Savon is Felix's nephew. Really curious to see if he inherited enough of that DNA.

I've never seen him fight. He's young so maybe this doesn't mean much, but I read he's been stopped a couple of times (of course that doesn't necessarily mean knocked out).

WAR OSCAR VALDEZ!!!, almost got the stoppage at the end.

I hope Top Rank gets him, they know how to make a Star.

WAR VALDEZ

No Audleys here, we got Big Josh, we got Stalker, we got Campbell, we got Selby. All big medal hopes. Ogogo's a go-go-ing home, though I hope I'm wrong. Never liked him all that much, he's a bit of a prick with his Big Brother and Subway stuff.

Any good prospects to look out for?? Aside from the American boxers, I want to make an effort to watch some of the international notables.

5'11 Italian HW Clemente Russo, he's already a TV Star in Italy by winning a Silver Medal in Beijing., Cammarelle won the Gold, he's also a star but doesn't like to appear in a lot of shows like Russo.

He will fight at HW in the Olympics, but he went unbeaten fighting Super Heavyweights at the World Series of Boxing, He's unbeaten there was the Champ of the first Edition, and in the second season he is unbeaten too, won the team championship with Milano, he could have fought the Individual final, but they decide to concentrate for the Olympics. He beat really giant fighters like Tony Yoka 6'6, and many others, in the final vs Medzhidov, he was outweighted by 25 pounds and still beat him.

In the Super HW's I want The Ecuadorian Tyson, the 18 year old Italo Perea to win a medal.

He has the best KO Power of anyone at Super HW.

I remember how he put down 3 times the Mexican Hiracheta at the Panamerican Games final here in Mexico.

A shame that he has to fight in the first fight vs Cammarelle, the other fighter that I like in the Super HW's.

"Tyson" stopped the Canadian fighter in a great KO, and beat the 6'6 USA Super HW to win the first place for the Olympic Qualyfing tournament of the Americas, he also won the Gold Medal at the Panamerican Games, stopping fighters on his way to the Gold.

He's a mix between Mike Tyson and Arthur Abraham, and only 18 years old.

WAR THE NEXT TYSON (but hey if Cammarelle wins I will be equaly happy)
