    If Benavidez vs Opetaia actually happens, BOTH fighters need a lot of praise for it happening.

    What a crazy fight in an era where these young guys in their primes avoid each other.

    KingRy v Eggs Bennedict

    I know Eubank Jr is no world great, but I wouldn't have favoured Garcia at 154 or 160.

    Feel like this will be a bit closer than folks are making out - but then Garcia blows hot & cold.

    For sure, opetai hits hard for sure but isn't the thunderous puncher that some of his over matched defenses made it seem

    My wife is passed out next to me. The excess commercials did her in. The cat is asleep on her butt.

    Hey, Aries are great at pulling upsets, and guess what Cieslak is?:sisi1 Cieslak is a beast. There's no guarantee he even makes it to Jai.

    It's crazy how low in weight Benavidez was able to go below his natural weight class more like!

    Heard some saying Conor is slow which I don't think is true at all. He put his shots together very fast at 147. Ryan has ridiculous speed but Conor's speed and power is being underrated by many and I can't stand him

    Both are difficult to root for, they're like polar opposites in how grating they are. I tend to remain neutral in fights because a personality isn't going to stop me appreciating their skill in the ring but a double KO would be amusing. The winner will be exhausting to put up with, the loser will be devastated.
