Fujimoto fought yesterday. I doubt its him

And Zhang fights on Friday, which means both would have had warm ups. Kyotaro fought a effing Super Middleweight, disgusting

Yeah. This is a valid reason why Fujimoto is not out of the running. They'd both fight bums at nearly the same time frame, and then meet-up.

However, I'd still consider the possibility that it could be Wallin, Spong, or Fa. Hopefully it's not Tetteh or Demirezen; because that is pathetically not worth making a press release over.

Think Fa has a fight lined up for Belgium or something weird

So it's not going to be Zhilei vs Ugonoh. Izu will be back at Michalczewski's benefis on December 8 in Michalczewski's hometown of Gdańsk. Special guests will be Vitali Klitschko, Juan Carlos Gomez and artist Bruno Bruni.

It's Ustinov

What a shower of shit that entire card is

Well, while it's not quite the top contender that they promised, Ustinov is definitely a step up in comp. for Zhang & should provide us with an indicator of where he stands in the division. If he blows right through him then we'll know that he has the potential to become a legit top ten - top twenty contender. If he struggles though or somehow manages to lose then we'll know that he's likely a bust.

OOGIEBE where have you been? I haven't seen you post in a while

Zhang vs Ustinov - his biggest move up yet, by far. Zhang has won his last 13 out of 14 fights by KO mostly in round one but none longer than 3. But they've been keeping him under wraps. It's almost impossible to find any videos of him. If a Chinese heavyweight does well it will be a big thing in China, the largest population country in the world. I'm looking forward to this one.

Ustinov weighs like 300 pounds.

Should have him against Miller

I don't want to see Ustinov fight anyone after his pathetic showing against Charr.
He is not anything special and is way over the hill

He was never special. Lost his step up fight against Pulev was it? Had a padded record, looks good on paper without seeing who he fought.

Exactly. I predicted Charr would beat him but I didn't think he would beat him that easily

Cripes!
I didn't realise how old Ustinov was.

He has been off my radar for so long it kinda snuck up didn't it?

One fighter is called Big Bang, the other has been around since the actual event!

Badda bish!
I'm here all week

He's been around forever. Never was a world beater to begin with. Not terrible by any standards but when the Charr fight was brought up before hand it was Ustinov who was the clear favorite. I couldn't understand what people saw in him

I just checked boxrec. The last time I saw him was 2013 against a shot Tuaman. No wonder I was surprised how old he is.

Confusing. The other Zhang, Junlong Dragon King Zhang, is ranked #1 in China and his record is 19-0 all by ko in 1st 2nd or 3rd round - but he hasn't fought in ten months! Where is he? This Zhang, Zhilei Big Bang Zhang, has been fighting regularly. I hate to tell you but the #5 ranked light heavy in China is also named Zhang. It's actually pronounced more like the "jo" in John.
