Potential upsets this week.... Something to consider, Valera has a really good chin actually, and he spoils incredibly well, Barrera does not have a good chin, and got dropped by Ward, Smith Jr., Slava and hurt by Parker and even Zoulikha a little. Valera landing a lucky punch shouldn't be out of the question. Gamboa may do something crazy and show up in shape and ready to fight, and who knows how much Sosa has left after than sustained savage beating from Loma, its not crazy to think Gamboa outboxes the rudimentary Sosa. Who the **** has Kuzmin fought that's even close to being remotely worth a ****? Who has he fought that can hurt him? Mansour hasn't all of a sudden shown sigs of being shot to hell or anything, he was outslugging Breazeale before the freak accident, and beat Kauffman fairly decisively in his backyard, Mansour can take this. Mchunu is far better than Bejenaru is in every department, but this is in Bejenaru's backyard, he is undefeated, Mchunu is not, robbery is certainly not out of the question, and as chinny as Thabiso is late, who says he doesn't get KO'd late.

This isn't in Bejenaru's backyard, he lives in Brooklyn, while the fight will take place in Connecticut.
That qualifies as his backyard, trust me. Its like a 2 hour drive, all the Bejenaru fans will be there.
Ustinov tko mchunu tko Barrera tko soda tko kovalev tko lubkovich tko papin ko Troyanovsky tko kuzmin ud
Another thing, Masternak was hurt pretty badly by Sillakh, arguably that match should have been a draw, Vlasov was dropped several times by Sillakh, both of those guys are a few levels above Papin, who hasn't impressed me in the least, a Sillakh KO or UD victory here, is not a stretch.
