Prediction Comments

Predictions: 2 of 5 Winners, 0 Perfect, 130 Points   |   Tied for 857th

Campbell vs. Duncan
Charlie Campbell, TKO, R1
This should be a fun one, both guys are strikers that lack a ground game so there should be some fireworks. I favour Campbell because his high (if not elite) level leg kicks will put Duncan in some trouble. Someone should get out of this fight with a contract.

Ross vs. Salvador
Shannon Ross, TKO, R2
None of these guys have the level for the big leagues, but I think they will bring on the show. Vinicius likes to taunt the oponent and could get a highlight reel ko, but I will favor Ross who to me is the better striker

Goff vs. Smotritsky
Billy Goff, TKO, R2
I am divided on this one, with my brain telling me to pick Smotritsky and my heart to pick Goff. I find Shimon as a more complete guy and there is a rather big chance he chins Goff. But Goff is courage personified, he never gives up and will try everything to escape a difficult situation. I will favour Goff´s resilience in this case.

Cortes-Acosta vs. Suzart
Waldo Cortes-Acosta, TKO, R2
This one should be an easy guess, Suzart will go for the 1st round KO as he has no cardio. His Ares Fc tittle win against a short time replacement was something rough to watch. Waldo has dealt with this countless times including during his win over Thomas Petersen, a prospect a rate higher than Suzart. Waldo will likely play the smart game and Ko Suzart when he eventually gasses out

Marshall vs. Matthews
Connor Matthews, DEC
Both these guys have faced bad competition so it´s difficult to tell how well will they fare. I would normally go for Marshall because of his previous oponents, but Matthews has shown a lot of dominance in his performances and he is an interesting underdog to pick

Waldo Cortes has everything a heavyweight should have, heavy hands, good timing, good reaction, he just needs to fix the tdd in which I see him progressing, I expect him to be in the top 15.

@Kelvin yeah whoever brings up the 0-1 loss is a idiot who haven't done research, Pico was 0-1 because he faced Ray Cooper III for his pro debut.

 No shame in losing that, seems like a lot of people are high on Goff def gotta watch some film.

Hmm interesting. I get the Waldo line and I think goff is really good but -240 is kinda steep. He is awesome but makes a lot of mistakes

Makes sense for Goff since Shimon looked so bad in his last contender series appearance, but yeah, I don't know if I'd pay -240 for him. Maybe the under if anything.

You think there will be more finishes on this one after what happened last week?  Maybe Dana is going to give a crazy pep talk to these guys before they come out?
