    Pick Ems for Saturday - Kuzmin OK?

    Ok gents, just been looking at the fights for Saturday and I'm thinking Haney vs Abdullaev, Roman vs Akhmadaliev and Hunter vs Kuzmin are all good, intriguing fights... Akhmadaliev and Kuzmin were both decorated amateurs and whilst Haney will be expected to cruise by Abdullaev that's predicated more on Haney's superb eye test credentials than on the dudes he's beaten so this can be seen as some sort of step up for Devin.

    Only issue I got is that Kuzmin got a big red flag next to his name on the Boxrec schedule - probably just referring to his suspension by the OINAC, but I just wanted to check no one has info pointing to the fight not going ahead before I put up the thread.



    I would personally like to include Serrano vs Hardy too - elite level ladies scrap that has the makings of a classic boxer vs puncher match up despite Hardy at 37 obviously being at the tail end of her pro career, but unless I see considerable support for it we'll pass I think; 3 is probably enough.

      If the odds are close, sure. I don't really know anything about these guys and gals but I don't mind rewarding those who have been paying attention and have some insight on who to pick.

        Red flag shouldn't matter, Loma had one next to his name last week as well. Not keen on some of the boxrec changes in the last year

          Well, looks like I may have to rethink... breaking news is that Roman is out with a shoulder injury and looking at the odds Haney vs Abdullaev is too wide to justify inclusion of a non title fight between two guys who at this stage are basically prospects...

          Leaves Hunter vs Kuzmin which the bookies have fairly close (2:1ish in favour of hunter) and possibly the ladies fight... can't find odds but I'm expect Hardy to be a moderate underdog.

              Kuzmin will lose, man. He had a drawish fight with Dawejko so I can't imagine many will pick him to beat Hunter.

                I fully agree with this.

                  Mmmm. I don't really mind including it but I'm seeing it much the same way as the bookies - still, on paper at least Zaur is the best dude Devin's faced and we included a few other hot prospect step up fights with wide odds recently so why not.

                  And I'm getting the women's thing - I know there's a good number of posters just not interested, even though I personally think it's important we give the women's sport at least a little attention so we won't have this one unless there's a sudden surge of requests, but I think there's still room for the occasional women's super fight - something like Shields vs Braekhus, Taylor vs Breakhus or the Taylor - Persoon rematch.
