    Shouldn't me and drenlou be the softest of the bunch. Being Pisces. Or am I getting this wrong. Because I'm a bad ass and he's no pushover

    Hurd will win. Not a prediction!

    I lean towards Hurd as well but Harrison is a competent fighter who's showed he can lay back and frustrate guys before stepping it up, in his last fight against decent opposition.

    Nelson, to beat Harrison, had to really shell up and take some good shots before coming on strong late. He didn't blow him out or anything.

    The easiest way to make money is to find the 50/50 matchups and bet on the under dog.

    I used to have a huge life changing gambling problem though and can only bet £25 a week now so no matter how well I do it'll never amount to much again.

    If you get the guy in your profile pick to give you a hand, I'm sure you'll do just fine!

    If anyone backing Williams jr., Granados, or Avenysian would like to have a friendly bet I'm open for $10-$60.

    Since Browne vs Williams jr. is on the Broner Granados undercard, any chance the challenge be changed to the earlier fight? Just curious.

    I'll do a $20 dollar bet on Williams Jr over Browne if you'd like.

    Officially Hurd, but more and more I'm leaning Harrison. Hurd has beaten Molina, Galarza and 6 rounds to stop tiny WW Jo Jo Dan, big deal, the guy clearly isn't a huge puncher, he's more of a volume guy, and Harrison is a counter puncher, how effective will Hurd be at getting on the inside to let his shots go, Harrison hits hard enough to keep him at bay, it could go either way, both are flawed and neither has shown me a reason to favor one over the other as of yet.

    Moparfan Trivia:

    I am a former Olympic boxer. 2 of my first 4 losses were by Split Decision in [Major] Championship Fights. Both Split Decision losses, I had one of the three judges award me all 12 rounds (one fight my opponent and I had a 10-10 round).

    I started my professional career, undefeated in 21 fights. My last 12 fights I went 6 wins and 6 losses.

    3 hints available; 1st after 3 incorrect picks...!!!
