AJ stops Wallin between 8-12. Wallin always fades late, AJ will punish him for it.
Wilder Knocks out Parker in 7 after Parker makes a good start
Miller grinds down Dubois and stops him in 9.
Bivol stops Arthur, corner stops the fight.
Makhmudov v Kabayel is competitive with Makhmudov winning a disputed decision
The rest are too one sided to bother predicting
What say you?
Wallin beats Joshua by a decision
Parker stops Wilder
BIvol stops Arthur in late rounds
Miller stops Dubois
Makhmudov stops Kabayel
Sanchez beats Fa by a decision
Hrgovic stops the guy he fights
Maybe the shock will be Sanchez is in an entertaining fight.
Idk I reckon all the favorites will win by hook or by crook. I am mainly enjoying the spectacle of EIGHT heavy(ish)weight fights in a row. Definitely open to be shocked as a bonus too~
Yeah, Parker is probably the shock If it happens. And it's really only a bit of a shock because people are Imagining Wilder of a few years ago. He might be nowhere near that now, how would we know?
Usually when you get a shock you can look back and see there were some markers there... this one's got loads of them.
Wilder's age and inactivity are huge markers. He might do what he's always done, but it may also not be there. And Parker would be his most credentialed opponent outside of Fury - it's actually a step up fight at 38!
I know Parker has faded in recent years, but at 31 there just might be more left in him and the fact he's been competing at a top 10 kind of level might be telling.
Odds are that Wilder can still deliver that long right, and that he does at some point. But one day he won't have that anymore... this looks more likely than any other time to date.
Wallin takes AJ the distance but loses wide.
Parker stops Wilder 8-9 and it becomes clear that Wilder was finished.
Dubois stops Miller in 7. Fun fight for a few rounds but wide gap in ability.
Bivol dominates and stops Arthur in 5.
Makhmudov stops Kabayel inside 3.
They're interesting enough fights to think there'll be at least one 'shock'. My money is on Parker to be the one.

Wallin beating AJ would be a shock to me because I doubt he stops AJ, and I don't think he's really good enough to school AJ for a wide decision. Considering AJ is lined up for another big Saudi fight, Wallin would need about 9 or 10 very clear rounds to get a decision and I don't think he's good enough for that.
