    Injury or not, holding the fight in either Russia or Ukraine would be terribly unfair for the away fighter and would put a shadow over the tournament.

    Good chance that this will go the distance and it will be fairly close either way.
    Problem is that it's even less likely as a Russian boxer getting a fair shake against an American star in Vegas. It's just not going to happen.

    I thought I heard Abel say in a recent interview that the fight is happening in July. There are reports we’ll know by May 20 if the fight will be held in Sochi, Russia, which matches up with an 8 week training camp.

    That's because you're an agenda driven buffoon. The L's keep rolling your way.
