Beterbiev v Bivol 2 - The greatest Boxing card ever!

[Alpha]

Parker's going to become a two-time champ. As impressive as Dubois recent form has been, he's a very paint by numbers fighter, prone to frustration. Parker is a different fighter under Lockhart & Lee. Parker will box smartly early to avoid Dubois early offense, make him miss and use movement to keep him resetting, clinch, feint and let off rapid fire 2-3 punch combo's. Parker needs to be the boss and break Daniel's mentality. Andy Lee will have a perfect game plan to frustrate Dubois and I see a clear decision for Parker, possibly even a late KO.

I think they should have revisited the Cordina fight for Stevenson.

The Beterbiev/ Bivol rematch had to happen, although I think the Benavidez/ Morrell fight is the best fight signed in the division.

Adames and Sheeraz both avoided the callouts from Alimkhanuly. I hope the winner unifies with him.

I like that Ortiz has been linked to tough fight after tough fight, even if they didn't all come off. He's in a division where his opposition are happy to oblige.

I think Zhang/ Kabayel will be a brutal war for as long as it goes. As crazy as it sounds I think Kabayel might get a late KO.

I think Buatsi/ Smith will be competitive. Buatsi should take a decision. The winner goes into the mix with the Beterbiev/ Bivol and Benavidez/ Morrell winners.

The winner of the Kabayel Zhang fight should automatically get a title shot. I know Kabayel is tough with a running motor while Zhang is a more traditional heavyweight in punches per round. I'm leaning Kabayel right now but this a difficult one to call because Zhang has so much power, and it's difficult to calculate how much impact it will have on Kabayel.

Parker by UD
Sheeraz by KO
Ortiz Jr. by UD
Stevenson by UD
Zhang by KO

Just cancelled a full morning and early afternoon appointments on Saturday. This is the self-sabotaging depths boxing finds me in to simply enjoy a decent card now . Also on the plus side I have yet to hear Turki talk about some mid card concert but there is still time. Being completely honest the only fight I feel 100 percent certain is Sheeraz over Adames. Also think that of either Bivol or Beterbiev making better adjustments that it is Bivol. I think he gets the better of Beterbiev this time. Weight and bulk on Parker come weigh in may say everything.

floyd schofield didn't show up for the grand arrivals

[The Six Four]

Stevenson's momentum is at an all-time low, and at this point, they might as well cancel his fight rather than scramble for a last-minute replacement. Rumors are swirling—everything from possible poisoning to weight-cutting struggles to the BBBoC blocking Schofield from competing. Just another wild day in the unpredictable world of boxing.

If the fight does get canceled, hopefully, that means the full card won’t drag on for too long. But knowing how these events go, they'll probably fill the gap with a live performance—when all fans really want is more action in the ring.

Bivol Pts possibly SD
Dubois/Parker looks like it’s off
Stevenson RSF 8
Sheeraz UD
Ortiz Jr TKO 11 - Great fight!
Zhang TKO 8
Smith Pts. Not confident on this one. Used to big on Smith , but disappointed in him lately. Especially the old “I don’t want to make excuses,but……..and then roll off a load of excuses”
