    My picks:

    Smith KO (9/2) - Odds seem value for a proven quality fighter like Smith. He wont feel overwhelmed by Buatsi like he did against Canelo and Beterbiev and I believe he's coming to win not just pick up the Saudi loot.

    Ortiz KO (7/2) - Madrimov was quality against Crawford but Ortiz seems to have the IQ to adapt to any style. 50/50 this one for me and a great fight.

    Adames Points (13/2) - Big step up for Sheeraz and I think the odds are are very good value for an Adames win. Curious to see how Sheeraz handles a good pressure fighter like Adames and I don't think his resume of Williams, Williams, Denny is that impressive. Lets see if he's the real deal or not.

    Kabayel Points (11/5) - Kabayel will be much busier in each round and take this on points. Zhangs gas tank will let him down here.

    Parker KO (7/1) - Dubois chin is suspect, heart suspect and only has one way to win which is to walk through Parker and blast him out. I think Parker can frustrate him and take him out late. Parker to win is 12/5 which IMO is great value.

    Beterbiev Points (11/4) - Bivol not looking or sounding confident IMO where as Beterbiev seems super relaxed, I think this will be a repeat of the first fight with Beterbiev taking a close decision.

    Genuinely don’t think any of those come in bar maybe a Beterbiev decision. Joseph Parker and Callum Smith are so overrated and Vergil Ortiz has done nothing to suggest he’s going to be knocking out Madrimov. Fully expect sheeraz to beat Adames aswell, who as far as world champions go is pretty limited.

    I think Parker has a good chance against Dubois, if anything it's Dubois who is being overrated IMO. I also expect Buatsi and Sheeraz to win however the odds appear to be slightly wide which is why they are worth covering (weighted in proportion to more probable bets). Adames will be a cash out if he's ahead on the cards mid way.

    In profit for the last 12 years, bet on multiple markets for each fight. What are your picks for Saturday mate?

    Not sure about Ortiz Madrimov I couldn't care less about that one to be frank. Can't see Smith winning. Adames unlikely. Parker not a chance in hell of a KO. Kabayel could win by KO or points given Zhang's terrible stamina. It seems like a horrible match for Zhang if Kabayel is as good as folk are making out and aye could see Beterbiev points. Your picks are not as bad as some are making out really. You'll probably get half the victors right, definitely get 2, maybe not method. I wouldn't be putting much money on some of them though especially Parker by KO the bloke couldn't knock out a wank

    I bet on multiple markets for each fights, these are just one pick for each for a bit of fun. Agree some are unlikely but if there is some value in the odds it's worth covering IMO. Kabayel could be overrated, Mhakmudov was completely untested in the pro's and Frank Sanchez just has the win over Ajagba really so you could argue Zhang has fought at a much higher level. Great fight. I disagree about Parker, I think he has a good chance of beating Dubois. Parker is much better boxer and has improved under Andy Lee, If Dubois cannot get him out of there Parker will win ugly on points or even get the TKO if Dubois goes into take-a-knee mode.

    I don't think Parker is close to being a much better boxer. In fact I think Dubois is. That's why he has better wins because he's the better boxer. Being a better boxer we have to account for all the attributes and that includes jab, power, left hook, right hand, stamina, ambition, bravery, all of which go to Dubois. What exactly does Parker do better than Dubois that isn't one of these intangible things like adaptablity? that's a load of nonsense in this context anyway

    Parker fought prime Anthony Joshua and took him 12 rounds. He also Has wins over Zhang, Wilder, Ruiz, Joyce, Chisora x2.

    Dubois best win is an old shot Anthony Joshua, Jarrel Miller (lol) and Filip Hrgovic. And lets not forget Ebenezer Tettah.

    How has he got better wins?

    You are talking about Joshua being old and shot while you cite Wilder and Chisora twice. That's three of Parker's wins against old and shot opponents. Joshua wasn't old and shot. People were saying he was better than ever. The reason he lost was because Dubois isn't a knockover job like most of his wins. It was the same Joshua that knocked out Wallin and other useless opponents.

    Parker got a hometown decision against Ruiz, who himself has only ever beat Joshua. Parker and Ruiz was very close and if it was in USA it would go to Ruiz.

    Parker got knocked into another dimension by Joyce, got flattened by him, but you count it as one of Parker's wins.

    Parker didn't lay a glove on Joshua. It was a shite performance mate and I guarantee you've never watched that back again because it was so boring.

    Zhang was ancient and still put Parker down twice. Only lost due to zero stamina.

    You'll see on Saturday when Dubois knocks Parker out. Although you might still count that as a win for Parker by the looks of things.

    I wouldn’t bet on any sport and wouldn’t be tempted now because with the new ID and responsible betting rules. The bookies just ban you and freeze the funds if you win. Politicians in the UK are on the take so just allow this malpractice to continue.

    But I do make predictions and here are mine:

    Smith KO (Buatsi is packing glass and that is why he has always ducked stepping up. I think Smith is the man to shatter that glass.
    Buatsi is the betting favourite here and if it does go to the cards then I think he would get the nod even if he doesn’t deserve it)

    Sheeraz KO (don’t rate Adames)

    Kabayel KO (Zhang gasses and gets stopped)

    Madrimov UD (A very close fight but I think Madrimov edges it)

    Dubois UD (close fight and the hardest to predict, but i just think Dubois power will keep Parker honest, and it will go to the cards with Dubois get the nod even if he doesn’t deserve it)

    Beterbiev KO (Bivol needs to go for broke here, and I think Beterbiev catches and stops him. Bivol has been seriously hurt before)

    Joyce beat Dubois with a Jab.

    Lets not forget another Parker classic against Hughie Fury. Right up there with the Ruiz win.

    I can see you a big fan of the Big D, it's going to be a great fight and they are both enjoying a resurgence of late. You are calling Dubois KO I am going for the upset. May the best man win.

    I agree and think the odds are way to long on Smith for this fight, he can punch hard and if he catches Buatsi will knock him out. If Dubois can't knock Parker out I can see Parker getting a decision, same blueprint as the Zhang fight. I think Dubois is vulnerable too, if Kevin Lerrana can put him down anybody can, people have short memories when it comes to Dubois.
