    50-50 Fights: Stevenson vs Jack, Russell vs Diaz & Selby vs Warrington - Who you got?

    Great weekend of World Title fights coming up.

    What i really like about all three of these fights is that they're 50-50 fights to me and no clear favourite in any of them.

    That's Boxing at its best when you don't know who will win.

    My Picks for this weekend:

    Adonis Stevenson v Badou Jack : WBC World Light Heavyweight Title
    I've got Stevenson in this by KO, one of the most under-rated boxers today and that left hook will knock out Jack by the 6th round.

    Gary Russell Jr vs Joseph Diaz - WBC World Featherweight Title
    This really is a coin flip, i would have gone for Russell jr but due to his recent inactivity i think Diaz will win a very close decision victory.

    Lee Selby vs Josh Warrington - IBF World Featherweight Title
    I think the Elland Road Crowd will give Warrington the edge in a very close Decision win.

    Who have you guys got in all three fights?

    Had forgotten Selby-Worthington was this Saturday. What time is that main event supposed to be on and what network?

    I think Selby, Jack and Russell. I think a Russell loss would be the most surprising though but am rooting for Diaz being a local guy.

            Should start around 10pm or more likely 10.30pm in UK so thats 5pm ET in America.

              They are good fights but I don't think they are 50-50 fights. I think Stevenson KOs Jack and Russell KOs Diaz.

                Certainly they ain't 50/50 by the bookies - though that doesn't necessarily mean much. Stevenson - Jack is fairly close (and IMO the toughest to call) with Stevenson a slight favourite, but Selby and Russell are both pretty wide (both 1/4ish) and unsurprisingly so.

                  Think Stevenson wins, but rooting on Jack big time.

                  Think Russell wins, but curious about JoJo & think he might have a lil extra something to make this a competitive fight that he might just eek out or show himself to be a much higher level guy then he's shown himself to be thus far.

                  No clue about the Selby & Warrington fight. Don't know about Warrington or seen him fight much to have much of an opinion.

                    Prolly Stevenson and Russell. Rooting for Warrington, Selby's been holding that belt hostage.
