I’m definitely prone to picking, or at least trying to make a case for, obvious underdogs.

I’ll predict that Bivol will catch a nasty cold this week and end up dropping a split decision versus Arthur.

Not a massive upset, but I think Parker will stop an inactive, mentally fragile Wilder next weekend.

I think odds there are 10/1.

That is a pretty massive upset.

:TU: I don't think he will, but there's a decent chance of it - he has great power, reach and fundamentals.

Miller to beat Dubois.

Upset of the year in some people’s eyes.

Nice!
If I was more confident that Wallin would get a fair go from the judges, I'd have a wee flutter on that

Kabayel Decisions Big Mak. Not a lover of Agit, but he's the best; most durable; hardest hitter that Mak has faced. :OhYes:

Not as big as Arthur decisioning Bivol !

Arthur pts vs Bivol
Smith KO Bert
Parker KO Wilder

One more for a lucky 15 @ best prices - looking for £100k offa £15...!

Ok, going with this..

Kabayel pts vs Mag
Parker KO vs Bey
Arthur pts vs Bivol.

£1 patent @ best prices = c. £7k.

I can't pull the trigger on Mags' Smith pick - get what he's saying; Bert has to grow old @ sometime - but price isn't big enow for me.

For ages I was convinced Hrgovic was gonna come unstuck against a journeyman or gatekeeper. Looks less and less likely now he’s beat 4 unbeaten fighters on the bouncers.

Cal should beat Bert, I don’t know why but it seems more likely than not to me now.

Miller should be fave against Dubois I honestly think.

My biggest one might actually be Skye N to beat Serrano. Just keep it simple, keep moving, be fresher and lighter on your feet. Keep them check hooks comings and don’t get dragged in. Easier to do 10x2s like that and could coast to a PTS win.

Big baby to stop DD.

7/2 I was going to put a bet down, but I wanna be cheering on DDD to win this.

I've been having a think about BB vs DDD...

Big Baby isn't very good, as such, he's flat-footed, easy to hit, but yet, he's very hard to beat. He's huge, just chugs forward, relying on a granite chin (more from his size than anything) and just eventually runs people over.
Now who does that sound like...?

Big Baby is nowhere near the boxer that Joyce is but Joyce didn’t actually land many power shots on Dubois like you’d expect if you saw the result and Dubois face. He beat Dubois up on the jab and by the end of the second round where Dubois had two spells of landing combo power punches on Joyce I reckon Dubois in his head was thinking ‘sh1t. Everyone else has fallen over when I do that!’

I reckon Miller is gonna be more head down and willing to engage in close against Dubois in order to land his shots. Thus I expect a Miller win and can’t believe the bookies have him a 3/1 outsider.

I’m glad all the smart guys here seem to side with me. Let’s all win a few quid shall we, or at least lose together 😂

I’ll see if PP have power prices or scratch around for value now. I’m normally superstitious about telling people bets but I’ll be up front today

Miller by points, Parker by points and Joshua by KO gets me £3k so fingers crossed for those first two atleast.

I've also got Kabayel, Miller by points and Parker by KO in an accumulator at 42,000/1 odds so keep your fingers crossed for me :lol:

There aren't enough fights scheduled outside of this single event so not an upset to choose from really. Who's the favourite between Azeez and Buatsi?
