The pick em’ contest?

No none of us have seen enough of Sylvester

 

Hmm I'll make a pick after the weigh in, have to remember. I'm pretty sure it'll be 8-4 Calzage, so I'll put in a initial pick in case I forget to nearer the time. But I may change that nearer the date. On Vbookie I'm going for Jones, much better odds and he may just turn the clock back, when has Calzage fought anyone so quick?

 

Just watch his last fights against Asikainen II and Castillejo, in it he shows everything you need to know about him. Should be both at youtube.

My favourite active fighter aside from B-Hop and Abaraham.

 

To be fair it should be fighters most of us are familiar, I'd be happy to bet on British title fights but most on here wouldn't have seen the fighters

British title fights are often real Gatti-Ward type fights, if no one has seen

Do you think he's a threat to Sturm?

 

Well, he´s not as good in terms of footwork, handspeed and skill but his turtle defence, determination and power is better. He has the hunger Sturm lacks. Their reach and jab are about equal and their style is similar. Sylvester can knock out Sturm but not the other way round but Sylvester is prone to cuts. They hate each other and are very serious about this fight. This could be a fight of the year candidate as unlikely as it looks on first glance. I favour Sturm 60/40 but Sylvester improved in nearly every of his last fights and he really really wants this, on the other hand this could bring the best out of Sturm. I´ll root for Sylvester and hope we get to see him against Asikainen a third time - their first two fights were very good and entertaining.
