    Nah, Szpilka fought scared against Jennings. He'd poop his pants against Wilder. His punching power is extremely overrated and he's open and chinny to boot. I expect a fairly early KO here.

      Don't know of Takam made it out of his fight w/o a scratch or if he'd take it on a short-ish turnaround.

      Unfortunate that they didn't have a back up plan so close to the date, but they should really get Spilzka since his fight was cancelled, he's on the list, fought on TV a few times and is levels above Fujimoto who's somehow on the list.

      Also they'll probably announce it today since they're talking about Wilder on Showtime now
      Fujimoto was offered the fight before Duhaupas so it is not out of the question that he will be the opponent. If it is that would be an embarrassing fight. Takam would be interesting because of his aggressive style & solid chin. He could be too much a risk. That mando with povetkin will happen by the summer & it is too big a payday to risk vs a live body like Takam.

          I'm hoping it's Hughie Fury.

          When Hughie gets busted up, it will force Tyson to come for revenge.

            So looks like Szpilka was indeed the plan B, but not done yet.

            Probably because they're offering Szpilka same amount or less that they offered Adamek

                Is Adamek out of the picture? Did he turn the fight down or what?

                    Szpilka is a decent opponent 6 weeks out. Szpika's been training too because he was initially going to fight Mansour on the Dec. 12th NBC card.

The only name i could come up with was someone like pulev.

                      Has anyone else heard anything? I mean hes obviously trying to make a real legit fight its just not working out for him
