the madison/drama show, usyk, decision, close
the madson/drama show, munguia, KO, mid

big fan of both fighters but i think usyk is a more rounded fighter than gassiev. I think he'll get hurt/dropped at some point but do enough to scrape a close but deserved decision on the cards. Obviously its in russia so he could get jobbed but cant make predictions on here based on bias/judge corruption etc or gets ridiculous

smith isnt a bum but hes a fighter who shouldnt be good enough to beat a top fighter. Munguias not there yet but if he can stop ali he can also stop smith. Torn between early and mid stoppage but ultimately smith managed to go a few rounds with canelo, so i will go for mid.
