Madrimov TKO7 Crawford Miller UD Ruiz Jr Bakole KO5 Anderson Valenzuela TKO3 Isaac Cruz Morell KO2 Kalajdzic
Wow I have Crawford KO 7 Ruiz UD Anderson UD Cruz UD Morrell early KO I won’t be unhappy if you are right, just think they finsh quite differently Crawford fight seems like a gimme to me, other ones are just 60/40, maybe Cruz 70/30
I think the matchmakers knew exactly what they were doing and bakole will get battered by Anderson and then Jared will look like the next big thing, 5 years ago I would have said Ruiz easily beats miller but after all these years of lazyness and inactivity I like big baby to outwork him, also wouldn’t be surprised to see hot rod upset Morell
it is a decent card. Madrimov KO9 Crawford Ruiz Jr SD Miller Bakole KO5 Anderson Isaac Cruz KO8 Valenzuela Morell UD Kalajdzic some heavy handed athletes on this card. regardless of the outcome of the fights, the fans win.
Sorry I missed his, but check my reasoning for my picks in the RBR. I elaborated on why with most of them.
I didn’t watch Cruz fight because I hate watching him but the other kid must be legit to beat him. Miller deserved the win tbh and Madrimov wasn’t far off, probably gets the W in his home town. Suprised at how quick his feet were and his chin was terrific. A bit more output and he could have got it. He is a small 154 guy, made Crawford look big, but even Crawford raved about his strength. little Baby isn’t as hard to hit as I thought. I thought he might just out manoeuvre the big guy and have stamina to take over. pretty good picks!
Thanks James, people put way too much stock in the fact that Valenzuela lost to De Los Santos, which ironically I also predicted. It was a last minute replacement, in De Los Santos, a fellow southpaw knockout artist, with a vicious right hook. The same one that Shakur Stevenson ran from for 12 rounds, like a scared little *****, once he felt his power. So it was the definition of a whoever lands first might win by KO type of match. They both dropped each other, but De Los Santos, dropped him harder and he never quite recovered. Valenzuela came roaring back, dominated Colbert, and got robbed, so he immediately rematched him and knocked him the **** out in seven. I loved the improvements I saw in the rematch, and knew if he followed the same disciplined game plan against Cruz, he'd beat him. I figured Miller's massive size and stamina would see him through, and that he'd simply overwhelm a rusty Andy, who was coming off of a one year layoff. He was never genuinely stunned by Dubois, even the TKO stoppage. He was just too tired to throw back. So I knew Fat Andy would be incapable of hurting him. Andy can only fights in spurts, whereas a fit Miller is relentless from start to finish. The Bakole fight was a gimme, Anderson was trash before the Martin fight, but at least he had confidence. Which that fight also robbed him off. Apparently no one saw his match against tiny cruiserweight Merhy, who he fought timidly against like he was Mike Tyson. Bakole's an iron chinned brick shithouse, and I knew Anderson's powder puff volume punching would have zero effect on him. Which was a nightmarish recipe against the guy with superior timing and power.
