You want the IBF WW Belt Berto?

[Rip Chudd]

There is no place that big, but he can fill their largest venue.



The humidity and heat is intense in Biloxi in late summer. That won't bother Berto, who grew up in sweltering Haiti, but will affect Zaveck, who has lived all his life in cooler Slovenia.

Haha, he better stay his behind indoors then. I think you're making too big a deal about it. I don't think the heat will affect him that much. The fight will sell though. I forgot they also have a military training base there so military people will buy up tickets for the fight.

lol, ur funny dude.

Zaveck can draw 30k in his home country?

Yeah he can. It would make some sense for this to be in Slovenia, but HBO probably wouldn't buy the telecast, much less bring in a TV team to produce it. They even don't want to air Klitschko fights, how you expect them to air a Zavec fight?

They don't have air conditioning in Biloxi, MS??

Why was a place like Biloxi chosen? There will be poor attendance. This fight should have been in Slovenia, since Zaveck is the champion, and there would be a much bigger crowd.

US Boxers don't want to fight anywhere else but their beloved USA.

E: Sry for a double post.

[Boomy]

Zaveck by KO.

I dont get this either, Berto has no fans, why Biloxi? Theres going to be 30 people in the crowd who bought a ticket. If you had to fight in USA then fight in Las Vegas.

Zaveck is a ****** who doesnt watch Boxing or is letting his promoter **** him.

A champion who can draw 30k at home is fighting some bum in Biloxi with shady judges and 100 people in the crowd.

Zaveck has expressed on several occasions that he wants to fight in the States to make a name for himself. I don't think the guy is ******ed at all, I just think he sees a fight (in Mississippi) against Berto a way to break into the American boxing scene. I think he's pretty confident of his ability and is making a calculated gamble that might lead to bigger and more lucrative fights in the future....

Zaveck has some whiny ass fans.

People complain way to much about fan attendance in America or American fighters fight in America. The focal point of boxing has and will always be in the United States, whether you like it or not, that's the way it is. Of course Americans are going to fight in America and hell the worlds best fight mainly in America too. Zaveck actually wanted to come to the states because he realizes the only way to get the big names is to come build a name here. There are a few exceptions like Wlad and Vitali who have proven themselves and built such a strong fan base that they can get names to go to Germany(also helps that Americans dont care about heavies at the moment or they would be fighting here more often) but other than that if you want to make a name for yourself you fight in the United States. Sure, you could go the Felix Sturm route and look like a complete joke.

The whole heat issue or travel is just an excuse. Think of the countless amount of fighters that have traveled to the states or cross country to have a fight that they won. If Zaveck is better than Berto he will beat him. If he losses, he will show that he isn't. It won't be because of some humidity.

WARRRR ZAVECCCC!!!!
