Billy Dib is one of my least favorite boxers. I'm hoping Gradovich KHTFO and early.

Is Gradovich any good?

I'm looking forward to Nelson v Medina to bring the joy on this card! Dib is just awful and Fonzie without the cool or the game! Never watched Evgeny Gradovich fight but any Russian out of Kentucky gets my support

I've never seen Gradovich before, just hope he's not a Charlie Z.
Dib is a dick, he's cocky and he's just not the slick boxer he thinks
he is. His style just makes me want to see him lose. He's Hopkins
dirty and definitely not the brain to make up for it.

Never seen this Russian fight before and can't find any footage of him online. My guess is that he ain't that good and Dib steam rolls through him. I'd like to be wrong and see a cracking fight tho

I haven't seen him fight either but I heard he's pretty good. He throws a shit load of punches from what I've heard.

I found some videos. The Frankie Leal fight is supposed to be his best performance. I'll watch these later.

Indeed, Dib is a douche

Seem like I recall Willie Nelson the boxer being a black dude and I don't think his parents had a clue who Willie Nelson the white country singer was, it's just a coincidence. (I could be wrong)

Don't understand the hate for Dib but have at it.

Dib wins this fight.

I really like the looks of Nelson, ever improving fighter & one to watch at 154 imo

He has the freakish frame for sure. Fun fighter who mixes it up a bit and knows what its like to be on the brink and come back.

The Johnson victory made me take notice, but I had been interested in him since he iced Feliciano

Dib wins this fight.

I think i've seen him fight a time or 2, don't know much about him tho, other then he's an Australian Pro with a good record 34 wins - 21 by KO and only 1 loss.

Good card for FNF.

FNF starts @9:00 PM ET tomorrow night and @2:00 Saturday in the UK.
