I like this. This is a throwback to the old days when guys fought the best on their way up. In the days of 100 belts per division, its not hard for a half decent fighter to get a mandaory position, which Zbik has as the shameful WBC interim champ. Generlly in his position, guys want to sit on that guaranteed title shot. Zbik instead is taking on probably the best fighter he's ever faced. I don't think he would have a chance in hell against Williams, Martinez, or even Sturm. That said, he's making his way up the ladder the right way. Kudos to him.

Gevor is a nice step up for Zbik, who has fought nothing but soft, safe opposition at home so far.
