    There's only 3 potential mismatches I see on that card, Bivol-Artur, opetaia-Zorro, and Hrgovich-De mori. The rest of the fights are pretty good scraps.

    Parker vs Wilder, he is been active while Wilder is coming off a very long layoff & having Fury in his camp may help Parker get some insights into Wilder's weaknesses

    Probably Miller should be the favorite, but I wonder how good he is without PEDs?

    But yes, his aggression and work rate will likely take the heart out of Dubois after a few rounds, and he may quit again. Also his trash talk may get to the weak-minded Dubois.
    Yes, and Parker looked good in his last fight - he seems to have regained his confidence after his KO loss to Joyce. And Parker is still young, while Wilder may be slowing down at age 38, and will likely be rusty after fighting only one round in two years.

    If Miller is the underdog against Dubois, then that one.

    I don't see Dubois winning at all, unless Miller gets banned before the show again.

    His chin is still damned rock solid, he took like 150 clean bombs from Lucas Browne and seemed relatively unfazed. So I doubt Dubois' best shot will do very much to him. His gas tank seems unaffected as well. So Dubois is ****ed.

    Parker vs Wilder

    Miller vs Dubois? No one should be schocked when Dubois quit again here but I cross my finger to Daniel to knockout PEDS abuser.
    Think if Warren had a brain he ask for special Control for Jarrel and he will be clean as child

    I think there's only 1 real competitive fight on there and that's the main event, the card is loaded with names but not really exciting fights.

    Definitely Miller, Dubois is fragile and has quit before, plus he’s coming off a loss. I won’t be surprised if Miller retires him, even though he’s absolutely dreadful. There’s a strong possibility the fight never happens if any stringent PED testing is in place, Miller is addicted to the sauce.

    Speaking of Lucas Browne if they are looking for an Aussie for Hrgovic, Browne would give him a much better fight than ****ing Mark DeMori LOL

    Wallin is actually a hard guy to look good against so Joshua may have to step on the gas and take risks. Hope to see the best ever Wallin after his Gassiev win. Miller can beat Dubois. Dubois to me is the most overrated hw out there. Parker has minimal chance for me but if he can go deep who knows given Wilder is 38 and has had 1 round in two years.

    It's really frustrating that aj and wilder are fighting on the same card but not fighting eachother. They both deserve to lose for this and I hope they both do
