[PICK EM CREW]

Ok gentlemen, we got some potentially fantastic fights in the WBSS this week, two clear favourites but also two real live underdogs for my money in Rodriguez and Baranchyk. After last months' one sided beatdown by Rougarou and failure to launch in Donaire vs Tete hopefully we'll see some blistering action on Saturday.

One of the World's top 3 heavyweights returns to action and Wilder will be expected to live up to his reputation as a KO artist with an early finish over the hard hitting and only once beaten Breazeale. Pressure may be on Wilder to one up Joshua by stopping Breazeale before the seventh, but caution would be advised as the Californian has little to lose and is on a KO streak of his own since the Joshua loss back in '16.

Good luck gentlemen and wise picking.
