and ring I.Q. He was getting tagged at will that that right hand. Then it was Nikita who was countering that right hand, and Biggs other weapons in his Arsenal. Levels above.
Just watched the highlights of Nikita-Biggs. Decent scrap. Biggs will cause some ripples because he is one tough boy. How he got up from the rip that dropped him in the corner, just before the end, I'll never know. He sure went out on his shield.
Tim by K.O in the first round. 2nd max. Silly question but there's your answer. A guy with 8 fights against a dude with 23, and a world champion at that.
So excited about last night I forgot to mention how good Nikita was. Gets dropped by the undefeated Australian Champ. A guy who already dropped him in sparring. Belted him in round 4, the fight would have been stopped if there was ten seconds left in that round. Kills him in round 5, and lands an absolute peach of a body shot. Happy he can silence all the critics and all the haters. Stuck it up all those negative ****s. Mission accomplished.
