    A truly great card put on by the Russian lads for next Wednesday. Shocking time to have it on, so more than likely, people will miss out but well worth pointing out if anyone has time to see it. Not sure what times fights are on, but I will update closer.

    Card includes:

    Cesar Rene Cuenca vs Eduard Troyanovsky - Cuenca trying to equal Floyd's recent 49-0 achievement. Personally I think he'll lose this one though, another victim of the Marciano curse.

    Rakhim Chakhkiev vs. Ola Afolabi - This is going to be an absolute cracker of a fight. Another reason the Cruiserweight division is bloody brilliant. Potential FOTY here. I hope Chakh wins, he's been doing very well since losing to Diablo and deserves another title shot.

    Alexander Povetkin vs. Mariusz Wach - the main event although should be an easy enough one for Povetkin who has looked incredible since he lost to Wlad. Considering that Wach was busted for PEDs and has had promoter/trainer difficulties I wouldn't be surprised that his massive iron chin of his gets done.

    Denis Lebedev vs. Lateef Kayode - Lebedev is a very very slick guy for his weight, easy on the eye and can bang. His opponent is undefeated, and has some decent names on his resume but I was never too convinced by him. Should be an easy win for the white swan.

    Dmitry Kudryashov vs. Olanrewaju Durodola - few people are scarier than Kudryashov. His power is insane. Outside of that though he is pretty average though, and has looked unimpressive though. He has one punch power that could potentially deck anyone though so he's highly dangerous. Should be a standard KO win.

    Dmitry Bivol vs. Jackson Junior - I mention this because I really think Bivol is gonna be huge. Really liked what I have seen of him so far. Another Eastern European prospect in the LHW division.

    All in all a very nice card. I love how the Russians always stack their cards with Cruiserweights, which is a fantastic division. You also have a pretty decent HW fight as well as a little bit of fame hunting for Cuenca. It's a card you'd wish that'd be on a Friday evening that you could pan out for the whole evening and just watch it...complete bummer it's on midweek. Ah well.

    Some big upsets! I always knew Kudra was weak defensively but I didn't think he'd get exposed here. Whoever told him to adopt the shoulder roll is an idiot...an accident waiting to happen.

    I dunno what happened Cuenca, looked very suspicious by all accounts...another one falls victim to the curse.

    Sad to see Chahkiev get KO'd again...he looked as though he was tired from the opening though. I think he should move up to HW.

    Good bloody card though.

    Sasha gets the stoppage on cuts...lets hope the fight with Wilder happens.
