Patrick Nielsen vs Dmitry Chudinov confirmed for June 1. WBA MW.

[LacedUp]

WBA is also not going to shut him out permanently.

They'll most likely Super GGG

I mistakenly thought he was Super already - but that was declined last time, wasn't it?

Anyways, a nielsen - GGG fight wouldn't make sense for anyone involved. Doubt HBO would like that fight as well.

Nah ,and I don't know what was up with that. these guys get hard ons for making supers, so they would've had one for this, especially if it meant Murray had one and could defend it in England.

They do.

But there's nothing worse than hearing a promoter call their 'regular' champion a world champion.

It's the same as a damn interim belt or intercontinental belt - just with a higher ranking.
Pathetic.

They even call interim champs world champs.... of course they forget the interim part.

Anyway, Chudinov is not that good at all....Nielsen should win wherever the fight is

Interesting matchup.

Well I doubt that he can win on points. It's quite a risk going to Moscow. Then again, it's not like Patricks viewing figures is impressive at home so maybe a good win abroad would elevate his status.

It seems like the russians are making an impact on the pro-scene now. I fully expect more and more big fights moving east.

Chudinov got Hyrnov backing him... so who knows.

I think Nielsen is definitely skilled enough to win 10-2 easy

He'll need to dominate that much to get the decision. I haven't seen Chudinov yet, but there's a lot of his fights on youtube, so I'll look them up soon.

IMO, he's not that good.

IMO, he's not that good.

He's only had 14 fights. I can see that he drew against Mendy after Nielsen won a decision over him.

Since then Nielsen has become significantly better. Trainer Joey Gamache has done a good job on him.

Judging from that, Nielsen should be favoured in a neutral setting.
