    :yep I agree with everything you just said. I voted for Hide by tko/ko, and I stick with that. I am a fan of both guys, but I am more of a fan of Hide's.

    Mine? I had Wlodarczyk eeking it out by a point or two. The second knockdown was a legit one so it should have been a 10-7 round. But even without that extra point I had him winning by a point. It was by no means a robbery though, just a slightly, slightly disputable decision. I've seen a lot of foreign fighters getting jobbed over here and I guess we deserve to be mentioned along with Germans when it comes to hometown robberies but I feel this is not one of those times.

    My pick will kinda depend on where this fight will be held. Also, I need to see Hides last 3 or so fights, its hard seeing a Hide fight go the distance and well, 4 of his last 5 went the distance. Thats kinda weird cause his fights never go the distance and now all of a sudden he's winning UD's n **** over boxers, I dunno what gives but he has really good power.

    Ill have to see fights like vs. that Nigerian guy who lost to Ross and those other ones in Germany undercards.

    Good point.

    This is winnable for Hide although he goes in as the underdog. He will certainly need to fight better than his last few outings. Hide will need to start fast, because if Fragomeni can take most of the early rounds I feel he has enough to see the fight through for a points decision.

    However if Hide can most of the early rounds, we could be in for a great fight. Fragomeni will then need to go for it, enabling Hide to pick his shots. Fragemeni has a good chin, and it may come down to simply who wants it more!

    For now im gonna say Fragomeni by points in a close fight, but I need to see more of Hides last 2 / 3 fights to make a 100%
    prediction
