    As much as I hate that ghoulishly ugly cancerous bat looking little bugger, I have a bad feeling Sunny Edwards is going to school him. Although a robbery isn't out if the question.

    Bam will probably win, but I would love to see Edwards get an upset so he can call out Clarissa Shields to go on a date after the fight.

    Not much talk here considering it's a unified championship bout, arguably the best two active Flyweights going toe to toe here.

    I think Bam has more tools in his arsenal and is the better technician. It'll be a competitive fight but Bam most likely wins this clearly.

    Edwards clearly the underdog then, but a skilled boxer for sure

    I like Bam - he loves Loma and has borrowed a lot from Loma's style and any fighter who loves Loma or Usyk immediately earns themselves a new fan in me, even more so if I like their style and personality.

    But I've got to call it like I see it and he is clearly absolutely terrified of Sunny even though he's the bigger man and Sunny has a very low KO%. He's scared of Sunny's unshakable self-belief, razor-sharp tongue, quick wit, and obviously his slickness.

    You don't have to be physically imposing or scary or mean looking to be intimidating. Supreme self-confidence, slickness and a sharp tongue can be terrifying, especially if your slick opponent looks like a cross between a malnourished gerbil, an orphaned little boy, and Gollum's son

    Apparently things got very spicy at the press conference

    Listen to Sunny here, you'll be thinking to yourselves where the hell does he get all his self-confidence and cockiness from he looks like a 9 y/o boy? :facepalm:

    Can't doubt Sunny's self confidence. I'm thinking this will be a great fight.

    Sunny is a good fighter, he's no bum but he's not on the level of bam imo and it will show tommorow.

    Sunny is completely fearless, some might say to the point of being delusional, but mentally he's unbreakable

    ''I live in a world of violence. I was born in violence. I was made in violence. I'm molded in it. And championed in violence!''

    I'm trying to think of a similar fighter who had the same level of self confidence as Sunny... Someone who genuinely believed it..

    Mexican fighters usually don’t yap a lot. They talk with their fists instead.
