That's a great fight!

I like both guys a lot, think Koch will pull it out.

Duke Roufus and his camp (Roufusport) is a camp to look out for in 2011, and Koch is a fighter to look out for from that camp. Koch just had a big head kick KO win over his last opponent, and he’s young with a lot of potential.

I won't jump off the bandwagon just because you lost.

Koch should cruise here.

Cub is tough though and has somewhat good striking to match up but I think he will get floored. Just an opinion

Both guys are dynamic strikers

should be an extremely entertaining fight.
