On 15th January no less Yiliterate said:

So, the two recently-announced world heavyweight title contests feature fighters with a combined record of 111 wins and 0 losses, with 100 of those wins coming by KO.

Well, I’ve known it worse in the division...

So Kell Brook, any views on the fight? Going to be a big test for him emotionally and psychologically, never mind the other fighter.

He'll wipe the floor with the guy. Brook is a very tough guy and won't be affected

[Chad_Hugo]

Really hope Kell win's, he has been very badly managed as a fighter (the Golovkin fight and the damage resulting from it being just one example) and very unlucky in many ways over the course of his career so I hope his last few fights allow him to go out on a high.

Late KO tonight I think.

There is so much boxing on this weekend I nearly forgot about the John Taylor fight

Wilder weighs in at...wait for it...214lbs!!!!

Normally 220-230lbs...

[CAH706]

I think Brook will win by late stoppage and wilder by mid round stoppage.

That said I’ve bet on a Rabchenko win and an Ortiz win on points. 100-1 for this both to happen so felt like aFun sporting bet.

[Purso]

Ortiz looks a bit fleshy on the scales, probably happens when you get to 60.

[CAH706]

He never looks great. Interesting fight as Ortiz could be hardwork for Wilder if he can perform at the level he has shown previously. Of late he has looked poor though.

Wilder is lightening fast but he is light for a modern heavyweight.

[FredClogs]

There's no doubt Kell is a good fighter and a tough fella but I have my concerns, after seeing De Gales last performance it's all to clear what can happen to a fighter who isn't 100% and Kell has metal plates in botg his eye sockets... I mean seriously, who can honestly say how that will affect him mentally and physically? I'm not even sure I'm comfortable with the fact he's been licensed to box again, I'm not a doctor but have to admit it worries me. Fingers crossed.

[Yiliterate]

This is crazy...but fair play to this guy!
