OK Gentlemen, two big fights and arguably two big mismatches. Khan remains a big enough name to justify the inclusion of that one, and besides, whilst I personally don't give Amir any significant shot, the argument can be made that Khan is as good a name as any on Bud's resume and he certainly brings a look we ain't really seen with Bud before. Last time we saw him against a guy with real fast hands was vs Gamboa and Yuriorkis certainly had moments.

The bookies have Danny a wide, wide favourite vs Granados and I suppose there's justification, but it's worth remembering Adrians losses have mainly come in hard fought battles that have ended in split decisions and that more than one of Danny's wins ain't as clear cut as they might look on paper... not saying Granados should be favoured here, but I personally think the bookies got it too wide here by a margin.
