    That's definitely a valid reason - my point is that I think the bookies may have it wrong... real, real hard to tell though. Hot Rod ain't fought anyone worth a damn since Browne 3 years ago, but then Artur ain't really done much either - cept he's 34 whilst Kalajdzic is just entering his physical prime. We've seen Beterbiev legit hurt by a guy I consider inferior to Kalajdzic in Johnson and we seen Hot Rod in with a vicious aggressor in Browne. Ah - I'm sure you know the score though...

    And man, I wish I could bring more fights that the bookies consider fairly even matches, but it's a sad commentary on the state of our sport that for the bigger names those kinda fights are few and far between. If it were just about what I think would make for the best Pick Em fights I'd be looking further down the food chain, but mainly I think folk want to see the bigger names even if it's in mismatches.

      Hot Rod beats Beterbiev if Beterbiev doesn't tighten up his Defense and if Hot Rod can avoid taking too much of Beterbiev Power

            Okay - just gonna bump this baby a coupla more times then call it a wrap. I think it'll be a good fight but right now it's not really looking like there's enough interest to make it a PICK EM.

              I think so. Beterbiev/Hot Rod is a good fight IMO.
