    Decent chance Hammer upsets him.

    How? Hammer is tough but thats about it. Unless Fury gets a cut, he will win by a wide UD.

    Yea im guessing a UD for Fury. Last time I saw Hammer he was not impressive at all (against Yoka).

    It's going to be an ugly close fight. Ton of clinching. Fury isn't that good, Hammer usually only loses clearly to top heavyweights.

    I'll take Hammer. He hates Tyson, and would love to beat up on cousin Hughie. I'll bet he comes in the best shape of his life.

    Will be similar to Fury vs Rudenko imo but we'll see!

    Makhmudov is facing Erkan Teper on the 23rd in Canada.
    On paper it's a decent name, but Teper hasn't been the same since he got popped and hasn't fought in over 1.5 years.
    I'd rather see Makhmudov against Hammer or Wach.

    Looks like Whyte is choosing shot old Arreola.

    Another example how bad the state of boxing is when arreola is on the verge of getting another title shot after over 12 years of getting his ass kicked by vitali.

    Arreola is pretty much shot. Whyte is picking an easy, shot opponent here.

    I can definitely see that, but Fury just can't be trusted to perform well. I was a Hughie Fury backer for years on here before getting totally fed up, I think he's as good as he'll get. Maybe I'm wrong, and he'll finally turn the page, but that Rudenko fight was 6 years ago......

    Whyte only picks old guys or someone coming off a loss, no surprise...

    Not sure all the hate for Whyte. Looking back his last opponents
    Povetkin
    Povetkin
    Wach
    Rivas (unbeaten)
    Chisora
    Parker
    Browne (unbeaten)
    Helenius

    With the exception of Wach (which was a short notice fight if im remembering right) that's a pretty solid list for a modern heavyweight.

    Fury is fighting Wilder. AJ is fighting Usyk. Ruiz is hurt. This is a stay busy fight for sure but not sure why he's getting hate for it.

    Edit: also this should be an undercard fight not a main event.
