24/1 McIntyre UD
28/1 Sarritzu UD, Chebah UD (The fight is in Algeria, clearly going to be dodge, IF IT HAPPENS)
29/1 Michael Banbula (Same trainer as Mendy and Sprott so knows the format and is very awkward very useful over 3 rounds)

:hi: Alright Neil...Hows tricks...:good

 

Man I gotta say there are a lot of tricky picks here. Couldnt you *******s ease us into the year? :twisted:

My 2p...this Jamoye character looks decent. Solid, upright, not hard to find but strong and a good work-rate himself. To be honest not too dissimilar to McDonnell, this will likely mesh into a very good give and take fight. I just give Jamie the edge, home advantage but would not be at all surprised if the young Belgian won.

I honestly don't know how much Johanneson has left. Bhatia is not what we once thought though. He may expose Carl a little early on if Carl lacks sharpness and timing as he does have speed. I dunno based on the Arthur fight I guess you've got to fancy Carl to grit this one out, a bit too strong.

Dirty Derry, much improved but only over the 3 round format. Against a guy that stopped him not long ago but is on the downslide. It seems like Derry is on an upcurve and Lawton on a downcurve but its still a very tricky one to call. Then I read Lawton is suffering with a few niggles which is why he's retiring and it tips the balance for me, I was going to go for Lawton but the hunger won't be the same if he's retiring.

There is literally one round of Karl on YouTube against Mohammedi and it does not tell me a lot. He landed a good punch...but what else of him? I'm not sure. But I do know I'm not sold on McIntosh's mentality in big fights, he looked a rabbit in the headlights against Clev. He's got a real legit chance here based on my short viewing of Karl but I don't know if he can grasp it, and his lack of fundamental skill is a worry. Have to go for Karl on the odds of it.

I don't think Haskins is going to get any cred whatsoever for his horrible style in Italy. None. Sarritzu purely based on that, Haskins needs a KO which is not impossible but again I have to go for the Euro on the odds of it. Sarritzu looks a bit of a switchhitter himself, this is gonna get real ugly.

Chebah has been appalling whenever I've seen him. Nice record but poor fighter. This is Olusegun's chance, he should be chomping at the bit to finally get out there. I'll take him here for a late stoppage or decision.

Pointless trying to find logic for Prizefighter. I'll just take Travis because its often made a star out of someone fairly under the radar.
