Predictions for the card on February 22nd?

I know you despise Sheeraz about as much as I do, I'm curious if you think Adames has any chance at the upset. I've seen some footage of Adames before but not a lot and nothing that impressive. I'm hoping his pressure-heavy, awkward, clubbing style will mean he catches Sheeraz with something decent and hurts that suspect chin of his.

 

Beterbiev by decision in another close fight.
Dubois points, maybe a SD, it's going too be close.
Sheeraz KO
Madrimov KO
Stevenson UD
Buatsi UD
Kabayel UD

 

Bud was on another level to Madrimov but should have tried to knock him out.

 

Bivol PTS
Kabayel KO
PARKER UD

For the rest I need to check a bit more

 

Bivol UD - I thought he won the first time, and I think he'll be a bit better/even more active this time. Wouldn't be surprised with any result here, or with dodgy judging, but all in all I think Bivol will make the better adjustments.
Parker TKO - Wouldn't be surprised if Dubois scored the KO early, but if this goes past the 6th I think Dubois starts to tire (reminds me of Ray Mercer, a 'six round fighter') and Parker will ware him down, make him quit.
Kabayel UD - I think this is more competitive than a lot of people on here. But Kabayel is a great body puncher, and Zhang gets naturally tired even without a hammering to the body (but if either of these two is getting KO'd it's Kabayel not Zhang).
Sheeraz KO - begrudingly. Sounds like Queensberry have tried some dodgy stuff too, stopping Adames from getting to Saudi until a few days before the fight. I'm rooting for Adames. But I think Sheeraz will knock him out early.
Shakur TKO - Think this will be a one-sided fight. Shakur won't have developed punching power since his last fight but this will be too much of jump for Schofield and i see the ref/his team calling it a day before the final bell.
Ortiz Jr. KO - I'm one of the few that actually thought Ortiz outpointed Bohachuk (very close) and I think Madrimov is overrated from the Crawford fight. I expect a great win for Ortiz.
Buatsi UD - I really like Buatsi, hope he continues his winning streak, he's picking up some good wins, but for some reason his power seems to have gone. Will be interesting to see if Smith's heart is still in it tho.

 

I have place the following multi bet $100 at $5.86 all head to head bets
Kabayel over Zhang
Buatsi over Smith
Sheeraz over Adames
Dubois over Parker (this one pains me a bit because I would love for Joe to win and I am not counting him out.)

 

Thinking about it he is probably the toughest opponent of Shakur's career. I would love to see Schofield cause the upset.

 

He hardly did anything, the fight was a cagey bore, I feel if Bud went into a higher gear he would have stopped Madrimov.

 

My initial predictions are as follows:

Bivol PTS
Parker TKO
Adames KO
Madrimov KO
Stevenson PTS
Buatsi KO
Zhang KO

 

I just can't pull the trigger on picking Schofield for the win in the prediction league but Im right there with you rooting for a Floyd win.
