Another tough fight for a European Heavyweight. These guys sure do push themselves.

gavern is a decent opponent but ustinov keeps fighting this level of competition & needs to start fighting B level guys like kevin johnson, fres oquendo, oliver mccall. gavern is a solid fighter but a C+ level gatekeeper at best. ustinov has a high rank & should be taking on top 20 guys now at this stage of his career. he & john banks both fight under the klitschko's K2 promotion. they should fight each other. i forgot banks has a NABF mandatory vs tony grano coming so this won't happen.

Ustinov wins this by UD in my opinion, Ustinov's potentially 3 fights away from a world title fight in my opinion, if he wins this then fights a Michael grant/Ray Austin and then a kevin Johnson he will be right up there knocking on the door of a title fight.
