I know Josh is the favorite but I thoroughly believe Teo can win this fight!!!!!

Taylor vs. Lopez
Teofimo Lopez, DEC
Will go the distance x1.58 and lopez for x2.37 home court UD

hoping Lopez pulls off the W this weekend. Hasn't looked the best recently but the weight struggles with Josh Taylor could play a factor in this fight. 

if Kynba wins this weekend would like to see a fight with Efe Ajagba or Jonathon Rice think they would both be good match ups but needs to get past Olguin first. 

Bruce Carrington looks good been watching Shu Shu he seems like a fun prospect atm

At one time the take over was fun and cool and sharpe with precision and timing and fast and a nice prospect than he upset loma and I thought Dan this dude is nice. Than he went nuts and delusional and no longer fun but a lot of hate and agony and he been dealing with his wife wanting a divorce and she wouldn’t let him hold his own kid after his last fight but since his first loss which I thought could of been a draw vs kambossa so in my opinion his only loss was iffy and he had some injury as well. Than his return fight he didn’t look nice no more and so he managed to get the win and now he’s about to fight his toughest test no doubt in this division but Taylor is kind of like teofimo cause he was undefeated and nice and running through heads and than he was in a banger like teo is close fight and a lot of people say Taylor was gifted the win and I agree he definitely should have a loss on his record so you got two guys that were both nice. Than both guys started not looking like they was when they were looking nice so this fight is all about who shows up and Taylor is a slight favored and I agree with that 💯 percent and that’s who I am leaning towards as well and he’s my pick to win by decision and Taylor has been a natural bigger guy and this has been his weight class that he dominated until that close gift win he got which he needs to rematch that one after this match but anyways I think both guys want and need a win especially since both were in close fights and not looking like they both were when everyone was talking about both of them and how nice they were at one time. So my pick is Taylor by decision in a close one that might even be a draw or what a lot of people say is a Robbery or gift like when Haney beat loma by decision whenever most people had it 8-4 loma but the judges who actually count and decide the winners picked haney so he won and I think it was close and Haney did good with the body work but I to think loma won as well but my bet was on Haney so glad he got that gift decision and I think this fight also will be a close one and go to the cards for Taylor by decision and the rest of the picks don’t matter cause I don’t think you can bet on them but if you can than they are really easy Xander,Omar,Bruce,Robson,Henery,ja Maine,Damian. So that’s my picks:) also people were paying me for picks so I’m giving you them for free:)

both taylor and teo has looked horrible in their last fight. However, teo's power and ability has not been proven at 140 yet. Taylor SHOULD win on paper but teo has fast twitch counter punching, you can't count him out. Hard to pick one here, since its close to a 50-50 tossup , im rocking with taylor but i could be wrong

I'll say this... I don't think I'm gonna be able to handle it if Man City and Teofimo Lopez win on the same day

Carrington vs. Porozo
I take Bruce Carrington at -4000. He has a genuine kimura and a strong head coach. Carrington is about to damage the cycle.

Conceição vs. Polanco
I trust Robson Conceição at -2000. He has an eccentric brainbuster. Conceição ought to violate the ring announcer.

Zayas vs. Cruz
I take Xander Zayas at -2500. He has an egregious spinning back elbow. Zayas will likely implement the opposition.

Taylor vs. Lopez
I am all over Josh Taylor at -200. He has a faux sleeper slam and a qualified fallaway moonsault slam and also a talented stamina. Taylor shall destroy the cage.

Rosario vs. Rivera
I finger Omar Rosario at -210. He has a wretched anaconda. Rosario can knuckle the rival. Easiest pick of the night!

1 -1? Might be 2 - 0 Taylor 

Who's winning this fight so far, just tuning in?

Every round past the first has been extremely close. Could be 3 - 2 either way.

5-2 teo

Seems Teo is turning the pressure up.
