Great photos Oliver....Honestly, I didn't take anything seriously or personally. I really mean it. You can still go duck hunting with Hape though...LOL! just kidding...He!he!

The picture on the right has backed up the point I was making before. It's not that easy hitting Hoost with a right cross as he throws his trade mark leg kicks....Look at the photo, he ducks sharply to the right (away from the centre line of a right cross counter) while hiding his head with his left hand (just in case it's a round house right counter). Mark is not the first, (and certainly will not be the last) who often deliberately trying to take Hoost low kicks, so he can intercept him with a right cross.....but only to find Mr. Perfect is not there...LOL!

If you drift in, he would slap your right or left glove with his right hand. This would temporary put an opponent off balance (believe it or not) for a split second (or lose thier range), than throws body shots combined with low or high kicks, than he's away....or change angle. And if you charge forward carelessly, remember he has more than average right cross punch to put anybody away....especially in such a position that would double the impact and make his punches harder than it should...And he never lose his cool....He always hit what is opened or exposed. Not like some fighters I've seen recently...LOL! Hape and Dixon know who these guys are I'm talking about....he!he!

That's why I said, it would be good for Mark if Leko beats Hoost (but we all know Hoost capabilities). Leko is a good techical fighter who is very tough, but his toughness is often his weak points. In my observation, he is just the type of fighter that would start with a good fight plan to stick and move against someone like Mark, but once he gets hit, the fight plan would go out the window and time to brawl....which would suite Mark Hunt.....As for Ignashov, I haven't seen him fight so I can't predict...but of course I wish Mark wins.....
