    Liam is a very skilled fighter, highly underrated. If he was an athlete he would be elite. Callum is probably marginally less skilled but also a hell of a lot more athletic and big for his weight class.

    I actually think he makes 168 easier than Groves despite being a hell of a lot bigger.

    I'm thinking this will be a break out moment for Callum.

    The only breaking moment for Callum, will be of the heartbreak variety.

    Groves just loves.....

    No, he isn't. He's static, lacks head movement, doesn't cut the ring off particularly well, isn't unpredictable or a particularly clever fighter at all. He has solid fundamentals and he's a very tough lad, but very skilled he absolutely is not. He was losing the first Williams fight and the second was still very close.

    It may prove to be the case for Callum, his size will be a factor, but if he does win I think it has to go down as something of an upset. Him and Jr would have been a fun fight.

    Helenius said in an interview that Teper has a good chin but he managed to drop and hurt him in sparring with body shots. Sparring is sparring but maybe the kebab man is weak downstairs? I do believe Helenius will go looking for a body shot KO but I don't have much faith he'll pull it off but at this point I'm almost biased against him. On the other hand, Teper hasn't looked so great either lately. I'd say light shade of green.

    Both Johnson’s have a good chance of the upset this weekend.

    Still not sold on dubois and who knows what kingpin will turn up as he’s had a few upsets in the past leapai comes to mind.

    Beterbiev is very hitable and has been dropped by much softer punchers in the past and Callum can bang, plus artur has had all the managing issues going on so who knows what effect that will have.

    I've seen you can get Hughie Fury as an 11/10 underdog in the bookies. Surely this is a good bet. Pulev wont have fought in 20 months when they step in the ring.

    They are fighting in Bulgaria, if Hughie can't get the stoppage he isn't getting the decision which is exactly the reason why fat ass baby Miller walked away from the fight.

    Sirotkin is skilled but can get sloppy, but he ha a small chance.

    Machado should violently KO him, but I thought the same last time.

    Saucedo is like 2 divisions too high, he's toast.

    Yigit could easily school Ivan if he can take his power.... but that's a big IF!

    Slight change, but it would shock the hell out of me.
