Should be an easy night for Wlad. I'm torn as to what I want to happen. In fights like this I always root for the underdog and it would be awesome if Austin put on a great fight and shocked the world BUT for the good of the heavyweight division we need Wlad to win convincingly.

Wlad, Peter, Valuev and Vitali really are the future of the division and we need all these guys to look good and win impressively in their fights. If/when one of them slips up it weakens the division as a whole.

Right now Wlad is in the best position of any fighter since Lewis to be the man to unify and be the next true heavyweight champ, Peter is the closest we got to Tyson and Valuev with his massive size and almost Marciano equalling unbeaten record are crucial to provide longterm interest in the division.

Let's hope Wlad keeps the ball in play this weekend with a comprehensive win and that Valuev can do the business against Chavez later in the spring.
