I have a hard time picking between them. Regardless, I can't imagine that being a boring fight. It's going to be such a wild fight

Nice. Especially since I have to rewatch it every time they have another fight coming up for years to come. Helps when it's not all 15-25 minute snoozers.

Got to love all the single cell organism ****s on twitter saying "i thought the UFC was gonna overtake boxing but now i know boxing is safe", because the trajectory of one sport rising and one falling can be completely reversed by a poor main event. I swear these fickle ************s say it's the best sport in the world when a good fight happens, then act liike its some niche thing that will never take off when a bad fight happens. Correct me if I'm wrong but when a bad boxing match happens most people don't come to the conclusion that it beckons a sport wide collapse. Anyway why does it always come to a comparison between two sports that fair enough have fan overlap but are still of enough variance to have different demographics. It's either these dumbass boxing pages who only follow heavyweight and lightweight boxing because it's the most popular, or betting accounts who take their puny parlay petulance out on some random fighters.

lol at people worried about an entertaining main event. Edwards didn’t push the pace when he realized the fight was a lock after the first round. I guess I blame him.

Colby coach had the worst gameplan for Colby, planing to have a low output kickboxing match with Leon is an idiots plan, Leon is a way better technical striker who like slower fighter, Colby is a wrestler who use pace as a weapon, why is strategy to fight Leon where he best at???. It worrisome for Colby that he’s coach is praising him for clearly being 4 round down going to the 5th

Think if he was still at ATT, he would of done better because he would of fought to his strengths, and not be delusional with the dumbest gameplan

Colby calling out Wonderboy in the post-fight presser has to be one of the most cowardice **** I've seen in quite a while. Surely he has seen how Shavkat won and knows how Burns and Belal won against Wonderboy and now wants to fight him to get an easy win. So weak

Bryce Mitchell Gameplan was pretty bad also, but at least it was a shorter fight, going forward with your hands down doing no offense  agaist someone like Josh Emmet was dumb gameplan and was asking to get slept, Mitchell should of either shot takedown or kept his distance, don’t know if he would won, But he would of done better

I pick Mitchell, but once the fight started, you can see him getting slept a mile away

Not sure why most counted out Emmet. Bryce's win against Ige wasn't exactly convincing and he's never been known for his defense, rather he more often then not stays at range with kicks before dashing in with straight punches or double legs, an easy way to run in to an overhand. Emmet has power but he also has great timing, sort of like a pale goblin deontay wilder. I think people saw the odds and Emmet's last performances and forgot that those were against Yair and Topuria, both of whom are levels above Mitchell.

Baron Von Rattus I think Mitchell wins only if the opponent doesn't have clear knockout power.

Never got why Trump associated with Colby as a political figure, Colby entire stic is to get people to hate him. And as a politician shouldn’t you want to be like, and Colby a bad look

I don’t care or understand about politic, just always thought that weird
