Which is the more likely upset on Saturday August 12?

Probably McKean beating Hrgovich TBH.

 

Hrgovic vs Mckean is the fight of the night, but I still make Hrgovic 80% favourite. Hrgovic will easily outbox him , but because Mckean is big and prime, hungry he may show the heart and balls needed to make it interesting.

90% favourite for AJ. Only because Helenius can punch, but usually for 5 rounds max. I expect Joshua to have him out of there by 3 rounds. Shot Helenius' defence and reactions are totally gone.

98% favourite for Chisora, because Washington cannot punch, and delboy still has that thick head. Chisora knocks him out round 5-6.

 

McKean can beat Hrgovic, the reason is that both of them are in excellent shape and in their best years, while in other fights everyone is finished except for Joshua, Chisora will beat Washington because Washington was never even good and Joshua destroys Helenius.

 

Washington has the best chance since chisora has one foot in the grave.
Mckean is too wide with his punches. Filip will nail him with straight rights for as long as it lasts.
Helenius has zero chance. In fact I bet he’ll take a dive.

 

Would not surprise me if Washington outworks Chisora in a horrible UD fight. Not sure either can fight at all now, but Chisora appears to me to be pretty damaged cognitively. Washington is old but has a lot less wear & tear.

 

Washington doesnt have much of a chance imo. Not got the boxing skills, stamina or concentration to keep chisora off him, and definitely cant stop delboy.

 

Best chance is probably an upset stomach with that line up.

 

Not while I have a hole in my arse.

 

Read the poll wrong, can't change ffs.

I can see Mckean KO'ing Hrgovic tbh.

 

Who knows what's going to happen. Honestly. This last week or so has been nuts.

For some reason, I'm more intrigued by Joshua-Helenius than I was Joshua-Whyte II.

Helenius does keep his chin up, which is bad. But he typically doesn't go out early. He went the distance with Chisora and Whyte. And Robert was kind of exhausted and hadn't gotten his second wind when Duhaupas and Washington stopped him. Wilder's the only one to stop him really early.

Joshua may go for the quick ko, but Joshua doesn't have the best endurance, either.

Helenius is tall with a good jab. It'll be interesting to see if Helenius can be effective with his jab against Joshua. Helenius found a lot of success with it against Kownacki. If it goes any rounds, the jab could start to put some doubt in Joshua's head.

Same with Chisora-Washington. Washington looked dead in the water last time out. Really no chin left at all. But Parker had a lot of success in his rematch with Chisora with the jab. And Washington can jab. Who really knows what Chisora has left. If anything.

By far, the two freshest guys are Hrgovic and McKean. But Joshua was ready to pick McKean when he opted instead to choose Jermain Franklin.

Honestly, I'd probably be the most surprised if Hrgovic lost. He's pretty good. McKean just seems like a guy, to me, at this point.

I don't expect any upsets. But, if anyone was upset, I'd say the most likely would be Chisora.

He has 13 losses - which is more than the other five heavyweights on the main card combined. Both Chisora and Washington have one win in their last four. Chisora is probably only favoried because he has a better chin. Neither has much left otherwise.

Between this card, and the Usyk-Dubois show, and the Jared Anderson/Jalolov doubelheader later that day, it seems like someone could get knocked off this month. (In addition to Whyte.)

Lots of heavy-handed dudes, who also have plenty of vulnerabilities of their own, swinging for the fences

Sounds good.

 

Have a bet on that if you believe that.

 

I will when the sportsbook comes out
