What the heck? For you Owen Beck, 29-4, 20 KO’s, fans out there, you will be happy to know that he is going to be featured this Friday against Tony Thompson, 33-2, 21 KO’s, in a 10 round heavyweight match up.
Even though Beck is only 33 years of age, it seems like he has been around forever. He has only lost four times, but he is 5-4 in his last nine fights. He barely picked up a split decision over Andrew Greeley, a fighter with a record of 14-27-2, and was stopped in his last fight against undefeated Manuel Charr. Beck is an active heavyweight, a fighter out of the mold of a Clifford Etienne. He bobs and weaves and tries to work inside. He came close to landing a title shot when he lost a split decision to Ray Austin in a title eliminator in 2005. When he finally got his shot at a title, WBA Champion, Nikolay Valuev sent him packing in three rounds.
Beck is beyond his better fighting years and with Thompson intent on returning to the title picture, this may be a tough outing for “What the Heck.” Thompson got his shot at the IBO/IBF/WBO Champion, Wladimir Klitschko. He would lose via KO in 11. He seemed a little green for the shot and froze, but he is back and expect him to beat Beck rather easily come Friday night.
