    Based on all things seems right to me but hunch wise, I'm taking Bakole.

    Voted for Bakole, I know he lost to Hunter few years back but since then Hunter has struggled to get fights and Bakole has done very well.

    Good pick. Yoka was on a pretty good run and Bakole went and derailed him in his own house. I like the guy and hope he is around to get in on a piece of the title when some of these retreads finally call it a day or lose the support of the promotors who push them down our throats.

    Ruiz. Still has at least arguably the best win in the division and won a bout against a top 10 opponent this year.

    I wanted to put money on Martin when he fought Yoka but I just couldn't do it (finances and all). I would have laid it out for him to stop Yoka. When the fight started, I was sick to my stomach but somehow Yoka made it to the end, so I saved my dough :risas3:.

    Certainly based on achievements it would be Andy Ruiz but I voted for other. I'm going with Daniel Dubois. He's young with a great punch and has some decent wins. I also like that in his only loss (to Joe Joyce) he was winning the fight in the tenth round when he suffered a fractured eye socket.

    Forgot about Dubois. To me he is in that "WBA regular" black hole pocket universe.

    You aren't joking! I just hope he has a better chance of escaping oblivion than Trevor Bryan.

    I voted Ruiz. He's got the fastest hands and may be the best counter puncher in the division, and I was surprised Ortiz got up after a couple of the shots he gave him.

    If he would get his weight under control he could upset just about anyone on a given night.

    I voted other, it’s clearly Robert Helenius judging by the reaction on here over the last couple of days.
