    Hopefully Ustinov will be facing a decent top 100 HW ond not a tomato can.

    I hope he fights someone decent and there are other good fighters on the undercard. Klitschko fights are notorious for having bad undercard fights....

        Ustinov vs Barrett on the undercard of Vitali vs Johnson was possibly the worst fight I've ever seen.

          I imagine Banks will be fighting on the undercard of Vitali-Briggs and/or Wlad/Chisora. I hear he's a sparring partner and close friend to the brothers....

            Cool, I like Ola, hes got skills. I never saw his fight with Huck....did he get a shady decision? I have a feeling he'll never fullfill his potential and just get a reputation as a spoiler

              Banks-Gavern was a horrible fight, but mostly because of Gavern's holding and spoiling tactics, so it's not fair to blame Jonathan.

              Banks-Walker was entertaining, ending with a nice KO. He scored a nice round one KO against Marcel Zeller on another Klitschko undercard.

                Afolabi is sparring with Vitali for his fight against Briggs.

                  I am sorry but Banks-Walker was not an entertaining fight.

                  I am a huge fan of Banks and always have been but that performance was pathetic on both ends.

                  Both guys fought hesitant like they were afraid to get hit and afraid to get tired, the fight was utter **** up until the knockout which was a pretty good one, but that hardly makes up for the dreadful fight that led up to it.
