Let's see if Tommy Gun can get a clear win this time around...probably not

I have friends in Tommy's camp and the talk was he was moving up to Light Heavyweight as he struggled to make the weight for Super Middle in his last couple of fights - I was hoping he would face Ward before moving up but maybe it was time. Come on Tommy I've been a fan for a long time good luck in your new venture and win World Title and carry the flag for South Africa.

Being that tall trying to make 168 had worn out it's welcome, now it's really his best chance to show that claim was why he had hiccups not bcse he's a plateau'd level fighter.

Alvarez is fairly similar to Quillen, this could turn out to be a decent match-up.

That is correct Super Middle was fine when he started and had potential to go all the way, now that he has filled out and struggled to make the weight and his performances where below par - at Light Heavy he is showing the potential again but he will eventually move up to Cruiser as well as he has a big frame.

Easy Fight

Alvarez should crush the South African. Oosthuiezen has faded dramatically from his glory days as a hitter. Time for him to go. There are many reasons why they won't bring him in for the top fighters here. Going to Lt Heavy will get him killed. There will be a couple of good fights at LH but his time is over.

I tend to differ Tommy has underperformed due to keeping his weight down and will now be back to his best - nobody has crushed him before, but time will answer that, he wins this fight your first prediction will be wrong but lets see.
