    My #1 choice is Beterbiev in Russia or NYC then Zurdo in Texas as #2.

    All of the fights get more excited. We need more Fun Fights. No more Caparello defenses

    I mean, Il Capo was hardly an undramatic challenger, he did score a knockdown..

    Gvozdyk will probably fight his mandatory after Ngumbu, so he probably won't face Sergey this year..

    I'd like to see Kovalev-Yarde, although a win is meaningless to Sergey's legacy. But Yarde has been very protected, so he's unlikely.

    It will likely be Beterbiev or Ramirez. Of those two, probably Ramirez.
