I think this may be the first card in a while where I am interested in every single fight. Even the Callum Smith fight.
On that, which do you guys think will be the best fight, and which do you think will be the weakest?
He's more fun to watch than Shakur, not that that's a high bar... Shakur's major flaw is retreating in a straight line. Kid Austin likes to follow opponents out with leaping attacks, so it's remotely possible he'll be able to catch Shakur doing that. Far more likely that he gets timed and countered mid air with all that momentum multiplying the force of Shakur's punch, but we can always hope. I'm picking Shakur to win by clear decision at worst, and since I've been getting them all wrong this season, hopefully that will translate into a huge upset.
I’m debating taking Floyd
I just think Shakur , as of late , has been getting high on his own supply so to say
Hoping your right with your wrong pick lol
It's a tremendous card. Very rare Nash watches more than the main event and the second main fight, as the rest are card fillers, prospects fighting bums, etc, but watching all this. Be good to enjoy a full night of boxing. Nash's tip. Zhang (the underdog in betting odds) to knockout Kabayel. Nash out - His Majesty
I can respect that
Not sure why but I took a liking to the kid

Same. He actually reminds me of a meaner, less polished version of Shakur.
I don't think he stands a chance but this is one of those big underdog moments for me, so I'll be rooting for him.
It all depends if the kid did his homework
Shakur is special but these are those moments where he can be remembered for something outstanding let alone being a dog in the fight
Many have risen and many more will rise

Kid has terrible footwork. Even if he's overlooking him, it still looks like a wide decision to me. Hopefully I'm jinxing Shakur cause I've been getting my butt kicked in Pick Em this season. But if I were going to pick a Shakur opponent who might get knocked down or out, it would be this one.

He will and might just pull a rabbit out of his ass on this one
Shakur seems to be to involved in future plans and might just be overlooking the kid

On paper the best fight is the main event and the weakest is shakur austin.
Outside of Shakur fight mismatch. I think the rest are not big mismatches, there are favourites, but if the other guy won no one would be shocked either. Can't wait will be flying out for it
I'm still disappointed in De Los Santos for helping set a division record for least punches thrown in a world title fight. Hopefully Kid will at least try to keep it entertaining.

I tip my hat to him just for stepping up
Not many boxers do that nowadays
Cheering for the kid

I'm about 90% sure Schofield isn't an exceptional talent. I might even consider picking Shakur by stoppage. Kid has flaws for days from what I've seen.

I think Shakur is an exceptional talent, but boring. I think Schofield could be an exceptional talent, we don't really know yet, but at least he has some entertainment value.
Shakur wins, it'll be a snoozer, but that slight whiff of "what if" guarantees I'll watch.

Is there, though? You high on Kid? Shakur "fights" are guaranteed to be snoozers.

I agree, and it's likely to be the snooziest as well.
However, there is that chance - that slight chance - that Schofield upsets the apple cart.

It's a mismatch, pure and simple.

The weakest fight figures to be the Stevenson fight. He's literally the only man on the card facing an opponent who isn't ranked in the top 8 of their respective divisions by the TBRB. It's a mismatch, pure and simple.
