Poulsen won by UD......

 

Kean Ko6 Lowe Ud close

 

Lowe UD

 

Hart Ud close Fury Ko7 Makabu Ko5

 

Surprised none of you Hart backers have had a change of "Heart"...

 

Hart wants to be great, so he will stop him in eight!

 

Makabu KO

 

Kyoguchi KO; Ioka UD

 

Only a few backing Makabu? Strange considering he's shown huge grit and stamina in a FOTY contender affair where as the Russian has shown he's all but completely allergic to pressure and punches...

 

My big worry as a Makabu backer is that Kudra is probably P4P the hardest puncher in years and the fact Makabu is vulnerable. Kudra sucks ass hair but he does have devastating power and can put a shot together pretty decently. Sooner or later he probably lands and that might be enough to wobble Makabu and then the finish will come. If Makabu can somehow compose himself to avoid Kudra for a few rounds then he should win with ease.

 

Why can't Makabu just blast Kudra out in two rounds? He has the power. He's every bit the power threat the Russian is in my opinion, and in my opinion Kudra isn't as tough nor does he have the stamina of Makabu.

 

Makabu KO. Gotta make it official...

 

Makabu can, that's why I picked him.
But it might very well be that Kud blasts out Makabu inside a couple of rounds. Both are glass cannons, but Makabu seems to have a bit more skill.
