    Good fight, very interesting styles match up.

    Douglas was seen as a very good prospect not long ago and has some skills.

    Spike hits like a heavyweight but sometimes seems a bit lazy and plodding.

    I kind of fancy Spike but it's a 50/50, Spike needs to put pressure on him and to not let him breathe and I think he stops him.

    I'm interested to see how Antoine "You got Mike Tyson'd baby, Mike Tyson'd" Douglas does after the Khurtzidze fight

    Spike has been dominated everytime he stepped up.

    Douglas isn't on Saunders/Eubank level, but I think he stops him llate

    Great fight, I'm pretty sure if Soro and Khurtsidze can take Antoine's power, Spike can as well, if Spike gets in his grill like he did with Quigley, I think he can stop poor Antoine and quicker than Avtandil did.

    Hes heavy handed Spike but can be outboxed. Yeah, very interesting fight though agreed. Spike to tko him late or points. One of them fights that you wouldn't put money on though

    Really good fight, and the perfect barometer of Douglas' growth (or potential lack thereof) since the Khurtsidze fight. I think Spike's at least one step back from AK. If Antoine fights smart, he ought to win.

    Finally a decent fight for Spike, his level of competition since Eubank has been atrocious.

    Would like to see him vs Lemieux after he loses to Saunders.

    Douglas did poorly against AK - hardly won a round. Granted AK is/was better than Spike. Very tough to call. Douglas still young and bigger, Spike is tough and hits hard.

    good fight . i havent seen much of spike , but i seen douglas a good amount of times. he seems like a solid fighter but struggles at times late in the fight. but his power is there early on.

    khurt is alot better swarmer than sullivan, faster and more compact. we will see, i dont rate osullivans skills much. but he does hit hard.
