After winning the linear title by forcing Vitali to quit for three years, Danny is back on Friday night fighting a dangerous opponent ranked in the top 100: John "D Cup" McDermott.

My prediction? Danny KO within three. He's just THAT good. P4P.

Danny gets in some entertaining fights. That Platov fight was excting and so was the Tyson fight. Even when he gets brutally beaten up, he's pretty exciting.

His last fight wasn't very long ago; good to see he's serious about this last 'comeback'. Or maybe he's just broke?

In fairness I guess he can fight more regularly when the opponents aren't so hot. Though he did say that he was surprised with the power of Airich (Klitschko level according to Danny) if not his skill.

Neils, no offence, but you look like a fruit in that sig pic.

It's like you're saying to the guy who's taking the pic "Yo, I just asked Adamek if I could blow him for five bucks - giggle - he's told me he'll kick my ass if I ask again."

Though it's good you met him.

Though I was cringing during his three year TKO of Vitali, he showed heart, right?

Yep, walked right from the buffett into a fight with Vitali and kept getting up.
He's entertaining.
More than you can say for a lot of guys.

Like Wlad lately, right?

Met Teddy Atlas, Joe Tessitore, Kathy Duva that night too....

Dude taking the pic was struggling getting the screen to pop up on his cell so my smile is a little more exaggerated than it would have been if it was the "cheese" moment; I met the others inside the venue, this was outside and I was like "dude take the pic before the man drives off..."

I once saw Audley Harrison - walked right past him. Never even knew who he was, I don't have much interest in the olympics and this was in the days when not only was he a fresh prospect with a gold medal but people on the street would be scared of him.

Nowadays they'd probably blow on his jaw to KO him. He was HUGE though. (I'm 5'10).
