Tony Victor James Yoka vs. Joel Tambwe Djeko & Estelle Yoka Mossely vs. Verena Kaiser RBR.

Going to be a good scrap

 

looks like a decent card, with only one mismatch at first glance. Not the usual unbeaten prospects against guys with 2 wins 34 losses and a glass jaw, as we usually see nowadays.

 

The codeword for this on a Queensberry card is a 'seasoned professional'

 

Joel doesn't look too soft at around 228 pounds and has decent height. That said, he only had a 40% KO ratio at CW, so he doesn't seem to be a big puncher. From the limited footage that I've seen from him he has a good jab and fast hands, but it a bit wild. His speed could be interesting, because Yoka is usually much faster than his opponents.

 

Nice, main event ~5pm EST?

 

Another carefully selected opponent by Yoka’s camp. So far he’s either fighting guys he’s much faster than or if a guy can match his speed they’re smaller sorts without much power. Still waiting for the step up. This ain’t it.

 

I don't think Yoka has the best chin. I wonder if it gets exposed today?

 

Is Yoka french or did I imagine that?

 

by a blown up cruiser with 8 KO in 17 fights? Highly unlikely.
