I think luna-klimov is pretty good. I know Luna has got so e skills and packs a punch, and klima is good but lacks power. Pedraza had a fairly easy time, and I think Luna will too. Good fight doe.
Reminder that everbody needs to get fresh picks in for this fight: The rankings hold no picks after the fight was postponed.
Interesting. It doesn't really bother me, I pick with my head and cheer for the fighter I like regardless. If they are the same, well and good. If not, either I get a win here or the fighter I like wins, neither of which is too bad.
This fight is a nightmare for me as well, because I've been hyping the hell out of Brieidis on here for the last 2 or 3 years, and I genuinely believe in him, so if he loses it ends up making me look like an ass, and a bunch of jerkoffs will bump my threads and make it seem like Briedis was a hypejob and I'm an idiot with their typical Monday morning quarterbacking. But I happen to be a huge fan of Huck's and really want him to win here and I truly believe his style will be nightmarish for Mairis, and his chin is at least as sturdy as Abdoul's so I think it'll go the distance and Huch will eke it out. So I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place, of being a fanboy and rooting for the guy I really like or rooting for the guy I've been hyping and that I like quite a bit. I'll feel screwed either way.
Because I think Gonzalez will drag Gesta into a war and outwork him starting in the middle rounds, and wear down Mercito for a stoppage late in the fight, Gesta is warmed over garbage IMO, never been impressed with him in the least, the only thing he has going for him is his southpaw position and unfortunately for him, Gilberto is a switch hitter, so he won't even have that in this match.
