“This fight is definitely not going past 4 rounds. Either way it goes, I can’t see this fight going past 4 rounds. Someone is getting knocked out. This is why, this one of the most entertaining, most intriguing fight in years in heavyweight boxing. Because of what it is, you have an extremely hard puncher and you have a hard puncher, and they’re both going at it. Both have bad blood. Both want to rip each other up. That’s what makes it intriguing, that’s what makes it’s exciting. Even when you see it, you’re like; they want to hurt each other. So that’s what everyone wants to see, a fight where someone is going to get hurt, and that’s what makes this fight so exciting.”
