    If one of these was to pull off an upset this Saturday which do you think has the best chance to pull it off?

    Viktor Postol, but I'd so love Broner to loose again to put an end to this clown for good.

    Not sure it'd be that much of an upset if Khabib won to be honest

    Allakhverdiev will have to overcome corrupt judges, but will win more rounds than Postol

    ^This. I expect him to win. Broner is weak second-tier material at best.

    Allakhverdiev... because Mathysse > Broner. As simple as that

    Postol because he's actually a very dangerous contender. Khabib, not so much.

    Postol has a good chance against Matthysse. He's rangy and has a high output.
    There's not much to suggest a whole lot of punch power, with which to deter Matthysse, but Postol might well frustrate him and outwork him to score well over twelve rounds.

    At the bookies, sure (and even there Broner fetches scant more than 1/2, not an overwhelming favorite as in most of his pre-Maidana career) but not in reality.

    Allahkverdiev is a class operator, whom I'm guessing you've watched in action exactly zero times.

    Broner struggled with the likes of Taylor and Molina. His effectiveness has taken a massive dip since he quit draining to beat up on super feathers and lightweights. Anyone natural 140lber at even the fringes of world class (which Allahkverdiev is, make no mistake) has a good chance with Broner, some more than others depending on style match-ups.

    - I think Postol is formidable but Matthysse is possibly the worst matchup for him at 140. Allakhverdiev winning wouldn't be an upset.

    - H2H i'd favor Postol over Khabib

    - Postol would literally embarrass cement foot Broner and could likely beat Garcia for similar reasons although Danny's power gives him more of a shot.

    - I like both guys alot but expect Matthysse to win i just hope Postol doesn't disappear into a black hole afterwards and get abandoned by his American promotional affiliate because he could beat most the top jww's imo.

    Allakhverdiev is undefeated regardless of what his record may imply, he beat Jessie Vargas and didn't get credit for it, and I think Vargas could beat Broner or at least come close, so I go with Khabib.

    Postol is getting knocked out. He can't Lucas off him. He couldn't even keep Lundy at bay.
