Yoel Romero, TKO, R2
Polizzi is good. But I don't think he brings anything Romero hasn't seen already. His striking is slow and predictable, and I think that's a terrible feat to own against even this version of Yoel.

Alex Polizzi, DEC
Romero is 45 and Polizzi can wrestle. + a quick turn around for Polizzi.
What is Romero gonna do other than throw 3 punches a round on the feet? POLIZZI ‼️❕️

Cheick Kongo, TKO, R1
Odds should never be like this at Heavyweight, I'd be betting on Kongo for sure.
Romero vs. Polizzi
Alex Polizzi, DEC
Yoel "The Statue" Romero will lose another decision by inactivity
Gallon vs. Brander
Davy Gallon, TKO, R1
Brander got KO'd with a toe hold, not sure how that works
Larkin vs. Stewart
Lorenz Larkin, DEC
mismatch
Bertaud vs. Sadura
Katarzyna Sadura, SUB, R1
Tossup, should be exciting

Katarzyna Sadura, DEC
I’m hammering Sadura here. I think Bertaud is a bit better than her record shows but she’s 37 years old and hasn’t fought as good of competition as Sadura. Sadura looked pretty good in her last fight and she’s a threat both on the feet and the ground. I have Sadura at -105.

"It's not like Davis dominated Yoel either."
Did we not watch the same fight or let me guess you didn't watch the fight, but you saw it was a split decision so you think it is close?
The judges gave it to Phil Davis 30-27, 29-28 Romero(completely bias scorecard.) And a 30-26 Phil Davis. Phil Davis was never in any trouble and Romero did NOT make the fight close at all.

I never said it was close, I said Phil didn't dominate Yoel, and I stand by that. The most dominant round Phil had was the third when he managed to impose his will on Romero and outwrestle him, the previous two rounds were low-output KB rounds, which, though clearly edged by Phil, were not dominant displays of striking prowess.
You can beat someone clearly without dominating them, it ain't that deep.
