    Yes, I may well switch my Barrera pick ... still thinking over it.

    Really? Granted I don't rate Browne too highly, but Monaghan is a good notch below Williams Jr. and Kalajdzic(yeah, obviously Browne got a gift but still) Monaghan is also 35 and Browne is better than ANYONE he's been in with. That one is pretty cut and dry for me. Browne TKO inside 5.

    I also think Browne will win fairly easy, I don't rate Monaghan.

    They're buddies and have been sparring partners for awhile, if anyone knows Browne its Seanie, has Monaghan ever been down or badly hurt? No, at least I can't recall seeing it, does he have immense power? No, but does Kaladzjic? And he hurt him. Let's not forget Williams was beaten by Campillo legitimately, Savigne, Rodriguez and White almost had him out of there, and he was coming off of being KTFO by Stevenson and it still took Browne 6 rounds to stop him.

    Browne supposedly struggled with White and couldn't stop him, he struggled with Sierra and was given a gift stoppage on cuts and he should have lost to Hot Rod, what evidence do we have that Sir Marcus is legit in any way other than being a bad style clash for Williams?

    Good points... And like I said, I don't really rate him... It's just given Monaghan's age and poor resume that Browne should be able to cone through here. But now that you mention these things an upset certainly wouldn't be a massive shocker, that said it's just probably not all that likely.

    I was one who expected Bhop to take Jr to high school but we had Jr tossing Bhop out the ring like a molded infested jock strap for the KTFO highlight of the year

    @CST80 Something that we can't completely rule out for Eubank/Abraham either. A controversial British stoppage in Eubanks favor.

    7/15

    A lot of these fights are probably going to be lackluster affairs that stink out of the house unfortunately

    Which ones are you thinking of?

    I'm most excited about Smith Jr vs Barrera, think it will end in a KO personally.
