    I went back and watched the Burns match, and just how much he was tagged flush by Ricky, then I watched the Mikey-Juanma to see how Mikey deals with southpaws, and that was Juanma being less aggressive than usual, while Dejan I can guarantee has a better chin than Juanma, his aggression will work against him in a big way with Mikey tonight, if he gets tagged by Mikey as much as he got tagged by Ricky, the match won't go the distance.

    Maybe KO4 is a bit too soon, but if Dejan goes all out, its possible.

    Also, Redkach is a fellow southpaw, which contributed to how easily Dejan was able to handle him, so that match has little relevance in comparison.

    thats hard as ****, but garcia is proven get up from a beatdown and comeback with power. berchelt hasnt done that as far as i know. im going with berchelt i reckon he will get swamped, but atleast he seems to have a defence. lol and he could be a bigger finisher than miura. this month is too hard for me anyway.

    I think Berchelt will surprise a ton of people tonight...!!! He will frustrate Vargas, and if he can utilize his jab-right hand combo as a strong weapon and not just as a going-through-the-motion type of punch(es) he has a good chance of putting Vargas on the canvas...!!!

    Berchelt will win the fight but lose on the scorecards (Hence why I didn't pick him)...!!!

    Yeah I think Berchelt is the real deal, he's a better technical boxer than Salido and Miura, he's patient, defensively responsible, usually has a fairly tight high guard, a savage stiff jab, a hell of a combination puncher, his accuracy is immaculate at times, has the amateur pedigree, I think Vargas has taken a ton of punishment lately, and that Berchelt will play it safe with him for the first 3 or 4 rounds and gradually increase the pressure and activity leading to a late stoppage win for him, because like you said, he's a better finisher than Miura, who just goes all out, Berchelt is patient and sharp when he has his man hurt, similar to Usyk and GGG.

    @PinoyProdigy @kirk @CST80

    We have the People's Championship Belt, can we get a "steppingstone" belt for the lower ranked participants...???

    Maybe have the People's Championship be for only those in the Top 1-10 and the other belt for the other participants...!!!






    I'd love to fight for the 1st EVER Kirk's Intercontinental Championship Belt against some lower ranked punk (@CST80 )
