I have a feeling something like this happens. I'm the Pick'Em, I went with Haney by KO late. I could see him refusing to get off his stool after getting thoroughly outboxed.
This dude is becoming more and more like Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr....but worse....

Sure Merhy gets some blame for his incredibly passive, risk-averse style. The Belgian knew this was a big opportunity and decided it would benefit him most to go the distance and lose. Six months from now, people will forget how he accomplished that feat and only see the result.

Teo is fighting Steve Claggett next? I like the Canadian but this a bit of a step down for Teo. I guess Top Rank wanted to find someone who doesn't move as much as Jamaine Ortiz because everyone knows Teo doesn't know how to cut the ring.
Steve will stand there, throw his punches and be...

I was saying it in half-jest, I don't think this site utilizes a sarcasm font. I don't particularly care if he's 25 or 55, his legs look shot to pieces.
However, if I check Danny Almonte's amateur timeline, I can clearly see he was 12 during the 2001 Little League World Series because...Bronx2245 likes this.

Ortiz has the ability to drill you if you make a mistake but his legs are completely shot at this stage of his career (most likely his late 50s)....

The best I've seen of Fa was his performance against a very unimpressive Parker during the lockdown. Lucas Browne sparked him out and he's recently lost to the Cuban Flash.
Makhmudov should dispose of Junior without issues but I don't see the big Russian making any waves in the future...Eff Pandas likes this.

I think these things have to happen organically. That typically happens in sport when someone from whatever affiliation becomes good at it and generates fan appeal.
Women's MMA came into the spotlight with Gina Carani and Ronda Rousey. More female fans resulted.
You've seen...

DDD will have to be weary of Hrgovic's money punch....and by that I mean the rabbit punch to the back of the head....slimPickings Eff Pandas like this.

I've seen some heavy handed fighters (to include heavyweights) live and up close and I have never heard as concussive a sound as Beterbiev's punches landing on a human body....

I am completely understand mindset. I almost always favor the boxer over the puncher when all things are perceived about equal.
Thats what makes this matchup so interesting to me. My instinct to go with the "boxer" in Bivol is in conflict...

I thought Lewis/Grant was another one of these fights. Lewis blitzed him out early, Grant had his flaws but he was big, athletic had heart and hit hard.
I'm trying to think of recent instances where the better fighter blitzed someone to get them out of there before a dangerous opponent...

I rate Bivol very high as do many others. Leading up to the Canelo fight, there were a lot of people who felt Bivol was going to win. Same when he took on Zurdo. He has elite use of distance and timing in my opinion.
Someone can look at Beterbiev's...dannnnn Murray Kelm like this.

I have my reservations about Hrgovic but I think this matchup favors him, he will probably be able to use his length and keep DuBois at distance with his jab and occasional straight right....James LAchargers373 like this.

I like Zhang in this one. Wilder sounds like a fighter with one foot in retirement. Aside from the mental aspect, Zhang has a very good chin and is fundamentally sound. I expect him to avoid Wilder's big right and launch a well-timed left in response.
Zhang by stoppage....pun77 BoxOfficer like this.

I think very highly of both fighters. Very skilled at boxing in different ways, Beterbiev carries concussive power and Bivol has an excellent command of distance and timing.
Not sure who will win, I favor Beterbiev slightly but I do wonder if age will catch up at some point and I'm always...
