    This fight is a done deal. Just needs a date.

    Browne represents Kov's first REAL test since Ward, but then again... Kov represents an astronomical jump in class for Browne.

    My gut tells me that Browne doesn't have the chin to beat Kov. But, he's a southpaw with fast hands and big power, so we'll see how Kov handles him. Looking forward to this one.

    P.S. I think HBO might secretly be hoping Browne wins. They desperately need young blood.

    I give Browne a good chance. His southpaw stance and hand speed will see him along of success against Kov.

    But I do suspect Kov will crush him late, no pun intended.

    Kov KO 10

    I used to be pretty high on browne, but the fight against the serb really showed his limitations. I think kovy krushes him

    If Browne does win, it wouldn't exactly be a Tyson-Douglas level upset. It'd be more than a minor upset, but less than a huge one.

    Kov looks ready to be taken by a young, hungry, talented guy. He point blank period is not the same fighter he was circa 2013.

    Browne has the talent and the power to pull the upset... the question is does he have the toughness? Not only the physical toughness, but is he mentally capable?

    Browne is out and Eleider Alvarez will be the replacement, which is a pretty good fight (though I expect Kovalev to krush him).

    Browne is a piece of shit, apparently.

    In his defense, it's not like if he punched her or even slapped her (he poked her in the face with his finger). Still, I'm always amazed at how some people manages to fuck up their life. This was his big chance and he wasted it before even stepping into the ring
