I assume this will be considered an upset. So be it. I was very impressed by Hooker's debut.

Prediction: correct Blanco   correct Decision  

I always pick Blanco and don't know why. 2-4 picking him, but I guess I love the violence.

@skelli, I think Hooker's debut was more impressive due to his opposition more than anything else ... not saying he doesn't have talent, just think that Enty clinging on to the leg like a chipmunk on acid and not letting go ... ever ... kinda played into Hooker's hands so I don't really know just how impressive it was yet.

This fight is all about Maxi, imo ... if he brain-farts - Hooker's got the tools to be dangerous, but otherwise I think Maxi's too good for him at this stage. Especially if he remembers to use ALL his tools. Yes, his wrestling too.

One thing's for sure, Hooker's got the fight IQ and poise that Blanco will never have, so it'll be interesting to see how they clash.

I've taken Blanco three times and he lost those fights. So I picked Ogle and then he beat him. Not sure what to do.
