I'm glad you speak for the entire world's population Hyrm.  It's probably the best fight they can set up for DJ against someone in his own weightclass without having a rematch.

Prediction: wrong Shevchenko   wrong Decision  

He would get the same viewers vs TJ. TJ was not a money fight and Borg is the rightful contender. He will pull about 125 either way.

^I watched the fight where Nunes was nearly gassed out in the 3rd round (the round you ironically picked this time) and about to get finished had there been 2 extra rounds. Plus Nunes needed TD's to win, if she did nothing but stand with Valentina she would lose for sure.

Prediction: correct Nunes   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

i'm sure everyone is thinking that amanda will gas after r2 and just give away 3-5, but i'll go against the grain and say that she has fixed the holes in her game that led to her being taken down in their first fight. more power, more aggression. she finds a finish this time.

Prediction: wrong Shevchenko   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 5  

With Nunes looking like a terror....she has a stamina problem. Zingano exposed it and Valentina exposed it. I just can see Amanda changing these issues . Valentina is the opposite and unless Nunes has fixed her stamina issue. We should get a new woman's champion tonight.

Prediction: wrong Shevchenko   wrong Decision  

Like anyone fighting Nunes Shevchenko will need to survive the early onslaught. Amanda has gassed in many of her fights and will struggle rd 3 and beyond  (if it goes that long). From that point Shevchenko takes over winning the last 3 rounds or getting a late finish.

Also Amanda gassing I don't believe is a question of lack of conditioning but a question of pacing and how she chooses to expend energy. I think her high pacing and energy expenditure is what makes her so dominant in the early rounds. Trying to correct it could alter her entire fighting style.
