Playing it kinda safeish this week but the simple fact is I'm wildly uncertain on Chilemba vs Chudinov and Kelly vs Avanesyan... however in both cases I'm anticipating a little home cooking in the event of the local boys looking less than impressive.

Best of luck to ya man, I'm sooo tempted by the Chilemba pick but I ain't quite got the stones to go for it. Issacs one of my favourite dudes and amongst the great road warriors of this generation.
My worry is there's good chance that Chilemba gets screwed on the road here, but these Russian cards are kinda unpredictable - sometimes you get the most obscene robberies, then other times the away dude inexplicably gets his dues. Just can't tell.
Young Fedor (although not so young anymore) is underated himself though to my mind... his losses consist of a flagrant robbery against Sturm (amongst the worst I've seen) and a KO loss against Groves in a fight he was handily winning on the cards to my eye... dude just couldn't handle the pressure when the Saint went through the gears, but that's unlikely to be an issue against Isaac. Question is whether he got the tools to handle that tricky spoiling style and also whether the lower weight affects the Malawian veteran.
Generally the Draw picking strategy ain't a winner long term, but I can actually see a case for it here... in the event of the away fighter controlling the fight in either case there's a fair possibility of the judges nudging it to a draw to try to spare themselves and their commisions the embarrassment of a blatant robbery. Sad but true.
