Dan, do you know if there are alternates in the smw touri if one of the six original fighters were to pull out from a fight? If so, who are they? Thanks

Dan Rafael

There are no alternates signed but I would imagine an Allan Green or Sakio Bika is at the top of the list.

Sounds about right. I'm sure neither Bute or Balszay is alternates due to the economics. That is unless Kessler loses to Perdomo. That might incline the organizers to look for Bute as a replacement IMO.

I hope that there will be no need for any alternates although I like Green and Bika...

What question did you keep sending in

[Derranged_]

I was asking if he knew if Chambers and/or Povetkin were fighting interim fights before they face (Wlad) Klitschko. And if so, against who? IDK why the pretentious fat bastard couldn't answer it..

That's a good question, he shouldn't have banned you for it.

On a lighter note, who do you think wins the possible April matchup between Arreola-Adamek? I like Adamek by KO, but Chris is the bigger man and is a huge puncher. In any case, great fight...

If that fight actually got made, cool. I'd prefer seeing Adamek-Hopkins and Arreola-Tua, but hey, I'll take what I can get and that's an interesting match..

If you guys get through in his chat; post your questions and Dan's answers in this thread...

I asked him about the Mike Tyson comeback rumors but he won't answer me. Maybe someone else can ask...
