Pac-Broner/Badou Jack-Marcus Browne/Warren-Oubaali / ITV4 Saturday 2am
For us hardcore/nerds.... Two interesting fights without the main event.
Badou Jack (4/7 fav) went from looking two-bob - after getting chinned in a round - to coming back to prove it was an anomaly and over and over again prove he's world-class. However, at 35, coming off several years off tough fights and travelling the world he might not get away with this one. Marcus Browne (13/8 dog) is young, unbeaten, unexposed, a former top amateur and confident. He looks swift and has a noticeable clump.
Browne - 13/8 / 10/3 Stoppage.
Warren-Oubaali for the WBC Bantam title - Oubaali (1/3 fav) is a big favourite over the experienced American, which surprised me a little. Warren (3/1 dog) has fought at a much higher level (pro's) and obviously enjoys the home advantage. Oubaali beat him at the Olympics but it was razor thin close - 19-18. Warren's two defeats have been by SD to proven world level performers.
At 3/1 with Vegas judges Warren has enough positives at that price (20-1 draw).

Can I just say Browne was exposed by Kalajdzic and should have lost that fight. In saying that, this fight is a very good match up. I see Jack breaking Browne down late.
Oubaali has some decent names on his record, although most were past their best when he fought them, so his power is a little hard to judge. Warren's only loses have been very close on points, and a case could be made that he won or drew at the very least both of them. His biggest achilles is his power. If he can't get Oubaali's respect he may be in trouble. I've actually got Warren winning this, in another nip and tuck battle.

This one's just a matter of whether it'll be a decision or a knockout.

Ruiz making an unnecessary long fight winning 5th round by being the only one trying to win.

Ruiz wins 6th by just moving forward and throwing punches. He should cut the ring off better.
