These predictions are clearly biased to make Tyson Fury look better

Miller batter Dubious (who bellied Usyk). Wilder 1st round KO Parker and Wallin outbox AJ.

Clearly you're a Fury shill.

 

Joshua SD
Wilder KO
Hrgovic TKO
Bivol TKO
Opetaia TKO
Miller TKO
Makhmudov TKO
Sanchez TKO

 

Miller TKO5
AJ-Wallin DRAW
Parker TKO6
Bivol UD Shut-out
Opetaia KO5

 

If that were to happen - Hearn has no great prospects for AJ's next fight.

If DuBois wins, then there is simply no way Parker can win on the cards.

 

AJ stops Wallin in 6
Wilder KOs Parker in 9
Miller RTDs Dubois in 9
Bivol over 12
Opetaia KO2
Makhmudov TKO3 Kabayel
Sanchez TKO8 Fa

 

Makhmudov-Kabayel looks like a giant vs a midget.

 

Joshua TKO R10 Wallin
Wilder TKO R8 Parker
Dubois KO R3 Miller, then harvests him to cook his Xmas roast potatoes in
Makhmudov KO mid rounds Kabayel
Hrgovic KO early De Mori, then harvests some of his vowels. Now styles himself Hirogovice
Sanches beats Fa in whatever way
Bivol TKO R10 Arthur
Opetaia beats Zorro because everyone else says so, no idea who they actually are to be honest

 

I think it's strange that nobody has predicted that DuBois - Miller will end in DuBois victory by way of a Miller DQ. If things are not going well for Miller in the first couple rounds, I can absolutely see him doing something to get himself DQ'ed rather than suffer a stoppage loss at the hands of DuBois.

 

First the ones I'm confident about...

• Hrgovic KO Rd 1 De Mori (won't need a "T" for this "KO", folks)
  
• DuBois DQ Rd 3 Miller
• Sanchez TKO Rd 6 Fa
• Bivol TKO 10 Arthur

Now the ones that I see being much harder to predict

• If Wilder stops Parker - it will be in the front half of the fight. Otherwise, I see Parker meriting a wide-ish UD on the cards or even stopping a tiring Wilder. I don't think Parker will get a decision, though, if Miller loses (and I do think Miller will lose!)
• Similarly, if Makhmudov is going to stop Kabayel, I think he will do it early. I like Makh, but he's not a versatile performer who can make adjustments. If he fails to stop Kabayel in the front half, I suspect he'll fade a bit and this could be very close. If that happens, I still favor Makh to get the nod because he's undoubtedly the A-side here.
  
• AJ v. Wallin. I'm confident AJ can outbox Wallin over 12 rounds. Won't rule out a stoppage, either. But if AJ forces the issue w/ Wallin - he could tire and be outboxed or worse. A wide-ish decision doesn't really cut it for AJ at this stage - so there might be voices whispering in his head to throw caution to the wind. If he listens to those voices, this could be ugly.

 

Makh vs kabayel is a 10rounder?

 

Joshua via KO. Wilder via brutal KO and Dubois via Stoppage
