    Yeah it's not a smart comeback fight for Dubois lol not sure what they were thinking. If he doesn't bomb Miller out early, his heart will get tested yet again.

    Correct. It was a Triller show about 2 years ago.

    In terms of favorite, Wilder is definitely the one against Parker, but i think Parker is live dog in that fight, so i pick this option.
    It's fun with all this votes for AJ. I'm curious though will people give him credits after he prove them wrong once again though ?

    Aside from my pick i think this will be the winners:
    AJ
    Wilder
    Sanchez
    Makhmudov
    Hrgovic
    Bivol
    Opetaia


    Miller prolly beats Dubois now, cause Dubois at this young age 100% needed a rebuild plan and 2-3 confidence fights. Warren my very well cash him out.
    But Miller is a f**** disgusting drug cheat, that all he had is his big mouth, and big body thanks to all the PED abuse. He got a chin on him, and if Dubois put his **** together he can win that fight.

    I'm picking Dubois, simply cause i can't pick a s***** proven cheat like Miller.

    I'd make Miller slight favourite V Dubois. Credit to Daniel for taking it.

    Wallin edging Joshua on points feels like a distinct possibility.

    Can't see Parker beating Wilder. Joyce stopped him in brutal fashion, Wilder will finish him

    Makhmudov's head movement too good for Kabayel...

    This all day long. I manage Big Daddy and was in his corner on the night. He wore some bombs that would usually get Lucas the win. He marched through them. I'd let Browne fight Dubois tomorrow. I'm shocked that Miller is such a heavy underdog with the bookmakers.

    You should see if you can get Big Daddy a fight with Huni, that's a winnable fight for him. I like Huni, but his lack of power is shocking, and his porous defense is going to blow up in his face against a big puncher. Lucas could have another Fa like moment against him.

    As far as the odds, I think when people come to their senses, they'll definitely tighten up.

    I can see Parker beating Wilder. Most forget that his old style was very aggressive so he can take the fight to Wilder. As always, Wilder only has that right hand - which is enough against most of the division but Parker is better than most. I can even see him stopping the Dosser. That would be a funny predicament - Fury's no. 1 cheerleader also beating Fury's best win of the last eight years, further thinning Fury's already paper-thin resume—things you love to see.

    Never rated Miller but Dubois is bang average too, so maybe even the current morbidly obese version of Miller we saw vs Browne might have a chance, probably not, but I guess off all the fights on this card this would be the least surprising upset.

    Dubois is indeed one of the top 5 hardest punchers in the division and he's capable of knocking out anyone if he catches them right or with the right sequence of shots.

    However, Usyk, whose power is underrated by many to be fair, dropped and stopped Dubois with a jab so theoretically a 315-340lb walking PED factory like Miller should also be able to stop him, especially given Miller has displayed a very sturdy set of whiskers throughout his career, which includes getting kicked in the head by extremely powerful HW kickboxers

    Parker can beat Wilder if he starts well. Wilder the favourite obviously but there is some intrigue there for sure.

    As I already said, Wallin could win a hard-fought SD

    Miller could force Dubois to quit, but I still think Dubois is the better fighter

    Parker will probably dominate through the rounds and could win if Wilder doesn't catch him and knock him out in the meantime

    I expect Hrgovic to knock out De Mori in the first round because everything else is unacceptable

    Makhmudov will crush Kabayel and stop him in the early rounds.

    Bivol will technically outbox Arthur with ease and get an easy victory by UD

    Opetaia will knock out Zorro in the early rounds because Zorro has neither the skill nor the power to stand up to Opetaia.

    Sanchez will outbox Fa and win more rounds.
