Shane Michael "Choppa" Chapman VS Dimitry "The Shock" Shakuta
This fight is titled “Super Prestige Fight” and it really lives up to its name. It features two of SuperLeagues finest. Dimitry “The Shock” Shakuta versus Shane Michael “Coppa” Chapman. Chapman is now moving into the super middleweight division (-76 kg) due to the fact that he got problems making the -73 kg weight limit for the middleweight division. “It’s getting harder and harder to make the weight each time. I‘m losing too much of my power and strength when dropping down that much” says Chapman. He will certainly not get an easy start in this for him new weight division as he will go straight for the top dog facing Dimitry “The Shock” Shakuta. Shakuta who has been dominating the super middleweight division for a long time now is a very tactical fighter and this looks too be a very tough fight. Both fighters have impressive records with fights all around the world. The big question mark is how Chapman will adapt to the new weight division. One thing is for sure this is a great mach up and the fans will be winners either way watching this fight.
