The movement of Al-Selwady is giving Hardwick some trouble. If Al-Selwady can not tire and keep the movement, he might be able to just pick him apart and maybe even knock him out. Otherwise, Hardwick will find his shots

I see what I see and I’m not afraid to make risky picks and go against the crowd and the odds. When I’m wrong I’m wrong I don’t care, but I’m always pretty confident in my picks for the most part I watch as much film as I can between work
