I don't know why you guys are all so critical of this fight.

It's clearly a big deal to move up not one but two weight divisions and he doesn't want to risk losing or looking out of his depth.

This Kolle's record isn't too shabby. Losing to Andre ward is certainly no shame and he's won 6 straight since including a win over Vanda. He may have gone life and death with him as Mick said but then so did Julio Caesar Chavez last time out and Vanda represented his biggest fight so far.

Seeing as Kolle has beat Vanda he seems a reasonable water tester for Williams who would be jumping up 13 lbs in one go.

I see no problem with this fight and look forward with interest to see how he looks and fills out at what would seem to be his natural weight class.
