So these guys are set to face off in what I think is a pretty evenly matched fight. Neither is a huge puncher but I expect we could see a stoppage in this fight. What do you guys figure happens in this match?
I think Dimitrenko wins by decision.

I think Dimintrenko will win this pretty easily. Haven't been hot on Sosnowski since he almost got KOed by Zuri. I think Sosnowski is just too small for HW. I think he could probably make Cruiser.Quote:

I think it will but only if Dimitrenko allows it to be. He's got a soft chin and poor stamina so I could see him trying to jab and grab alot, but I hope Sosnowski takes none of it.Quote:

Dimitrenko should take this but Sosnowski will make him work for it.
I hope Sosnowski knocks him out...I don't like Dimitrenko IMO he is a pussy...just watch the Chambers fight and you know what I mean...when he gets pressured he will soon break down...
Krasniqi was pushing him pretty hard too before the KOQuote:

Alexander Dimitrenko 253.7 vs. Albert Sosnowski 224.8
(EBU European Championship Heavyweight)
I think Dimitrenko will win on points...somewhere in the 117-111 range.
Sosnowski is fighting a German in Germany, he needs a knockout to win.
Bookies favour Dimitrienko. Like CFH said, KO is Sosnowski's only option. If he trained properly should be very interesting fight.
Dimitrenko is UkrainianQuote:

It's like Bute being favoured in Montreal; he was born in Romania, but at this point he's essentially Quebecois.Quote:

What's up JohnnyBoy...
Been a while since we last had a word.
Hope all is good out there with you.
I see this as a clear UD win for "Sascha" I think he's got the skills to do it.
If he pushes hard enough he might get the TKO but I think Sascha is a bit of a safety 1st fighter so I don't think he'll risk much.
Then again maybe Vitali left some big dents on The Dragon and Sascha will take advantge of that.
It's hard not to like Sosnowski, he's a hard working guy and grafted his way through to a title fight, and showed plenty of heart against Klitschko, so hopefully he can expose Dimitrenko.
However, there is a part of me that wants Dimitrenko to win, because it was Sosnowski''s withdrawal that led to Harrison v Sprott being an European title fight, and thus led to the farcicle Haye v Harrison. Personally, I can just about forgive him for that.
Fight canceled because Dimitrienko fainted during warm up?
It'd be easy to lay in to Dimitrenko, and speculate as to what happened to him there, but I'm sure the real story will come out in subsequent weeks. Looked like quite a competitive fight, but for him to get ill in that way he wasn't going to be going forward and fighting tonight.Quote:

Fainted during sparring, another match canceled? Heavyweight boxing down the toilet again?
Rather then rant on what's wrong with heavyweight boxing I'll just use this guy.
What Hardcore Boxing fans think when they look at the heavyweight division(P.S. may wanna turn speakers low for this lol)

:p
this isn't exactly the greatest news ever for the prediction contest.
Such shameless ducking of Sosnowski. Dimitrenko has no shame going through that extreme.
Seems strange but they are saying food poising. If thats the case, I would say that it was no freak accident, but then again who knows. Hope hes OK
Sure does look like he faking to me. PitifulQuote:
