I think a lot of peple think Erceg can do well. My thing is can Erceg avoid the grappling. Pantoja's ability to take the back is insane so it's possible he could end it quick and easy. I think the first round will tell us a lot but if Erceg can keep him away and standing he's got a pretty got shot at winning.Not by me. Pantoja should definitely be the favourite but Erceg is a live dog with nothing to lose.
Crazy fight imo. I don’t think anyone is underestimating Erceg. Like I haven’t seen a single person say Pantoja is way better and will smash easily. (Which is totally a possibility too)
+200 is much smaller underdog than I thought he'd bedropped some $$ on erceg at +200
have a feeling he finds pantoja's chin with his lenght and straight punches
dropped some $$ on erceg at +200

I don’t know. I think a lot of people got impressed with the Schnell fight and now think Erceg is a ko artist. He has a grand total of 2 ko wins. He certainly looks good and is skilled, but his lack of experience at the top level makes Pantoja a clear favourite. Plus, he has never fought past the third round.
Erceg is less than a 2-1 underdog. How is he being underestimated?Pantoja's mental toughness is one of his better attributes, we all know that, and fighting in the main event of his home country will probably enhance that, but he also has a habit of getting into sloppy striking exchanges and is facing a bigger, more calculated guy.
Very good chance of an upset this weekend. Astroboy is no joke and might have his way for 5 rounds, if not find a finish.
That is all. Feel free to bump this thread if it blows up in my face.

Erzeck has so little aura and charisma it's crazy.
He's like manlet Ryan Hall.
