Farooq vs. Castillo
Kash Farooq, DEC
Castillo's record is padded as **** and he lost his only legit fights. What is the point of building a record like that when it's gonna get you mauled by real G's down the line?

Price vs. Grande

Predictions: 6 of 7 Winners, 3 Perfect, 405 Points   |   60th Place

Buatsi vs. Bolotniks
Joshua Buatsi, TKO, R5
Joshua Buatsi is one of the most promising British prospects right now and I've every reason to believe that he'll keep the hype train going in this fight.

McKinson vs. Runowski
Michael McKinson, DEC
Michael McKinson is one brave guy to wear a Portsmouth shirt!

Ford vs. Bellotti
Reece Bellotti, TKO, R6
I'm surprised Reece Bellotti is the underdog in this one. He's KO's some respectable guys and he's also got the home judges to fall back on if he needs them.

Don't give Castillo too much ****. In fact he deserves a HUGE amount of credit and respect.
Why?
The man is completely deaf and cannot speak a word either!! He also is not able to learn International sign language, they don't offer much courses in the Mexican slums! He and his coach have developed their own system of signs and facial expressions to communicate.

How ****** crazy is that!!!???!

So yeah, Castillo can wack as much journeymen as he wants!!!

2 fights on YouTube. A potential cracker and, for me the most evenly matched fight on the card, young US prospect Ray Ford coming off a disappointing draw faces former Commonwealth Champ and decent puncher Reece Bellotti.  Has potential to be a

Bodacious New Predictions

Predictions: 6 of 6 Winners, 2 Perfect, 350 Points   |   Tied for 79th

McKinson vs. Runowski
I adopt Michael McKinson at -1600. He has an exotic facebuster. McKinson won't capture the underdog.

Cordina vs. Hernandez
I favor Joe Cordina at -2000. He has a quixotic anaconda. Cordina won't penetrate the cycle.

Barrett vs. Simion
I love Zelfa Barrett at -2400. He has a tremendous kouchi gari and a wondrous character and also a yucky reverse side kick. Barrett could block the cutman.

Price vs. Grande
I love Hopey Price at -3000. He has a gifted spinning back fist and a kooky character. Price won't unsettle the rival. Guaranteed!

Ford vs. Bellotti
I like Raymond Ford at -250. He has a radioactive takedown and a fancy tsuri-dashi. Ford isn't about to boil the underdog. Winter is coming!

Buatsi vs. Bolotniks
I fancy Joshua Buatsi at -700. He has a fabulous ankle lock. Buatsi can undermine the humiliating defeat.

mckinson is so quickly becoming one of my favorite boxers on the planet. blurs the line between conservative technique and wild power but he never appears dangerous until the opponent is absolutely wobbled. love his style. pretty, never boring, and always firm!

Yeah, he's definitely got Talent and he's put himself among Britain's best Welters, could challenge European too.
But only having 2KOS in 21 wins doesn't look great. 
I think he's going to struggle to get big fights because he's got an awkward style too!
