    Im surprised by this I figured it would be very even.

      Maybe it'll be like last year and we'll just get upsets galore. Only one I could see one is Perez over Broner. He has the tools to beat him, but I think Broner gets through some tough moments and wins it.

          Out of these fights, Salido probably has the best chance of pulling the upset. I wouldn't say I expect it though. I don't think Maidana will win. Kessler is somewhat overrated and I expect him to be upset at some point, but I don't think this is the spot.

            OK, there are some pretty good fights going down across the world in the next few weeks, does anybody see any upsets in any of the following:

            Broner-Perez
            Povetkin-Huck
            Juanma-Salido II
            Burns-Moses
            Martinez-Macklin
            Brook-Hatton
            Kessler-Stieglitz

            More interestingly (of course), who would you lay down money on to pull the upset? Currently have bets on Perez at 7/2, Maidana at 11/8 (yeah, he's not an underdog, but he's still got longer odds), Huck at 3/1 (bit iffy) and Stieglitz at a surprisingly good value 12-1 on points.

            Thoughts, opinions, queries, ephemera...
            Perez' in and out style is going to give problems to Broner; Broner just does not get himself out of counterpunching mode even when he has to.

            Salido should not be the underdog... Salido's either going to stop him again or give him a beating that can't be stolen.

            Maidana's a relentless, pressure fighter and Alexander's weakness is on the inside. Alexander hasn't improved his inside defense enough or stalling tactics to avoid the inside exchanges he looks lost in.

            Molina and Hopkins are live underdogs.

              The best underdog bets coming up are probably Peterson and Bradley. Peterson is actually something like +375 right now.
