    Not a shock here. I bet you picked Haugen, Ramirez and Nelson to beat Pea as well.

    Those guys weren't as skilled as Starling. Marlon would get the job done.

    Surprised to see a lot of people picking Whitaker. Starling would have the size advantage, plus he had faster hand speed, more power, and the boxing ability to really trouble Whitaker. Starling was also a very good counter puncher and in-fighter as well. People forget just how good Starling was when he was on form. A sharp Starling would have beaten Whitaker convincingly IMO.
