      I myself had considered a Zhang bet for a fleeting instant. But... would you have picked Zhang to win here?

        I might have done - it depends on how others bet - a strategic pick when it has a chance can be a good thing.

          I'm thinking you mammoth and siablo would cover the bases pretty well. Mammoth is kinda reseved but I value his opinions deeply, you've shown time and again that you know your stuff and siablos an enthusiast but prefers to err on the side of not putting in unnecessary fights. Honestly my biggest issue usually is combatting bloat - the temptation to throw fights in just because - and siablo wouldhelp moderate that I reckon. Whole lot of guys whose judgement I trust enough but it's really about who's got that little bit of time or who's willing to commit.
          Probably just Davis-Garcia and Cordina-Rakhimov this week?

                Although .................................................. .......... >>>

                there is Babic vs Rozanski for the WBC bridgerweight title - both are savages [infact Babic's apodo is The Savage] and both unbeaten - Babic is a whole lotta fun to watch and I understand Rozanski is from the same mold - can't find the odds but pretty sure this is a competitive fight

                It is a Boxrec 2* fight but tbh I'm not a fan of Boxrec's rating system as it's well iffy sometimes

                      I can't find them anywhere, so I'm going to make some. Lukasz Rozanski hasn't fought in 21 months. He's 37. Boxrec says his opponents are lesser than Alen Babic's but he's KO'd all of them anyway. Babic fought 10 months ago. He's 34. He probably has more wear and tear on him. He has Ko'd 10 out of 11. His last fight was a rock-em sock em and he endured tough moments.

                      I say Babic is -240 and Rozanski is +300

                      Meanwhile, from another boxing site

                      "Since this has round of the year written all over it, as in, it'll probably last just under 1 round, possibly with both men touching the canvass on multiple occasions. This match should really be getting a hell of a lot more attention than it is. Łukasz last fought a month shy of two years ago, against Artur Szpilka, where he KO'd him in one round. He was dropped 7 seconds into the match with a straight left from Szpilka, but came back to drop The Pin, not once but thrice, forcing a stoppage at 2:25 of the first round. Whereas Babic fought 11 months ago, against another Polish fighter, a Cruiserweight named Adam Balski, Babic like he always does, came out swinging for the fences, like Balski was a pinata filled with Ptasie Mleczko, and his dumb reckless ass almost paid for it dearly when a counter left hook to the temple from Balski dropped him 45 seconds into the first round. Then had him out on his feet with a right at the end of the 9th round. Balski again staggered him in the 10th. So with both men standing 6'1, with 74 inch reaches, with all but one of their matches ending in KO's, they couldn't be any more well matched. There's no way this isn't going to be a Big Drama Show in Rzeszow this Saturday. So which of these two utterly worthless oafs take it?"
