Hey, good for Cannonier! I was getting ready to feel badly for the guy for doing so much work to overhaul his physique and drop to MW, only to get run over by Branch.  Happy for him.

That's a bad loss for Branch, Doubtful he ever gets a shot at the belt now.

This fight determines weidman's future. If he gets slept here, he's not getting near the strap again. I've picked him, but I certainly hope his defense has tightened up. He can easily outwork Jacare, but he's got to be ready for the fast straight.
