[TitoFan]

Whoa... a bit heavy on British fighters. I'll have to brush up on them.

Ok, so the commentary's working good for Big J... so I'm gonna continue giving it a go.

Batyrgaziev by UD - A star in the making, but facing a seasoned pro in Luces.
Seitz by TKO-6 - Steve's first time in Germany will be a short one.
Braithwaite by UD - No draw this time around.
Chamberlain by TKO-9 - Lawal lumbers around too much. Isaac is slicker and will get to him late.
Greene by TKO-10 - Not too impressed with videos of Gilley.
McGrail by UD - Mendoza's durable, but McGrail will thoroughly outbox him.
Fiaz by UD - Bellotti's dangerous, but Fiaz will outbox him for the win.
Catterall by TKO-11 - Linares is little more than a name by now.
Rocha by UD - Rocha clearly superior.

@Big J please get your predictions in for this week before midnight wednesday uk time to avoid the late picks penatly

[Master]

Jonathan Gonzalez UD
Aleksei Papin KO4
Justis Huni UD
Eduardo Hernandez KO8
Fiodor Czerkaszyn UD
Martin Bakole KO9
Fabio Wardley KO7
Jon Miguez UD
Japhethlee Llamido UD

[TitoFan]

Gonzalez by UD - In Zapata's backyard, but Gonzalez's quality should prevail.
Papin by TKO-8 - Asbarov lumbers around a lot. Papin should get to him late.
Tabiti by UD - Andrew the better boxer, more experienced.
Foster by UD - Hernandez is dangerous, but if Foster can survive the early rounds it should be a boxing lesson.
Czerkaszyn by UD - Too much difference in class at this point.
Bakole by TKO-6 - Old man Takam is on his last legs in boxing.
Wardley by TKO-7 - Tough one to predict, but I'll go with experience.
Weiss by SD - Home field advantage. Don't see much different in this fight from the first.
Llamido by UD - Wide difference in levels.

[Big J]

That Santillan pick from Master needs more appreciation
I mean I did have a slight niggling & said it would be tougher than expected
But Santillan has never looked like that before
Total beatdown
Rocha was being pushed towards a level he was able to compete at & Santillan took the opportunity to showcase a more aggressive side

Round 4 picks

Jonathan Gonzalez UD, Aleksei Papin KO7, Justis Huni UD, O'Shaquie Foster UD, Fiodor Czerkaszyn UD, Martin Bakole UD, Fabio Wardley KO6, Jordy Weiss SD, Japhethlee Llamido UD
Gonzalez is too slick & he’s having a career revival at 108
Papin is pretty good, he should be more active
Huni is a real talent, if he can stay injury free
Foster all day, unless they rob him
Czerkaszyn had all his momentum slowed after his last fight, this win will get him back on track
Bakole needs to look good
Wardley gets it done mid rounds after almost getting stopped early
Weiss at home gets the nod from the judges
Llamido will dominate veteran Doheny
