**** 2023 Kirk's Championships Boxing Prediction League ****

**** it, I forgot this was in Chelli's hometown so.


I'm switching back to Chelli UD.

 

That's my main issue here tonight. I think Chelli's defense is as good as Sims, they're both low output, they both have solid whiskers, they're both risk averse. Which I think will play into Chelli's favor tonight, especially in his hometown. Because Chelli cn give the impression he's doing just enough o win and he is far more effective on the front foot than Roamer.

 

I don't know about that. I think he performed better than Casimero did, the loss to Casimero was a ridiculous robbery, Johnriel landed next to **** all. Whereas the Astrolabio win was a legit one, and while yes, I picked Space Lips to beat Potapov, he did it in far more impressive fashion than I was expecting. He has power, size and the pressure to trouble several in and around his division.

 

My fears were not unfounded. I thought Chelli being a vastly improved fighter, combined with Sims, clearly having a lot of beotch in him. That Chelli could pull this off. We both really liked and had high hopes for Sims when he showed up, and you liked Chelli before I did, but he eventually won me over. But maybe this sport isn't for Sims. The only dog he has in him is of the female variety.

 

The lack of fire, especially given what was on the line for him tonight and how he's complained of not getting breaks before, is worrying. Like I said, way too much sizzle and not enough steak. This is one of the reasons I can't respect the American school of slickness - because it's a style over substance fear based school.

 

Agree with every word of this.
