    Nah, not casual, just not a hardcore hipster. I actually wouldn't even say all the fights I mentioned are mainstream.

    Having an insatiable urge to watch big and small men violently bludgeon one another, isn't what I'd call hipster like behavior. I prefer the term fanatic.:headbash:headbash:headbash

    Walsh actually looks pretty slick, and fast. He does have a chance imo. If Tank goes out there swinging for the fences and gasses out he can outpoint him.

    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-0-1
    Crawford/Diaz-Crawford
    Wilder/Joshua

    Update.

    Taking back my Kovalev/Ward pick. This is too 50/50 to call. And before people start crying and whining, ward is the slight favorite. There are just too many unknown factors for me to make a good prediction. I 100% believe Kovalev was over trained even though I don't think that's the sole factor of him gassing out. I also believe that Ward now that he's tasted Kovalev's power will have a better start.

    5-1 on picks.

    Apparently they fixed the decision. 4-2 on picks. Should be 5-1 since Murata clearly got robbed though.

    Pretty comfortable picks actually, I would have picked the same way except maybe N'dam.

    Easy to say that after the fights are over.
