Best fights scheduled for the rest of the year?

Taylor Prograis & Beterbiev V Nail by far.

[VonTrier]

Nah the only think interesting about that fight is Canelo going to 175. Kovalev is washed. Just cuz he is winning dont mean hes not washed like some keep thinking. Its a 80/20 Canelo fight & likely the only way the 20 comes into being is if Canelo does not take to the extra weight at all.

And yea that is likely to be a fun young cats on the way up fight.

Canelo is 5'8 and his only wins at 168 are against no hopers. To think he has it in the bag versus a career LHW with one of the best jabs in the sport is pretty naive. I would definitely take those bettings odds for Kovalev.

Of course, Canelo can't lose on the cards, and Kovalev is pretty brittle now. Can't throw the big straight anymore. But his amateur style makes him even more reliant on his jab. If Canelo can't slip that, he can't get to his body. Would be a really tough fight for him.

Definitely a bigger challenge than Gvoz should have in keeping Beterbiev on the end of his jab. If he's all he's cracked up to be. There is little nuance to Beterbiev's offense. He mostly relies on guys letting him in and standing with him in the pocket.

Idk if its in the bag. I do think its a 80/20 Canelo fight which is about a -400 fav which I think matches the odds.

I would definitely take those bettings odds for Kovalev.

Yea Id agree with you there if you think its 50/50 there is MASSIVE value on Kovalev.

I thought Yarde was 50/50 with Kovalev so there was good value on him in that fight & the fact he almost had Kov out in the 8th makes me believe my take was on the mark. I still standby Yarde having been able to win if hed made more effort to go to the body early & when he had Kov hurt.

I think this is a more even fight going in doe. And Beterbiev can change the fight with one shot unlike few in the game. I see The Nail winning til he isnt & the fight is over. The Nail making a mistake could end the night if hes winning 1-0 or 11-0. This is like a Wilder fight in that way although I wouldnt consider AB as unskilled as I see Wilder although his shot isnt as god-like either so it all evens out.

Gvozdyk vs Beterbiev looks like the best fight of the bunch.

Co-sign this.

I don't know tbh. I do know Tenshin called Takeru out and Takeru responded earlier today. It would seem that fight is becoming more inevitable.
