    Plenty of potential shockers and you may think each of the favorites will come thru but you are going to look back in hindsight and think 'sht he was there for the taking and I wish I put my mouth where my instincts were at the time'. Here is your chance.

    Takei over Moloney: kickboxer turned late boxer puts that firepower to winning use
    Nery over Inoue: hard hitting Mexican w/a chip on his shoulder clears his name in Japan
    Munguia over Alvarez: young stud outpaces aging dog who lacks the sense of urgency to bite
    Usyk over Fury: small Ukrainian puts that big boy into his dossier everyone keeps talking about
    Breidis over Opt out (dunno how to spell): former CW king shows he's still got that dog in him
    Kambosos over Lomachenko: superb chance for Lomtards to show off latest AI generated excuses
    Beterbiev over Bivol: punchers chance is more than a chance for LHW supremacy, might even win on PTS
    Paul over Tyson: old reputation & TikTok videos won't stop a 60yo getting timed by a limited but hard hitting fighter

    Beterbiev vs Bivol is 50/50 on my bookie.

    But my money is on Moloney taking the L.

    Beterbiev beating Bivol wouldn’t be an upset

    Also Jake should knock out a 60 year old.

    I would hope a 27 year old on every steroid known to God would be able to defeat a former great at social security age, not an upset

    He's favored to do so. No upset there if he does.

    Beterbiev and Usyk certainly are not upsets.

    You've not listed it but - Madrimov has a chance against Crawford

    Munguia is going to be a tough fight for sure.

    Canelo/Munguia will be a bigger version of Pitbull vs Tank.

    Actually, it'll be a bigger version of Tank vs. LSC with a similar outcome.

    Usyk beating Fury and Beterbiev beating Bivol will not be upsets.

    To answer your question...

    Madrimov beating Crawford, Martin beating Tank and Gvozdyk beating Benavidez.
