My pick would also be Sam Soliman, he's got that unorthodox style and throws punches non-stop. In 5 round fights, its going to be tougher for the other boxers to adapt to his style.
Did you miss one of the fighters Killer? There's only 9 listed.

Got your pick entered for some reason Buchanan wasn't listed on ESPN's site, must be because of his nick name, "Sugar Poo"

Being the patriot, optimist and scouser that I am, I choose Paul Smith.

Hahahah, CC, that is a pretty shitty nickname. I wonder how he got it.

I'm going with Sakio Bika.

Sam Soliman.

With his active punching style he is sure to rack up rounds based on activity and with only 5 rounds it will be hard for other boxers to wear him down.

It was a toss up between Bika and Soliman but after thinking about it for a minute. Then after thinking about it Swice made me realize that they are only fighting 5 rounds. With the style Soliman has it will take them at least 3 rounds to figure out the angle his punches are coming from.

I pick Soliman

yes way

Man this is a tough one. I've got it between Bika, Soliman and Paul Smith. Bika is a real tough guy who works the body well ad makes fights ugly, Soliman is a slick boxer and Paul Smith looks like a very good brawler. I guess im gonna pick Soliman because a good technical boxer usually causes lot of problems to aggresive fighters.

I already had Wayne Johnson picked since about 2 weeks ago in another pool.

I will say this, there are a lot of knock outs in this season.

And the best thing is....

ESPN will be showing all the fights after the episode.
Yeehaa!
