I am expecting this to be a real burner of a fight. Would not be at all surprised if Nyika takes the belts.

If he's half expecting to spend the night in hospital, he's fully expecting to spend the night in hospital.

This Nyika's not ready.

Geez this ain’t a good sign, expecting to have food poisoning after a little Chinese he’s had before, man stands tall as a giraffe in his last few fights jai should be able to clock him early. Get through zurdo then move on to some real challenges at heavyweight

You think Jai going all the way to heavyweight ???
Can’t see it happening after what Breidis did to him at cruiser weight

I mean, who says that shit before a big fight? Nyika's already lost.

Before the fight, it is not a good expectation to have to end up in a hospital. If that is what he is thinking, that is where he is going.

Nyika is just stating facts. Two powerful warriors are going to war and damage will be done to both of them. If the dog comes out in both and this fight goes deep there's a good chance both will be paying the hospital a visit. Everything I've seen Nyika say is that he intends to knock Jai out and he seems full of confidence. I'm thinking it's a little too soon for Nyika in his career but he has a huge chance and at the odds the way they are I've backed him.

Nyika isn't wrong to think this and be mentally prepared for this. Both guys have heavy hands and I think both will be looking to spark the other out. Regardless however long it goes, I expect it be violent (and possibly one-sided).
