    Not advising anyone to bet on all of them, but they are the most likely to end in an upset. I'll also toss Nasukawa vs. Inoue in as well.

    I like Essumans chances

    Yarde could always catch Benavidez i guess but I think David holds many advantages

    I like Haney and Norman is sort of an unproven commodity but I just dont trust Haney's ability to stay out of danger for 12 rounds and survive the danger he eventually finds himself in

    Benn could beat Eubank in the rematch, Eubank is compromised at 160 with a rehydration clause

    But I'd be shocked if Yarde beat Benavidez. Benavidez is definitely hittable and beatable but I don't think Yarde is the man to do it

    He'll be in a fair fight for the first time, in the past he's always had advantages in size, referees and judges.

    Haney has had many rounds that judges scored for him that he should have lost, against smaller fighters. Now the weight bully will fight with (hopefully) neutral judges against a man close to his own size.

    I hope Norman knocks him out.

    Sam Noakes beating Abdullah Mason would be an upset on paper with the bookmakers. But it wouldn't be to me.

    I see that as at least a 50/50 fight and slightly favour Noakes.

    Noakes is very physically strong, very heavy handed, fit as a fiddle stamina wise, in his prime and hasn't shown any chin issues.

    Haney is one of the only fighters going after the smoke. He fought Loma and I had it a draw. He fought juiced up Ryan and it was a close fight even with the 3 KDs - which is astounding in hindsight. He fought Kambosos twice and Prograis and Linares and Ramirez.

    Haney is far from perfect but he's now stepping to Norman Jr...as the underdog.

    Haney is annoying but hes also ballsy AF. He tried fighting Tank too but obviously Tank dont fight no real opponents.

    Interesting about Yarde. Can I ask why you think he has a good chance?

    In my opinion, Yarde can really crack for this weight class, big strong Light Heavy. Benavidez is not hard to hit. 2+2 = 4 in this case. The maths adds up. Yarde will not have to go looking for Benavidez, he will be right there in front of him.

    The general expectations on paper i believe is a competitive start from Yarde With David eventually breaking him down or taking a points win. Should Yarde blast him away, it just wouldnt be a shock. Im shocked the odds are so heavily in Benavidezs favour.

    As i said Yardes a very dangerous puncher, a dangerous man to stand in front of and trade with, just ask Beterbiev and Kovalev.

    So many sleeping on Sam Noakes, im more than happy to pick Noakes in this fight and feel confident about it. That being said, Mason doing a job on Noakes wouldnt surprise me either, brilliant match up.

    Think there's two potential banana peels on the Canadian card for the home guys tomorrow... Butler against Fondjo and Pedro Manuel Gomez against Luis Santana.
