OK Gents, looking ahead to next week it's all about the Cruiserweights... Usyk vs Bellew is in of course, though to my mind Glowacki vs Vlasov has the makings of one hell of a fight, and may turn out to be the more compelling bout of the pair.
Also from Chicago we got Breidis fighting Noel Ghevor, which I'm open to given the interest in the WBSS, but which on paper at least could be seen as a mismatch. That said Noel's only L (though only opponent of any real calibre) was a fairly tight fought match with Wlodarczyk when he was 26 so this fight could be more competitive then it might first appear, especially if the kid's developed some since then.
As things stand I'm only gonna do Usyk vs Breidis and Glowacki - Vlasov, but if there's enough interest I'm happy to put up Breidis vs Ghevor too.
Freaking Burnett, that was my last multiplier
My heart bleeds for you, man, though I can't help but observe as it does that I do have a multiplier left and that 50pts is not all that big a lead to make up as we come into the closing stages of the year... :boxing:
:)
EDIT: Actually damn, I hadn't totted up last weeks picks yet so I'd not seen your Derevyanchenko pick til now. This ish might well come down to the wire between the top 5 or 6 guys.
Those are definitely some good points to consider.
I'm guessing that age and coming back down in weight will effect him negatively but I could very well be wrong. But yeah, he doesn't look drained or particularly worn out.
I thought that the weight drop was gonna hurt him too... it was something like 2011 or so when he fought at 118. We will definitely see
NC Uppercut, Berchelt, KO, late
NC Uppercut, Donaire, KO, Mid
I was gonna go Burnett, until I saw the weigh in. Nonito didn’t look drained or dry, yea he might be getting older, but
there’s 2 things to really consider, and what made me pick him; 1 power is always the last to go, and we know Nonito can take shots so he’s got that advantage.
2 Donaire is gonna be effing huge tomorrow night! Mark my words.... he’ll put on 14-20 lbs! He’s gonna pull a Canelo! Lol
