Now there's a guy I haven't from in years. I think at one point he was a prospect but was sidelined indefinitely after an injury or something. Good to hear Ortiz back in the action - he needed to stay active to keep his (wba) ranking

Povetkin-Wawrzyk weigh-in:

Szpilka, Kolodziej and Wlodarczyk standing next to Wawrzyk there.

Povetkin Wawrzyk is taking place in Russia, so its EARLIER than most of the fights due to time zones. Fight should be on in around 5-6 hours imo.

Michael Buffer also really trying his level-best to look and sound vaguely interested in that video as well.....

...............perhaps he went shopping in the Mall afterwards?

Hopefully the fight has a bit more drama and sparkle than the weigh-in.
