Thank you for the quick sticky mods! Bit late getting this week's pick 'em together.

OK. On paper we got two kinda mismatches - for all his amateur brilliance Aloyan has looked very, very shaky as a pro, but he certainly has the skills to take this if he can bring 'em together on the night. A baptism of fire for Mikhail then, cos Tete is vastly more proven than Aloyans previous opposition and has a wealth of experience to draw upon.

Benavidez... well he is unbeaten and he is big at the weight. Beyond that though? Well the bookies have it as wide as they do for a reason. Hard not to see Bud chopping that tree down with clinical efficiency. Who knows though...? If any of you fancy the upset, any picks on Benavidez will be multiplied by 3 if he wins.
