Heavyweight Schedule for 2018

[joe strong]

just watched the pulev\ustinov fight. pulev has really impressed me in his last 2 fights he made both dimitrenko & ustinov quit. he handed ustinov a serious beating. solid jab, good rights & he showed a good chin. ustinov is too big & slow. he needs to drop 25lbs to be more agile. he does have good power because every clean shot he landed pushed pulev back but there just wasn't enough of them. i have no doubt ustinov will become a euro gatekeeper for guys like fury & price. he is a B level fringe contender. pulev could use 1 or 2 more big fights vs quality opposition. i'd fight chisora, adamek or helenius if he is healthy(probably needs a tuneup after surgery & layoff). i'd target chisora because he is another tough fringe contender with some quality experience. pulev is a top 3 contender along with haye & helenius. going into this fight ustinov really had limited experience. he had wins over manswell, gavern & sprott. this was a HUGE step up!

Bogdan Dinu, a talented but poorly managed heavyweight from Romania, will finally be fighting again on Nov 3.

He'll be fighting on an Interbox card. I'm hoping that he's signed with them, I hate to see his talent going to waste.

Kimbo Slice won by KO over Howard Jones, but some observers thought Jones took a dive.

Most obvious farce yet. The guy looked like he was afraid to hit back.

Robert Helenius is set to fight for the 18th time in Helsinki on November 10, according to a report from Finnish Broadcasting Company YLE’s sports news service YLE Urheilu.

They mention a possible rematch with Dereck Chisora in 2013, if Helenius is completely healed.

Good new, he need to come back in the game. Some good fights are coming in 2013 i think.
