[PICK EM CREW]

Okay gentlemen we got a pair of paper mismatches which both potentially have a deal more interest to them that the bookies would have us think. Kownacki has the look of a decent contender in the HW division but he's kinda worked his way up without fighting anyone of much significance - that's not to say Cristobel is likely to be a huge threat, but he's shared a ring with some of the best and is arguably as good as anyone else Kownacki has faced to date.

And Jean Pascal remains one of the toughest dudes in the game... waaay past his best offensively but still tricky and likely to launch unorthodox counter attacks when cornered - this is far from the walkthrough the odds suggest, especially if Brownes ongoing personal issues are beginning to take a toll. Jean is known for always giving his opponent a tough challenge, even in a loss, and I don't expect Saturdays outing will prove any different, whichever way it goes.

NOTE: Since I'm gonna be away and likely incommunicado (hanging with the hippies) for the next week or two Ima put up a Pick Em thread for Ortiz vs Orozco too. I would ask for your forbearance regarding getting the updates done over the next few weeks, but I guess you're all kinda used to my chaotic approach by now so it's a bit redundant.
