Lennox Lewis: 'Leapai may surprise Klitschko'

Povetkin will return in late May/early June in Moscow

[Weltschmerz]

Not sure in what way Lennox believes Leapai can be a real threat. Leapai got stopped by his best opponent thus far in Kevin Johnson, who isn't exactly known for being especially heavy handed and has a very modest KO ratio. Leapai's win over Boytsov (a smaller HW) was an upset too - most people expected Boytsov and not Leapai being Wlad's next opponent. Wlad KO's Leapai, there's no doubt in my mind.

Great link.WAR Cristobal.

Got a good feeling about this fight.Stiverne is a BIG slug,unfortunately for him Cris is a slugger and he's gonna hit him with everything,including the kitchen sink.

I don't think he's picking Leapai to win. He was asked if Leapai COULD win, and he does, of course, have a puncher's chance.

Hammer VS Airich happens today (April 11):

http://www.boxen-heute.de/artikel/5790-hammer-und-airich-im-limitder-countdown-fuer-die-ec-fightnight-in-berlin-laeuft.html

Fight will be shown on Eurosport.

On the front page the fight is listed for April 18th.

Hammer beat Airich with a UD. Fight was pretty dull, Hammer did not work much, Airich never was a danger to him. I had it 96-94.

I guess as soon as Hammer moves up to tougher opponents he won't really have the ability to keep up with them.

More or less this. Although fair play to Hammer. At least he's pushing himself against decent opposition considering his own ability. He's actually earned his org ranking due to pushing for tough fights against the fringe contenders. He's put himself in a decent position now to bring in a big'ish payday against a contender now. I suspect Saureland will be considering him as an opponent for one of Boytsov, Helenius or Price. Maybe even Team Fury would use him as a good step up fight for Hughie fury. A fight I think Hughie would win.

Can't wait to see AJ face off aginst Hughie if they remain undefeated,Im tagging Hughie to win,kinda like AJ but he's a little stiff.
