So here is the deal. Some players would say putting 19 random things together like this is beyond stupid. In my eyes this is no different then buying a lottery ticket. However, I'm not here to showcase this parlay I just want opinions of people that have knowledge of MMA and Boxing. I'm not concerned with anyone's opinion on my NFL games that I selected I'm more into the thoughts of the fights I have remaining.
Boxing
1. Can Wilder really lose that fight against Siarhei Liakhovic? Wilder seems to be a legit heavyweight and Siarhei Liakhovich has lost his last two fights on top of not having a fight in the last year and half.
2. Nathan Cleverly vs Sergey Kovalev I think this is going to be a really good fight. The only reason I believe Kovalev is favored is because of the knockout power that he posses. But I think Cleverly is more polished fighter. Neither guy has had a real challenge. So both will be giving each other a step up in competition. I honestly see Cleverly keeping his distance and picking Kovalev apart from the outside.
MMA
1. Vinny Magalhaes vs Anthony Perosh - When I look at this fight nothing really jumps out at me with either guy. I honestly just see Vinny being the younger fighter with more upside. Perosh hasnt fought in over over a year and in that fight he was knocked out in seven seconds.
2. Lyoto Machida vs Phil Davis - Could this fight be exactly how the Machida vs Baber was? Machida should be on another level than Davis when it comes to striking. Only chance Davis has here is to look for the takedown and GnP or look for the submission. I think Lyoto's takedown defense is good enough to stop this from happening.
3. Urijah Faber vs Yuri Alcantara- I don't think Yuri has ever fought anybody as good as Faber. I just see Faber grinding this out for a decision.
4. Alistair Overeem vs Travis Browne - I guess the only question is which Overeem will show up? Browne is a very good athlete with solid striking. However, Overeem should be the better striker in this match up. It's Browne's biggest fight ever and if Overeem can win the fight I think he will get a title shot because of how much the UFC has invested in him. Maybe I'm wrong but Overeem should pick Browne apart in the stand up game. I don't see it going to the ground either.
What I want to know from you guys is which fight should I be most concerned about? The football games are whatever, I'm not looking for those opinions I'm just looking from the fights prespective. I know picking favorites isn't always the best idea, but it just came out that way. Cleverly being the only dog out of the remaining fights. So what do you guys think which fight should keep me up at night?
