Wach vs Dimitrenko for a title eliminator, they both had good upset wins

[BigZ44]

So Teper has lost twice now and looked bad against Rossy since coming back from the suspension. He's done without the roids. Wach vs Dimitrenko could actually be solid, I also wouldn't mind a rematch between Wach and Hammer for the Euro title.

I wouldn't say Teper was the favorite. I thought they were about the same level. B level fringe contenders in the top 15-30. Teper actually shed 10lbs for this fight. I will watch it later as I have a few fights to catch up on. Wach hadn't looked good recently but this was a good crossroads fight that he won. I won't comment further until I watch the fight.

Hammer has now taken care of Teper & Price. I wouldn't mind seeing him rematch Wach. It has been awhile but wasn't it a TKO because Hammer injured his shoulder & retired in the corner? I would have to watch it again. I got so many fights I sometimes forget things. Teper throws a lot of punches for a pear shaped fighter. Could it be the PEDS were giving him the power boost like Povetkin? Teper can still fight on the European level for sure. He ain't done yet. The HW division is starting to shape up nicely. Fringe guys are fighting each other & prospects are getting exposed when they step up. I think the division is on the rise. Add Bellow, Haye (when recovers), the Furys & a whole other group of HWs. Mansour/Kauffman, breazeale/ugonoh, granat/dimitrenko, wach/teper, Bellow/Haye are 5 decent non title fights that just happened in the last 2 weeks. Joshua/klitschko & Parker/Fury next, Briggs/Oquendo in a **** fight for a WBA trinket. Wilder just beat Washington. Guys are fighting each other now. Chisora/Whyte in this past December. There have been some really good fights the last 6 months...

I agree Joe, nice to see we are starting to get some clarity in the division. I agree Teper can still serve a purpose at the Euro level, but after the KO of Price some people were saying it would be dangerous for Joshua to fight him for the European title. He simply hasn't looked the same since coming back without the roids. Will be interesting to see if Wach or Dimitrenko can parlay these wins into another big fight. Still can't believe Grant was KO'd in the 1st rd. Looking forward to all the big upcoming fights in the HW division, although it looks like it's gonna be pretty quiet on that front until the big one in Wembley at the end of April.

I can't help feeling Erik Skoglund is being neglected by the EBU, I'm sure he deals with Stieglitz & Sjekloca!

Sjekloca is a 38-year-old featherfisted scrub, the kind of guy Stieglitz has fought his whole career, save for Abraham. Can't imagine he'll fight Skoglund unless forced into it

I did not see the fight so was this draw a gift??
seems he's not the same @ higher weight but w/more than 60 fights time maybe catching up with Robert

[SN!PER]

Wilder needs to stay away from Wach.

He's gonna break his right hand on that big stone head.
