Hyland has that I eat a lot of leather look. I hope he's one of those hard headed Irish I hear about. He's my pick regardless. Long lay off, hand problems, TBAs, Russell has a lot of things not going for him.

Pedraza has the eye of the tiger, Smith is in trouble.

I'm thinking similar. Plus Russell couldn't seem to look at Hyland at the stare down. This will be different for Russell than all the TBAs he's had IMO.

Mooooonnnnn hyland.....
Will be some upset if he pulls it off.
He's got some balls, but at the same time, Russel is a level (maybe 2) above.
Hyland us really a European level fighter,
Fck it though,its a pay day and might turn out to be a good one if he beats him.

You noticed what I noticed, intimidation is a part of the game.
