Heavyweight fringe contender Brian "The Beast" Minto (30-2, 19 KO) will try to keep his 3 first round KO streak alive when he faces former toughman John Poore (20-2, 18 KO) tonight on Wednesday Night Fights...

Thanks for the reminder! I've seen Minto fight a couple times. The Madelone fight was a ****er.

He's an entertaining fighter because he brings his hard work ethic into every fight. The Axel Schulz fight was also pretty good...

I never saw that one. I agree, he is a hard working fighter and very tough! IIRC, Madelone hit him with some big shots but he endured...

He'll never be a champion, but Minto is an underrated heavyweight.

He's a ticket-seller and an attraction. The goal is to keep him winning so he can keep moving tickets. Its hard to say Minto is underrated when he hasn't been fighting top opposition.

Minto is in very soft here with John Poore. Look at this video of him getting blown away by Cerrone Fox, who is 8-8 right now.
