But fireworks are widely expected this weekend, and Provodnikov is predicting a "fight of the year" contender - a bold claim with the Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao 'fight of the century' just a fortnight away.

I scored all those fights and Bradley won by a point, Algieri by two and the Herrera fight could have went either way.
