A few things for you all to consider today.

Fielding wasn't KO'd by a featerfist in Rebrasse, but almost, Ryder however was KO'd by a featherfist in Blackwell, Fielding has yet to lose on points, Ryder was brutally robbed in a match that he should have won lopsidedly in against Jack Arnfield, and he lost by shutout, not even SD. So will they be looking to do Ryder any favors tomorrow in Fielding backyard? And Ryder is a small Middleweight moving up, Fielding is a large Super Middleweight.

Arthur Abraham is old, and has had almost nothing but what should have been losses or close matches in the last 5 years, he arguably lost to Murray, Smith, Stieglitz and definitively lost to the much larger Ramirez. Krasniqi is large as in Ramirez large, and a natural Light Heavyweight large. See....

Krasniqi is an underrated boxer and usually gives most opponents who are average fits, granted he lost to Cleverly and Braehmer, but Cleverly is a damn good fighter, most people seem to forget that, and his volume overwhelmed Krasniqi and Braehmer is an awkward southpaw whose only loss in ages came against the other guy that beat Krasniqi in Cleverly. Krasniqi can and has fought off the backfoot well, and if he using his immense size and reach advantage he can outpoint Abraham, Carl Froch style, with no real issue, because at this point, let's be honest, Abraham is very very average. Krasniqi lives in Germany as well and Thuringen is neither of their home towns, can he win a UD? No, of course not, its Germany, but he can win a SD.

Also a DRAW which is an option isn't out of the question.

Langford has an 8 inch height advantage, got that? EIGHT INCH. As far as the reach advantage, not sure, but by the looks of it, it will be immense as well, Langford is no bum, he controls distance quite well, isn't nearly as featherfisted as most seem to think, nearly all of his TKO victories have come after he graduated to 12 rounders, which means he's an accumulation puncher and he's a volume puncher, now take that into consideration with Khurtsidze, who will be walking into shots over and over, probably with far more frequency than any of Langford's other opponents, its not out of the question Langford the ridiculously large, rehydrated up to SMW stopping the tiny little Khurtsidze, how many bonks on top of the head can an old man take before wilting?

Who has Tete faced in recent matches that had close to Villanueva's skill level Certainly not Paul Butler or Teiru Kinoshita, Villanueva's lone loss came at the hands of Arroyo, who my opinion and Pinoy's Villanueva handled rather easily and was robbed. Sure Tete has the reach and height advantage, but Tete has shown to be fragile in the past and Villanueva is a little more heavy handed that his recent pposition, and also already proved he can handle a southpaw in Arroyo quite well. If Moruti Mthalane can KO Tete, so can Villanueva.

Marriaga is a beast, and is very heavy handed, and has a height and reach advantage on Valdez, who while looking like a beast recently himself, he hasn't been in with what I'd call stellar opposition, I have no doubt Marriaga would have handled them with relative ease as well, granted I lean towards Valdez here as well, but its far from a forgone conclusion, and this is the year of the upset, Marriaga may just have his number.

And last but not least, Murray is coming off of several severe beatings, the Groves, Abraham and Golovkin matches, and add in Lawal, which was more competitive than it should have been, and this was all except for the GGG match up at SMW, now Murray is moving back down to Middleweight to face Rosado. How well will Murray react after fighting up there for a year and a half and now draining himself back down, what effect will that have on his body, will it make his chin vulnerable enough for one of the freak occurrences like Jones Jr.-Johnson/Tarver to occur? Its very possible, the GGG and Groves matches were career enders, just how much can Murray have left in that tank? Rosado looks poor against slick fighters, Murray isn't slick, Murray looks poor against sharpshooters like Groves and combination punchers like GGG, Rosado when he wants to be is a good sharpshooter and a decent combination puncher, and Murray will probably stand and trade with him. Will Murray's batdown and weight drain catch up with him? Hmmm.
