****Kirks Championships 2017 ****

Not much actual talent comes out of that part of the world, to be honest and blunt. Plenty of heavweights look like monsters against that kind of dreadful regional opposition.

You can be a medium sized fish in a small pond and still look like a monster.

 

Izu IS limited but Breazeale is so slow and he looks in dreadful shape. In these types of fight I always lean for the guy who promoters can make the most money off and that is Izu.

I know your betting man so Izu by points is 10/3 I'm gunna be taking that I don't think either man has serious power and Breazeale can take a punch as good as anyone.

 

I wonder what the under is set at. Probably 5.5 rounds, like the Amir Mansour fight.

You have to think about who money has already been invested in, not just the future. Dom received a shady decision or two on the way up, and he was obviously groomed to be one of the new American heavyweights on the block. Maybe he's being cashed out, I don't know honestly. I've stopped presuming I know anything about boxing on any significant level.

 

The under is 7.5 here in the U.K. not sure about the US.

It's gunna be Ugonoh like you said Breazeale has already had the money swing things his way. Haymon just signed Ugonoh, who has the physique of picture perfect HW they would probably wanna market him as one of the rivals of AJ and Wilder. However these are all my suspicions time will tell but I got Ugonoh by points.in a competitive fight.

 

Hmm, interesting stuff.

You almost have to think several steps ahead with boxing. As in, if they propped Dom up by giving him decisions that he doesn't deserve, promoting him, spending the money on gyms and trainers for him.... what's the end goal? It was a slaughter in the UK to further hype bigger and better (and more lucrative) matches for another fighter.

It's a long con. Promoters know what matches they're trying to put together a year plus in advance. It's bull****.

 

Deloach TKO

Did I get this one in on time? =/

Alvarez beats Bute by 5th Round TKO

 

Lies! Bute slipped and hurt his ankle! Anyone who picked Bute should receive full credit.

 

And on the flip side, anyone who picked Alvarez should have to forfeit a minimum of 5 wins...!!!

 

I challenge @pablinov for the People's Championship.
His Narvaez pick against my Rodriguez pick

 

I'll score the Rodriguez-Narvaez right here.

Narvaez boxing from distance. He's the faster fighter and he looked pretty good counterpunching Rodriguez as he came in. He has good footwork. Good hooks.

Round 1: 10-9 Narvaez

10-9 Narvaez

 

Cotto seems to be Narvaez's promoter and he's watching at ringside.
