Man those odds on the Shavkat/Wonderboy fight are pretty crazy. I think Shavkat takes it, but damn I've never seen Wonderboy be that big of an underdog. And he's coming off of one of his best performances ever.

@rusty he is definitely flawed but his cardio and striking looked much improved in that fight. He showed up in great shape too so he may be making the necessary improvements now that he’s fighting at the highest level

Do you think Wonderboy wins? Volkanovski and Santino De Franco think so. I just feel Shavkat is the best of the new breed of fighters

@RustyTennakoon 
I don't. Just because Shavkat is the future champ in my eyes and so well rounded. But -300ish seems more appropriate. Wonderboy is by far his toughest test yet and Geoff Neal was able to have some success against him

First thought Durden would take this one,but than I felt this will more likely end the same as Durden-Flick fight.

If Durden or Lipski wins it's unlikely I don't make a profit this card.
