    An upset or Ruiz jr on the cards... that's the question and it's 50/50 for me.

    How can anyone know what the snickers kid has left? I do know boxing won't give Knyba the decision even if he earns it.

    Here are my guesses for how the fights are going to turn out on the card:

    Kynba by decision (I believe Kynba gets the home support, so hopefully that quells some bogus judging)
    Williams by decision
    Chaves by KO/TKO

    Looking forward to seeing where the level of Knyba’s really at going into the rounds with Ruiz, catching a Former World Champ who’s later into his career with his heart barely in the sport anymore is the best time he’ll ever get to show the world how good he is, or isn’t

    War Hunchneck Knyba, War Piggy Ruiz !

    I'm leaning this way on Knyba, but still fearing a robbery. Although Vito might be catching Ammo at the right time. The Adames fight wasn't that long ago, and Vito performed very well against the last southpaw he faced.

    Really hoping for a Knyba win after what E-Hearn said about Hrgovic and the big plans E-Hearn has for Fat Andy. I want to see them fail and E-Hearn with eggy weggy on his face

    Pretty stoked for this card tonite! Fat Andy is in for a tough one, and the co main is a true pick em fight.

    Williams can 1000% lose. I mean, he was given hell by Steve Rolls, and he's often offensively predictable. The only thing that makes him slightly tricky is being a southpaw, so maybe you are onto something.

    The thing is, though, Williams has been in with significantly better competition than Mielnicki, he definitely has heart, and he can punch, though I don't think he can finish anyone above a certain level. I'm not high on either fighter, but it's a well-matched fight. Should be fun.

    Andy might have to rely on shenanigans from officials tonight either in the ring or on the cards

    Maybe both

    I have the same concerns as you, I'm thoroughly underwhelmed by both of them and have no faith in either.:lol:

    As much as I'd like to see some scripts being cancelled, I think Ruiz has some good match-ups in him in the future.

    Surprised how many people are picking Knyba for the main event. When Kabayel fought Knyba everyone said it was a cherry pick, and other than a decent first round Knyba didn't really do that much. I predict a Ruiz stoppage.
