    Let's try something different. Try your hand at predicting something that's nearly impossible to foresee.

    My prediction. Most likely Roman Gonzalez against Yafai.

    Hard mode anything outside of this.

    Less likely Helenius if he somehow upsets Kownacki (crazier things have happened at HW even in recent memory)

    Imagine Roman beating Yafai and then having the Estrada rematch and beating him too. That wouldn’t just be the comeback fighter of the year, but would be a story for holywood scriptwriters.

    jr MW division is wide open right now, so I think Lara might try for a one last run at a title.

    Postol takes Ramirez to slick school and then exacts revenge over JT to unify all the belts at 140

    Rougarou moves up to 147 and scores a dramatic come from behind KO of Crawford

    Jurgen Brahmer unifying the hideously barren wasteland that is the SMW division. Plant gets taken to slick school, BJS 2.0 finally meets a man who can outslick a slick gypsy after relieving Callum Smith of Juan Ryder's WBA strap, and Benavidez is forced to retire on a freak shoulder injury at the end of round 2.

    I predict Tyson Fury to fall into deep alcoholic depression after getting knocked out by Wilder, only to re-emerge at the end of the year, beat some Starbucks barista from Norway, and win the ESPN courage award

    MARK MY WORDS!!!!

    If Brahmer who is slicker than an eel on an oil spill unified the SMW division it would be absolutely epic lol

    Guy can punch. I would not be remotely surprised to see him with a strap again by the end of the year.

    Mikey Garcia. Besides pistal and myself, everyone talks like he's finished. He's getting a belt this year.

    Doubt he gets the opportunities though. Will be a good 2-3 years in a perfect world.
