    On November 27 in a 12 round fight. Good replacement for Lucas Browne. Kuzmin by highlight reel knockout.

    Can only see a Kuzmin KO. Question really is, who do the WBC want to win?

    Good replacement, obviously Browne would've been better but this is still a step-up.

    Kuzmin by KO

    Good step up fight for Kuzmin, Mansour developed into some kind of gatekeeper in the heavyweight division, he is
    not easy to defeat, however i give Kuzmin a slight advantage but i wouldn't be shocked if Mansour wins this fight.

    Another good hw fight for the end of the year. I rate Mansour quite highly among senior heavyweights.

    Kuzmin obviously has power but his defense is better than what I first thought. I haven't really seen Kuzmin in tremendous shape yet or at least not look like he's in tremendous shape. Maybe he can look like she it and not tire out.

    I think he can go comfortably 12 rounds without gassing. He already has fought for 8 and 10 rounds without gassing, so I don't see any issues here.

    Mansour will drop his work rate after 6 round if it goes so far. And I doubt Mansour can take Kuzmin's power.

    I echo the posts above ... great fight. I was actually thinking that Mansour would be a good option before I read this, but wasn't sure about Mansour's visa situation. This'd be his first fight outside the US I think.

    Don't know but nothing was signed, I think he wanted insane amount of money. He will fight in Australia next.

    maybe the rumors of him vs Parker might be true.

    Could be but he needs to be ranked, so expect him in some tune-up next against someone from WBO's ranks in his next fight.

    If Mansour has something left at his age, he will win. Kuzmin would have trouble with his footwork.
