It's a long way from Oregon to Monte Carlo and Wilson should be a willing railroad spike. Wouldn't be shocked to see smaller Hunter come in and box the ears of Usitnov.

Yafai vs Gonzalez: Kal Yafai stripped naked on the scales to make weight for WBA title defence
Kal Yafai stripped naked on the scales as he made weight for his WBA title defence against Israel Gonzalez in Monte Carlo.
The WBA super-flyweight champion was marginally over the 8st 3lb mark at the first attempt, then removed his pants to make weight, with Mexican Gonzalez also inside the limit for Saturday's title fight, live on Sky Sports.
Fellow Brit Frank Buglioni successfully made light-heavyweight for his fight against Fanlong Meng, who was also inside the required 12st 7lbs.
Former world champion Denis Lebedev returns to action as he takes on American Mike Wilson and both men had no problems making the cruiserweight limit.
Standing at 6′7½'' tall, Alexander Ustinov has a height and weight advantage over opponent Michael Hunter, with the Russian tipping the scales at over a stone more than the Californian heavyweight.
Daniyar Yeleussinov, a 2016 Olympic gold medallist, also appears on the bill as he targets a fifth professional victory over Marcos Mojica.
Watch a huge night of action in Monaco with Yafai vs Gonzalez, Lebedev vs Wilson and Buglioni vs Meng live on Sky Sports Arena from 7pm and Main Event from 7.45pm this Saturday.

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
It's on dazn so I'm going to be watching, never heard of this Wilson fellow though.. seems like a weird card but wotever, I don't think lebedev is that good.
Wilson and Hunter are both in their prime and should beat the faded old fighters Lebedev (age 39) and Ustinov (turns 42 in two weeks).
But Lebedev once was a top cruiserweight, so if he has anything left there's a possibility of an upset in that one.
Here's the full card: http://boxrec.com/en/event/776705
Ustinov is slow but big against Hunter who wins the first round with solid punches and attacks.
1-0 Hunter
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Hunter landing looping big right hands against Ustinov in the 2nd to win it but Hunter is getting tired
2-0 Hunter
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Lebedev still looked good against Gasiev not long ago, easily could’ve got the decision. I haven’t seen Wilson, but look at his record. He’s been fed cans and is already 35 himself, I don’t think he’s supposed to win here. Hunter toying with Ustinov as expected, who was really never much good.
