    Same picks as Ellerbe for me. Crawford-Diaz I don't think is close enough to warrant inclusion though. Diaz is a really good, clever, underrated boxer, and I thought he kind of schooled Peterson. But Crawford's a full level above and should dominate. He'll probably be a close to 1/10 fave.

    Cuadras-Estrada is definitely the trickiest to pick. Estrada's hands are questionable and he hasn't looked great in a few of his recent fights. Possibly Cuadras is too busy and too good at keeping Esrada from setting himself. But I'll go with Estrada upping his game and showing great legs and winning with counterpunching.

    Joshua/Wlad-Joshua
    Spence/Brook-Spence
    Estrada/Cuadras-Estrada This was the hardest one or me to call. Estrada has good counter punching and timing, but when Cuadras is on point it's hard to deal with that speed.
    Chocolatito/Thai Guy-Chocolatito
    Ward/Kovalev-Ward
    Murata/N'dam-Murata
    Crawford/Diaz-Crawford

    What do you mean favorites? With the bookies, I don't check that bs before fights. If they are favorites besides the Crawford/Diaz and Joshua/Wlad fight, they are extremely small favorites. I deserve a **** load of credit if I get these picks right. On this board most of these fights are 50/50 besides Crawford/Diaz. Maybe Thai Guy/Chocolatito, and Joshua/Wlad too. The rest are real 50/50s.

    That's 1 for ellerbe. Closer than I expected, way closer. Thought it would be a UD too, kinda shocked Wlad went out like still, and in the 11th. If he was going I thought it wouldhave been in the 5th.

    I'm adding Wilder/Parker to this list. I'm picking Wilder.

    Joshua/Wlad-Joshua-1-0
    Spence/Brook-Spence
    Estrada/Cuadras-Estrada This was the hardest one or me to call. Estrada has good counter punching and timing, but when Cuadras is on point it's hard to deal with that speed.
    Chocolatito/Thai Guy-Chocolatito
    Ward/Kovalev-Ward
    Murata/N'dam-Murata
    Crawford/Diaz-Crawford
    Wilder/Joshua

    I don't watch enough boxing to do kirk's league. I only watch the mainstreams ones so it would be pointless.

    Does this Walsh guy have a chance against Tank Davis?..I don't know much about either, I've enjoyed the promotion though.
