pick some upsets my guys

[WestEndRiot]

In the upcoming fights below I would imagine one or more upsets. I definitely don't think all of these guys should be favourites but they're all in the fight (or just more than the odds are giving them credit for) in my opinion.

Usyk is a slight underdog against Fury but I predict him to win.

Sirwan is a live underdog against an old and inactive Kovalev but odds will likely be wide.

Parker is a live underdog against Zhang but odds might be too wide in a close fight on paper (2/1)

Briedis is a live underdog against Opetaia but odds are wide for a competitive fight (3/1)

Liam Williams is a 3/1 underdog against Hamzah Sheeraz but it could look like a promising star too soon against a veteran.

Jamine Ortiz is 5/1 underdog against Teofimo Lopez. If Lopez' head is still all over the place and he puts in a performance like the one against Martin then Ortiz could take it.

Ryder is 2/1 against Munguía. I wouldn't count him out.

Azeez is 3/1 underdog against Buatsi but Aziz has looked better than Buatsi if late.

I like Azeez and Usyk.

Williams is your classic prospect vs veteran. He'll make it mildly competitive for a couple of rounds, id be very surprised if he has much more to give than that.

Surprised at Ryders odds. I'm a fan, but if I was having a bet id want at least 4/1 on him

anyone see kovalev-safar odds yet? man i am eager for those, gonna hit it if kov is wide like i expect him to be. safar totally unknown but looks decent (quick hands, good jab) and the factors line up for an upset. kov is 41 soon, inactive for 2 years, known drinking problem, smaller, etc. even at 175 he could be a bit all over the place. gets flattened by E alvarez then virtually shuts him out the next.

aziz is a bit of a mystery to me. to my eye he's not remotely impressive but he keeps getting the results. clearly a very hard worker who seems to be getting the most of himself. buatsi on the other hand i thought was a boarderline special talent at first, but has kinda flattened out.

id stitll pick buatsi but cant say at this point the upset would be a shock
