Ruegg probably best lock than oakile and than pigford. Cutler is a 51/49 fight but I slightly take cutler but they are dam even skill wise and str whatever his name is he is undefeated but he has beat up some bums but as a amature he won 39/49 fights and won some title and also a low grade England belt like cutler so this is a coin flip fight but if I had to pick I would take cutler by decision and a close one.

I remember the strong criticism that Okolie received for his lackluster performance against Journeymans where he embraced more than throwing hard shots, but Lawrence changed for the better and since he won the championship (by KO) it has been good performance after good performance. But I have a feeling that Billiam-Smith is going to give the upset tomorrow, he is a heavy hitter and durable boxer has a good chance to caught Okolie and finish the job if he manages to hurt him considerably

McKinson vs. Morales
I predict Mikey McKinson at -2000. He has an illogical uppercut. McKinson won't guess the cage.
Okolie vs. Billam-Smith
I am all over Lawrence Okolie at -350. He has a qualified liver kick and a lascivious attitude and also a unique side kick to the throat. Okolie shall clinch the opposition.
Ruegg vs. Dodge
I can't get enough of Mace Ruegg at -600. He has a quirky double knife hand block and a sassy double knife hand block. Ruegg will likely seize the cage.
Eggington vs. Pigford
I am taking Joe Pigford at -140. He has a ultimate powerbomb. Pigford won't implement the TV audience.

Is his **** canceled 😞? I got him in one of my parlays and they skipped over his fight but it doesn’t say it’s cancelled anywhere so I don’t know what’s up. Anyone else know what’s up with his fight?

Nice 1 Casual, same picks as me. So glad that Okolie isn't going to be main eventing anymore! Such a horrible style, jab and grab doesn't even describe it! He leaves his long arms out and just d****s himself all over his opponent, the fact that this isn't the 1st fight that he's had multiple point deductions says it all!!!
Actually I lied, I picked Stannard not Cutler!
Good night for upsets by boxing standards, all 3 main event betting underdogs won!!! I'm both happy and a bit gutted about Leigh Wood, he's become 1 of my favourite fighters these past few years and I had him picked to win tonight but I let the doubts creep in this morning and switched it!!!

Sezmaster, I just found out the result of the Ruegg fight. It just finished, took place in an empty Stadium!!! Ha.

Great minds think a like Mikey. I had confidence in McGuigan to prepare CBS to punish a lot of Okolie's grab & foul style. I still wish Taylor didn't burn that bridge with the McGuigan gym because he was clearly flourishing under them.
If Okolie had a good jab I'd appreciate something of his game but his jab is kind of junk and he just holds nonstop and fouls in the clinch. It's the kind of style you can only develop if your the A-side, and even than he's the most point deducted boxer I've seen in a long time. 3 points against Matty, deducted against Cieslek, 2 points now against CBS, etc.

I was waiting for the day when someone would take care of Okolie, just didn't expect it to be CBS. As mentioned above Okolie's sloppy style gets on my nerves, so much so that's it painful to watch his fights. I think Okolie did Matchroom a benefit by leaving, hopefully, no more main events for him although the rematch might be one.
Still think the Aussie Jai Opetaia would beat CBS and Badou (cause of his age) but that's not to take from his win.
