Easy money coming soon, fight predictions

Even though this is a **** fight, and an unneeded rematch, I wouldn't write off Chisora here. He managed to stun Pulev in the first fight. Well, both of them have a lot more miles on them, but Pulev is coming off of being stunned a time or two against Forrest, looking bad against Dinu, until the cut, and getting beaten up by AJ. The first one ended in a SD, in Germany. So a Chisora victory... in the UK cannot be written off. NOT easy money.

In all likelihood, since far lesser shot opponents, with 1/4 the power of Dubois have rocked and dropped Bryan, who looked pisspoor against both Stiverne and Guidry, who are both terrible. Means Dubois might KO him in 1. So this going the distance, is a TERRIBLE bet.

Not saying Far Andy won't win this, if I had to put money down, I probably would go with Ruiz on points. However, let me blow your mind here, in a 13 year career, Andy Ruiz Jr. has NEVER faced a southpaw. Ortiz still controls range very well, and most likely still packs more of a punch than Arreola. So the likelihood of Andy with his at times face first style, walking onto something big... is huge. Also, in terms of punching power, Ruiz is no Martin, he struggles to KO shot past it bums with bad chins usually. So... RISKY as **** bet.

This one I agree with for the reason you laid out, although due to that lack of strength and power, and inability to defend against the awkwardness and angles of Michael. I think Hunter will be able to stop Hughie late.

Agree.

Another one you need to mull over a little more. How much of GGG's drop off has been due to cutting weight at almost 40? Will GGG's power and strength improve at 168? If GGG uses the same crush/kill/destroy tactics on Canelo that he used on Murata, will Canelo be prepared, after cutting weight again, to defend against it? How much will the Bivol beatdown have taken out of Canelo? He was gassed for the last 5 rounds, if GGG sets a crazy pace, like he brought against Murata, that could also be trouble. Also, GGG is still the best Middleweight on the planet, struggling against Derevyanchenko means nothing, so did Charlo. So the end result of this, is far from a forgone conclusion.

Probable outcome, I have a hard time seeing Parker keeping The Juggernaut off of him, however, if Joe lands that nasty ass uppercut on Joe enough, that he dropped Chisora with several times. Could he manage to do the unthinkable and drop Joe once, maybe twice? Could that play a factor? It's not like Joe isn't crazy open to that shot. Also Parker usually prefers to feast on aggressive fighters. Although I do think Joe walks him down and stops him.

Not even close to a sure thing. Clearly Beterbiev's power has been waning as of late. Fine, I get why the Gvozdyk match lasted 10 rounds, The Nail is tough as hell, and was outboxing him for the first half, he had to be very careful. But Deines and Browne going 10 and 9, that's questionable. There's no reason why Gasanov and Pascal were able to land far more devastating punches on either of them. Regardless, Beterbiev has been struggling to get sturdy opponents out of there lately. Now, add in that Joe Smith Jr's power may equal or surpass that of Beterbiev. He's tough as nails and in spite of having his goddamn jaw broken twice, has never gone down. He has the will of iron, and only struggles with excellent boxers with exemplary jabs and control of range, and even then with guys like Alvarez and Hart, improved enough to outwork both of them by a mile, and stop the latter for the first time in his career. Means Joe has gotten a lot better. Now... what was Joe's most memorable KO? It was against Fonfara. What was Fonfara doing when that happened? He was going for the kill, pressuring Joe, and got caught with a right hook from the pits of ****ing hell, that he walked right into. No one walks into Smith's power. Beterbiev can't help himself. This is anything BUT a safe bet.

 

Oh... so do I. I think Joyce will batter him to his first stoppage loss. Although I do think Parker will be problematic for the first 6 rounds. As far as Andy-Luis, I'm actually leaning King Kong Ortiz by stoppage.

 

t's certainly possible, the safe bet is Pulev.... but you know as well as I, Delboy is unpredictable as ****.
