    How do you see it playing out? I've got kind of that feeling when Langford was being brought up from the British scene and he got taken out a few months ago, by the first guy he fought that could apply real pressure.

    That's basically the same feeling I have here, Burnett is talented, but I've never been overly thrilled by him or think his skill level is off the charts, he's very beatable, and IMO, Zhanat might be the worst possible style for him at this stage in the career, and for his first defense. I'd have picked Zhanat to beat Haskins as well.

    Zhanat lumped up Warren pretty good. Guy's a little savage with a great engine. I don't think Burnett is going to be slipping or rolling with Zhanat's stuff, he fights nothing like Warren who's great at taking the steam off shots along the ropes.

    Revenge of the Sith is easily the best apart from the original trilogy.

    Switch to Gassiev TKO8 for WBK.

    WBK reserves: Sulecki close UD, Masternak wide UD, Zepeda TKO8.

    Rest of league picks: Mukala close UD, Fuzile wide UD, Giacon close UD.

    The requirement that league and WBK picks have to be the same is a little bit of a pain right now.

    For the WBK I'd like to put SD/MDs to try and KO pablinov but a plain boring UD is probably more likely in the grand scheme of things and I need KOs in the league given the current standings ....

    Not a complaint btw, just an observation :)

    U don’t always have to be risky. It’s about taking calculated risks

    Yes, all I'm saying is that the optimal strategy for the WBK is a little different to the optimal strategy for the league.

    Due to SD/MD producing instant knock-outs, they are a better pick in the WBK than in the league (in general UDs happen more often than SD/MD but the instant KOs swing it).
