I Curtis is trying to stand more after the fight with volkov, gas tank and not being "boring" finally getting to him.
Volk, schev, lawler, haqparast, merab, blaydes those are a few of my pics.
Valentina will do what people are expecting Murphy to do, only better. Valentina's sense of humor will prevail.
Everything Diaz is saying publicly is for the purpose of giving himself a built in excuse if he loses. It's always someone else's fault, everyone and everything is against him, he's treated so unfairly, he's had it so hard in the past, present, and will have it so hard in the future. I still can't fathom why so many people can't see this, as it is right there every time he opens his mouth.
Weasle do you think Diaz might do a 2021 version of Oliver McCall v Lewis in 97?
Watching this way after the fights happened, the volk vs Ortega prediction is spookily accurate. Even predicted guillotine and triangle attempts
Dont know about the tripple jab tko by murphy in the first. Beside that, nice piks
I’m hopeful on Diaz putting in a good performance. Her would be a great Paul brother fight, and make a killing. After years away, he needs some big paydays. Put together a string of wins, build hype, and cha-ching!
