He's more seasoned, and has fought better opposition imo, and is a solid fighter in his own right. Wallin having Fury on his resume doesnt change the fact that that is the only top 30 fighter hes faced in a pro fight. Wallin looks to be a solid southpaw, tough as nails but not much more and that isn't exceptional to me when I look at the entire division.
If Wallin doesn't cut Fury, the drama of that fight is significantly reduced. I don't read into cuts, they aren't the same as a knockdown, and I don't let blood sway my assessment of how a fight went. Wallin got beaten from pillar to post in that fight, he certainly didn't make Fury go life and death like some make it seem.
I'm excited to see what he can do because he put himself on the map with a great accounting of himself but that's not different than Duhaupas making his fight with Wilder exciting, he still lost and badly.Comment

I rate Wallin as a boxer, i posted numerous times that the fury fight was a real fight when everyone said it was another tom schwartz walkover joke fight. I think hes one of the best skilled southpaw boxers in the division, ive followed him since he beat Granat (he was an underdog for that fight) Its a shame the Kabayal fight fell through a couple of years ago as that would of been a great gauge to see where both were at for the European HW title. If he sits down on his punches more i think he can maybe challenge for the title again down the lineComment

Otto been fighting nothing but cans. A win over Kauffman would be Otto's best win of his career. Let's not overrate Otto and think he beats a lot of fighters easily because of his performance against Fury. Otto still has a lot to prove.Comment

Otto is a good fighter, he passes the eye test. I'm not claiming that he's a world beater, but he'll beat Kauffman.Comment
