What can I expect?

To be honest I don't know what to expect with Wladimir he is in my opinion the most "skilled" boxer in the Heavyweight Division but, the guy has issues with stamina. Strange when you realize he has a Doctorate in Physical Fitness. In the Samuel Peter fight he looked great early but was visibly winded as the fight went on, often clinching to avoid a Peter "hay maker".
On the other hand, Brock hasn't (in my view) been tested yet. Its going to be interesting to see if he can weather Wladimir's power. Don't be surprised if this turns into a Lightweight styled fight but with two guys 220+lbs. Also, Brock's record says he has some power, but can he land it and will it be enough to topple a guy who weighed in over 240lbs, I don't think he can so I predict the fight to end in a KO by Wladimir in the 7th or 8th..

I think that we can most definitely expect this match to end in a knock out. However I honestly can not see it being too competitive. Calvin Brock is a very good fighter, no doubt about that, but also very overrated at this point. Even though undefeated, so far he hasn't had a serious test in his career, certainly no man even remotely close to Wladimir's caliber. I think that he'll find him self overwhelmed in this match and loose it by a KO/TKO within seven or eight rounds. In fact I really expect this to be similar to Wladimir's last fight with Chris Byrd. He'll most likely set the pace and be completely dominant from start to finish. I see him continuously using the left jab to control Brock, keep him at bay and set him up for a big right straight or hook. In my opinion it will just be a matter of time before one of those gets through and puts Brock out. Calvin does have a punchers chance in this match, but once again, very unlikely. Wladimir has made such an incredible progress since working with Emanuel Steward, he is the best heavyweight in the world at this moment and I really think that there is no way that he'll allow any surprises tomorrow night.

Well these are two terrific punchers so it definitely could happen. If Brock let's Wlad get the jab off and set the pace he is in trouble. If Brock can get to Wlad's chin early then Wlad is in trouble.
I would say there is a 75% chance the fight ends in KO
