    Mr Excellency is making the good matches happen. For years we missed out on good fights but it seems it was just a matter of needing someone with crazy money to foot the bill.

    Wilder KO's Zhang - But this is not a confident pick, this fight could go either way.
    Hrgovic KO's Dubois - Dubois once again loses when he steps up and is stopped in the middle rounds.
    Sheeraz TKO's Williams - Sheeraz stops him late in what could be a competitive fight, as Williams looks decent, big step up for both fighters. I think Williams low lead hand will cost him against the heavy jab of Sheeraz who softens him up with the jab before stopping him.
    Richards KO's Hutchinson - Richards comes from behind to KO's the chinny Hutchinson, exposing his lack of durability or any defence.
    Ball PTS Ford - Ball was robbed vs Vargas but this time he walks Ford down to take the title. Should be a good scrap this, both offensively minded, could be another close one.

    I agree but mine is a gut feeling, you usually have more behind it than that. Care to share your train of thought?

    Some of it is a gut feeling as well, while sure Hrgovic seems to have a good chin, still Zhang had him out on his feet countless times. Lucky for him, Zhang was too gassed to capitalize. Eric Molina also rocked him a couple of times. So I think his chin might be a bit overrated. He's not even remotely hard to hard clean, and Dubois is coming in, while maybe delusional, because beating an obese 300 pounder is nothing to get too excited about, still... confidence goes a long way. So I have a feeling he'll quasi revert back to the old Dubois, at least early on, and let his hands go. But the difference is, if he hurts Filip, and he might, he can certainly capitalize on it with a barrage, like he did against Lerena and Miller. And... the ref will probably be British.:sisi1

    Ball KO? You think Fords a bit chinny?

    Worth noting all fighters have more incentive to go for a KO for their respective teams.

    The only reason I go against Dubois is he doesn't have the experience. Wilder looks shook and could retire.

    Don't know the rest well so just went with Ball and Sheeraz and whoever the other favourite is out of Hutchinson Richards.

    I have a bet on Bivol for KO too but unrelated to this.

    No, he took Kholmatov's shots to the head fairly well, but he didn't like many of Vazquez's body shots. Several prompted him to hold to the point of a warning from the ref. Which should be of concern, since Vazquez is a featherfist. So it wouldn't shock me in the least if Ball stopped him with body shots. If not that, he fights a hell of a lot like Vazquez, who got robbed blind with that SD loss, and that was a 10 rounder, not a 12. So he'll probably outwork him.

    Good analysis.

    Feel like Ford is more resilient now seeing him take Kholmatovs shots.

    Hard to say whether Ball will stop him or decision him, I reckon he will hurt Ford and be hurt too, but I think he’ll win on points..that’s if the Vasquez judges aren’t there …

    Wilder by KO
    If Wider lets his hands go then he KOs Zhang, if however he fights as he did against Parker then Big Bang prevails.

    Dubois by KO

    Sheeraz by TKO/KO

    Ford by SD

    Richards by KO

    23% for Ammo, wow. That does surprise me.

    Do Americans not rate him at all then?
