They reached an agreement one month ago. Since then: Nothing, no news at all. So anyone knows when or if this fight will happen? :?:?
They have reached a deal and were waiting for an HBO date to start camp. At this point I don't imagine the fight will happen before late August.
This content is protected This content is protected I was a big Kong backer 5 years ago. Subsequently, he has turned 37, been busted for PEDS, and gained 8 pounds. After 350 amatuer fights, I think he is winding down. Ustinov is older, fatter, arguably as shopworn from his kickboxing career, and less talented, but he is used to being a plodder who toughs his way to victory. The guys that Oritz beat: shot Cooper, Barret, Thompson and not very talented Jennings, are guys that were just there to be powered out. I think Ortiz will be challenged for the first time, and, facing his own declining ability, fold.
I will bet my money on the Cuban but Ustinov can certainly make the water hot for Ortiz. I tend to think that Ortiz is a bit overrated by some posters here.He is a decent heavy but no top 5 fighter.H e would probably have made a bigger impact a couple of years ago if he had had the chance to turn pro far earlier in his career. Ustinov isnt the youngest green hopper out there either. Top geezer heavy weight fight:good
