Damn this is a good fight between two talented heavyweight contenders.

Good to see 2 up & comers fighting on tv but my only issue is it's 8 rounds & not 10 or 12. These guys need to be fighting 10 rounders at least at this point. That's one thing that bugs me is contenders & name fighters boxing 8 rounds. It should be 10 minimum. Those extra few rounds can be the difference.8 rounds is for time fillers. If this is your co-feature then it should be 10...just my opinion

Putting that Tor beat Kevin Johnson to win that heavyweight prizefighting championship as one of his best accomplishments it's very misleading.

It's true but that was a 3 round fight. He was just more active than Kevin because he knew he'll have to do that for only 3 rounds. He said it himself in the post interview that he wouldn't have been able to keep the same pace for 12 rounds an a fight like that would have been totally different. Kevin showed that he had better technique than Tor, in a REAL boxing match i would favour him to win. I also think the ucranian is the favourite in this one.

Also Adamek won the first fight only with his power. It was clear that USS was the better boxer but he was getting knocked down or hurt in almost every round. And that was mostly because he was being reckless in his attack. If he fights in a safer way and stays out of trouble, he will be able to easily win a UD.

Those are two interesting fights.

Great matchmaking here. Here are two relatively unknown, but up-and-coming, heavyweight boxers.
