I'm thinking,,,
Zhang beats Wilder
Hrgovic beats Dubois
Sheeraz beats Williams
Ball beats Ford
Richards (probably) beats Hutchinson
And then for the main event... Bivol beats Beterbiev
Zhang and Wilder is a tough one to call, I think Zhang likely beats him up, but both men are there to be hit. Can definitely see Wilder landing some big bombs and stopping him. sZhang beats Wilder
Hrgovic beats Dubois
Sheeraz beats Williams
Ball beats Ford
Richards (probably) beats Hutchinson
And then for the main event... Bivol beats Beterbiev
t or bust for both of them as wellHrgovic vs Dubois is the only fight on this card I don't think is particularly close to a 50/50. Hrgovic will beat him up and stop him
Sheeraz I'd favour against Ammo, who's been a bit patchy and inactive. Sheeraz has an awesome jab that I think will win him the fight
I'm picking Ford against Ball. He was winning his last fight comfortably on a fair scorecard, but still got the KO it turned out he needed. He showed some real grit there and I give him the slight edge. This will be Fight of the Night, no doubt - absolute fireworks
Hutchinson hasn't fought anyone, and Richards isn't elite. Tough to call this one, would default to Richards like you
I think Beterbiev will stop Bivol, but wouldn't be shocked if I'm totally wrong and he loses every round. Canelo did have some success against Bivol countering him, though not enough to come anywhere close to winning many rounds or hurting him, and Bivol clearly really struggles with accuracy when he ups his volume, this was super clear in his last fight. Beterbiev is a really clever boxer, he cuts the ring off beautifully, can counter-punch as well as anyone and even if he's not hitting you clean, he'll hurt you. Bivol laughed off Canelo's arm punches but it won't be the same when Beterbiev is trying to punch through him. Maybe his footwork is good enough to stay out of harms way and jab his way to a boring win, but I fancy Beterbiev to stop him late

I hope Garcia gets absolutely battered in his fight with Haney
What is going on with him?! There’s being a bit of a dick to promote the fight, mind games etc, but his fully losing the plot. Really hope he gets the help he needs…Amirhussain said:

He definitely looks unwell to me too. I know many will disagree, but I actually feel a bit sorry for him.tuscaneer said:

Did he miss the weight?
3lb over with a half a million quid penalty...... For every single lb!!!!!Edited by Amirhussain on Saturday 20th April 17:03

That was a bet he made with Haney, He’ll have to pay a separate fine to the New York State athletic commission! Lost out on the title too.
If he wins though it will be worth it as he will make up the money in subsequent fights - his star will be right up there again. And I guess they think that is his only chance going in against Haney who has the ability to inflate to 165 by ring walk time.Edited by Amirhussain on Saturday 20th April 17:03
I still think Haney wins though.

t yeah of course!! ... And the small matter of he can't win the title either.... What a tit!tuscaneer said:
Oh st yeah of course!! ... And the small matter of he can't win the title either.... What a tit!
Does he even want to be a champion? Seems like DAZN are paying him circa $30m for the fight (assuming it goes well on PPV). If he loses, he can tell his fans he was 'weight drained' and he moves up to 147 and calls out Crawford or Spence or maybe a youtuber.t yeah of course!! ... And the small matter of he can't win the title either.... What a tit!Also Dan Rafael is calling BS on the $500 per lb story. He says Garcia is paying $600k + 2% of profit over a certain PPV threshold.

Haney will wipe the floor with Garcia
It won't even be close imho
Betting market agrees. Hard to make a case for Garcia... unless he catches him something like his trademark left hook, and even then I think Haney would still win. Will still watch it though on Youtube in the morning.It won't even be close imho

That can be a pain tbh. I usually do a search on youtube for something like "garcia haney full", and then set the filter to the last hour, and maybe add a "-conference" to avoid any post fight conference. Or if I am really bothered, I just get my wife to do the search and tell me when she has it
