Santos Saúl Álvarez Barragán vs. Terence Allan Crawford & Christian M'billi vs. Lester Martínez RBR

War Canelo!

I can't believe I've been put in this position! But I knew it would happen some day.

 

Steven Nelson vs. Raiko Santana - Nelson will struggle mightily with him early on, but Santana will walk onto one too many counters, the damage will start to accumulate and eventually Nelson will put him down late and stop him.

Ivan Dychko vs. Jermaine Franklin - Dychko keeps him at range, boxes his ears off and stops him around the 7th. Maybe from facial damage, maybe a straight up knock out.

Callum Walsh vs. Fernando Vargas - I don't rate either of these guys very highly, I think Walsh is a chinny fraud and Vargas is an unskilled hack. They're both southpaws, which will put both of them in the danger zone of one another's power. But I think Walsh's superior skillset will see him through, and he'll get Vargas before Vargas can get him.

Serhii Bohachuk vs. Brandon Adams II - I think this will go much like the first match, which was Bohachuk dominating until he got caught late. But this time he won't be Covid ravaged, and will be aware of the risk that Adams poses. So he'll be a little more circumspect, maybe stay in close and smother Adams' output and outwork him like Katzourakis to a wide UD or late stoppage.

Christian Mbilli vs. Lester Martinez - Martinez seems like a real hardman, and while Mbilli's front foot game is quite diverse due to his volume and angles, Martinez's backfoot game equals if not surpasses his. But unlike Mbilli, Lester can win going forward and in reverse. Mbilli has been hurt several times before. Lester will hurt him and finish him. Might not go past 4. Lester brutally KO's him with... an uppercut.

Saul Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford - Crawford will win the first 2 or 3 rounds, Canelo will find his rhythm, chase after him like a madman, start whipping in his blistering left hooks to the body, which will slow down Bud, who will already be slower due to the additional muscle. Eventually Canelo will start pinning him to the ropes more and more, he'll hurt him, tee off, Bud will go down, make the count, but the ref will wave it off after Canelo continues the assault on a defenseless Bud. Canelo TKO9.

 

The ****ing audacity of that ****bird Turki bumping a war like Bohachuk- Adams II off the main card, to make room for that worthless going nowhere fast hack Alakel. Even Dychko vs. Franklin and Nelson vs. Santana deserve that spot more than he does.

 

A Dana White driven choice.
