    I think Sponge can produce upset. They are not so far away in terms of skill. Yoka lacks power but can box and work on backfoot. I favour Sponge.

    @houmzz I told you Alfonso sucked and wouldn't accomplish anything as a pro. He got exposed last weekend.

    Spong should take take it to him early. Yoka is a slow starter and a bit chinny.

    July is turning into a pretty damn spectacular month for HW boxing- best of 2019 by far. Ironically without any of the champions fighting.

    Pathetic opponent for Hunter tonight. Could they not find another decent journeyman, like Hrgovic's opponent Corbin?

    Maldonado is a decent journeyman. He went the distance with Rivas and Teslenko in bouts that were both 10 rounder's.

    Hunter's opponent must have the same conditioning coach as Norrad. Maybe they are the same dude. On the flight for DC as I type.

    Maldonado is a real fighter unlike Norrad. Say what you want about the guy but they are not cut from the same cloth.

    TBH Corbin is awful. He's slower than today's 70 y.o. George Foreman. And has zero skills. Charles Martin won every round against him. Hrgovic stops Corbin

    He's always looked like that. The guy is better conditioned than he looks. a poorly conditioned fighter wouldn't be able to survive 3 MMA rounds in a war with Fedor(albeit a badly faded but still dangerous version) and 10 rounds with both Rivas and Teslenko. He's a journeyman vet in both sports he's competed at. I've followed him extensively and can tell you that he's a good tough pro.

    I don't doubt your knowledge of him. I just never understand what use layers of fat are on a boxer, or mma guy.

    Pero won his pro debut by first round stoppage.
