[PICK EM CREW]

Okay gents... I know, I know... we said we'd try to keep the numbers down.

Nonetheless I think we got a few tasty fights this weekend and I'm figuring we lost one last weekend after Vlasov tested positive for the Rona... had it not been for that we might have been skipping on the lowest ranked of this weeks fights - the HW clash between Breazeale and Wallin - which woulda been a shame I think cos it has the potential to be a real fun fight.

Chilemba - the road warrior - has a greater chance than most would think here, even in Russia. That spoiler's style can really be Krypotonite for a more formulaic style like Fedors even though the Russian ain't without a good deal of technical proficiency himself.

Avanesyan my have fallen short at the highest level but there's no doubt he's a very capable operator and arguably could be the best fighter young Kelly has faced to date... a real chance for us to see what Josh is made of. A good win here and I'd be arguing the kid has to be starting to push for a title shot (probably with the IBF). Favourite he may be but this fight is absolutely not a walkthrough as evdenced by the bookies odds... I for one wouldn't be the slightest surprised by the upset here.

Berchelt Valdez? fkn great fight, can't wait. Miguel is favoured for a reason and his terrifying KO record speaks for itself but whilst he's yet to prove himself at the higher weight Oscars achievements at Feather suggest he could be one of Berchelt's stiffest tests to date.

Either way a quartet of real interesting fights this weekend with plenty of chance on the upsets... if anyone's looking to be the first to score on an x5 this year there's certainly worse chances you could take.

Best of luck gents
