Shakur Stevenson, now with his healed hand and SNAC he will be KOing everyone. Just kidding.

Ofcourse Ortiz vs Madrimov, Ortiz always looking to punish and stop his opponents and Madrimov being Strong and elusive. This will gauge me to see if Canelo vs Crawford is event worth it. If Ortiz Stops Madrimov, Canelo vs Crawford is not too enticing.

DDD/Parker.

Just seems very evenly evenly matched but as always with heavies you never truly know until the start throwing (more so than any other divisions)

Bivol and Beterbiev is a quality match up but in terms of pure drama. They're both truly too good to have an absolute barnburner in a weird way.

Schofield-Shakur is going to steal the show. Shakur is trying to hide it but you can tell - just by the peevish, resentful tone he has toward Schofield - that he didn’t really want this fight and is worried bout it. I’m picking Schofield by a late TKO - I think he will wear down a mentally weak Shakur

There is only one fight on this card that doesn't interest me - the one not named in the article.

In order...

1. Beterbiev vs Bivol ... for obvious reasons...
2. Madrimov vs Ortiz... I like Madrimov in this...
3. Parker vs Dubois... maybe Zhang will prove me wrong...

Anytime a young fighter like Schofield is allowed or asks to take a fight like that, I am intrigued. I remember Oscar was reluctant at first though.

Schofield forced the fight and now I just want to see how it goes for him. Will it be for good reason or a money grab against the wishes of his backers like Jared anderson -Bakole.

As far as the thread topic:

Beterbiev-Bivol II still the top fight for me

No one is beating Shakur. Too slick, too elusive. For casuals, they call it “running”. Like how the ATG SRL “ran” in his second fight with Duran or in his fights past 147 weight. The guy sure did “run”.
