Osleys Iglesias and Vladimir Shishkin face off in an IBF super middleweight final eliminator on September 4, as fans gave their predictions.

Iglesias has an incredible knockout ratio, with 12 of his 13 wins coming by way of knockout. Standing in his way is Shishkin who is coming off the first loss of his professional career, a tight decision defeat to William Scull for the vacant IBF title. However, his impressive body of work includes victories over tough veterans like Jose Uzcategui and Sena Agbeko. Here is how the fans saw the fight playing out.

Pre-Fight

“I have to think and stay positive that I could get the fight against Canelo. But Canelo knows how to write and read, and he’s smart enough to duck a fight. I have a feeling he’s not going to fight me and vacate the title. I’m young and strong, and I don’t think he wants that. I understand getting in the ring with me will be difficult. But I still respect him.

"This is the kind of opportunity that I have been working hard for throughout my entire career. It’s important for me to make my mark and establish my name as a champion. I’m not planning for it to be a tight fight. I plan to win decisively. I welcome the knockout if the opportunity is there. I’m also ready for a 12-round fight. I’m investing all of my confidence in my preparation. Most of my professional technique has been developed in Germany,” said Iglesias. “I’ve been taught how to move my legs and be more of a finisher," Iglesias said
