Are either largely untested Istvan Szili or Antoine Douglas made from sausage? The grilling takes place July 17?
?It is not enough to be Hungarian; you must have talent as well.??Alexander Korda
Middleweights Istvan Szili and Antoine Douglas face off over a scheduled 10 rounds at Sands Casino Resort in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, on Friday, July 17. The fight will air on Showtime (10 p.m. ET).
Born in Szombathely, Hungary, 32-year-old Szili now fights out of Frenkendorf, Switzerland. A pro since 2009, ?The Prince? has a record of 18 wins, eight by knockout, no losses, and two draws. Szili most recently fought in August 2014, winning the vacant Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) World middleweight title by stopping Mathias Zemski via sixth-round TKO. The upcoming bout marks the first time Szili will fight in the United States.
Twenty-two-year-old Douglas, fighting out of Burke, Virginia, is a three-year pro with a record of 17 wins, 11 by knockout, no losses, and one draw. ?Action? last fought in March, winning the vacant WBA Fedelatin middleweight title by stopping previously unbeaten Thomas LaManna via sixth-round TKO. Douglas is ranked #14 by the WBA.
There?s a characteristically Hungarian saying, ?The fence is not made from sausage.? Hungarian? It?s positively Gaborian. But I believe I?m correct in translating it for all you hipsters out there as, ?He ain?t even all dat.?
Are either largely untested Szili or Douglas made from sausage?
