Orlov is a monster of a human being.

The promoters in bringing out Orlov must be expecting an early night at the hands of Alex as Orlov has only fought 3 rounders in his last 4 fights and lost two of them on points.

Sounds like a nice little holiday for Orlov.

If Leapai does not beat this glandular case something is wrong.

As I'm sure you're aware, he was involved in 3 rounders because he was in "Prizefighter" type tournaments. Getting your ribs busted or head caved in doesn't sound like an ideal holiday to me.

He could always take the approach taken by many of Mike Tyson's opponents who stayed down when first knocked down as they saw no sense in getting up.

They still got nice paydays.

got outpointed in the first round by Greg Tony (who id tipped previously but failed to impress).

i dont know... i wouldnt be in a hurry to pitch any 6ft guy in with a 6ft9 lug if i could help it..... they're all elbows

Keep in mind that Alex KOed Okello Peter in three rounds in his last fight. ;;-)

That was a BS decision; Orlov clearly should've won.

Have a look at the men who have beaten Orlov lately and see if you think they are as good as the men Leapai has been beating lately.

Clearly they are not, but that doesn't change the fact that Orlov was robbed against Tony.

Is Tony any guide to form? France is not exactly famous for its heavyweights.

Does anybody know how this went?

thanks - did he look as raw as he usually does? Did you watch the fight?

Alex struggled with the reach and general size of orlov. But then staggered the Russian with an over hand right in the 4th, closed him down and then landed the mother of all uppercuts. Russian dropped HARD. Tony kettlewell could of counted to 100. Place went mental.
Orlov lost a point in round 3 for pushing alexs head down.

He certainly does have power.

Yep. He can whack a bit

he's making steady progress.

Solid win for Leapai. Orlov has gone the distance with some good fighters.

What next for Leapai?

Saw the photo of the two boxers facing off. Apart from his height the most outstanding thing about Orlov seemed to be his gut.

This fight should have been on fox!!

Alex fights a guy like this and we don't get to see it.

Fox didn't want to put anything up against the bronze medal World Cup Rugby game.

"Molecule from Hell." That's one big molecule!

You would have thought Alex would have needed an elephant gun to bring something that big down. Good stuff, Alex!
