I went back and watched the Burns match, and just how much he was tagged flush by Ricky, then I watched the Mikey-Juanma to see how Mikey deals with southpaws, and that was Juanma being less aggressive than usual, while Dejan I can guarantee has a better chin than Juanma, his aggression will work against him in a big way with Mikey tonight, if he gets tagged by Mikey as much as he got tagged by Ricky, the match won't go the distance. Maybe KO4 is a bit too soon, but if Dejan goes all out, its possible. Also, Redkach is a fellow southpaw, which contributed to how easily Dejan was able to handle him, so that match has little relevance in comparison.
thats hard as ****, but garcia is proven get up from a beatdown and comeback with power. berchelt hasnt done that as far as i know. im going with berchelt i reckon he will get swamped, but atleast he seems to have a defence. lol and he could be a bigger finisher than miura. this month is too hard for me anyway.
I think Berchelt will surprise a ton of people tonight...!!! He will frustrate Vargas, and if he can utilize his jab-right hand combo as a strong weapon and not just as a going-through-the-motion type of punch(es) he has a good chance of putting Vargas on the canvas...!!! Berchelt will win the fight but lose on the scorecards (Hence why I didn't pick him)...!!!
Yeah I think Berchelt is the real deal, he's a better technical boxer than Salido and Miura, he's patient, defensively responsible, usually has a fairly tight high guard, a savage stiff jab, a hell of a combination puncher, his accuracy is immaculate at times, has the amateur pedigree, I think Vargas has taken a ton of punishment lately, and that Berchelt will play it safe with him for the first 3 or 4 rounds and gradually increase the pressure and activity leading to a late stoppage win for him, because like you said, he's a better finisher than Miura, who just goes all out, Berchelt is patient and sharp when he has his man hurt, similar to Usyk and GGG.
scorecards?! suck me sideways! ive backed the under 11 rounds all in. i reckon this is a tko special.
@PinoyProdigy @kirk @CST80 We have the People's Championship Belt, can we get a "steppingstone" belt for the lower ranked participants...??? Maybe have the People's Championship be for only those in the Top 1-10 and the other belt for the other participants...!!! I'd love to fight for the 1st EVER Kirk's Intercontinental Championship Belt against some lower ranked punk (@CST80 )
