    Mora has two gammy knees, that ain't a good thing against Angulo, sure Perro is no Jacobs, but he unlike Jacobs is more than willing to get hit plenty to land one. The pressure will get to Mora and his body will fail him. Angulo has been shot since 2013, but Mora has been shot since like 2011.

    Same here. But I'd have that feeling regardless of the pick with this one. Williams was my initial gut pick so might as well stick with it. Here's to hoping he keeps it long and puts on a clinic.... But I think he's going to have to overcome some rough moments which he has a better shot of doing against Gallimore who's less precise than Charlo.

    Both Williams and Gallimore both have a tendency to pull out with their chin up, the question is, which left hook is heavy enough to polish the other off?

    I think Gallimore has the better power to chin combination but Williams is quite a bit more skilled IMO. Hoping Gallimore gets to J-rock and knocks him out.

    I agree with your assessment. But I hope J-ROCK's skill prevails lol.

    I'm a far bigger fan of J-Rock, but he has looked a shell of himself in his last two outings, when you get rocked several times by Ishe Smith, that's cause for concern.

    Definitely. He needs to keep it long and avoid fighting on the inside at all costs.

    Agree, and I don't think he can do that, its not in his temperament.

    I definitely have my doubts lol. Which is why this is such a compelling fight.

    Horrible weekend for me. Congrats to the new People’s Champion who wins it with DeGale.
