Despite the rumors of Calvin Kattar being off XCFL’s debut event, he is fighting and his new opponent is Bombsquad fighter Don Carlo-Clauss. This has potential to be Calvin’s toughest fight to date as Carlo-Clauss is a more accomplished wrestler than Kattar, and he also has solid boxing. He may not be the biggest striker Calvin has fought, but Carlo-Clauss is most definitely the most technical boxer he’s faced, and he also fought the majority of his fights at 170, so he should be bigger than Kattar.
Either way, I’m much more interested in this fight than I was the Taylor Solomon fight, and this is an upgrade to the card in my eyes. This one is dangerous for Calvin because Carlo-Clauss should be able to take him down, and he’s been training for Solomon, who is more of a banger than a technical boxer with strong wrestling. However, this is still Calvin Kattar we’re talking about, and he’s looked great in just about all of his fights, and he can knock most local guys in his weight class out. This should be a great fight, for sure.

Nice, this certainly is a better fight than the un-know (to most of “us”) Solomon. I think Clauss is a tough competitor, who likes to push the pace. Kattar is a beast though, and I think he’ll get the W. Good luck to both!!
