i think mike perez +390 could be a bad line in the eight man tournament. the fight is in breidis hometown of riva, latvia, but if you look at showtimes 168 super six there were nuetral judges in the tournament and im assuming that will be the case in latvia. perez has a stellar lhw amatuer background and also a win over luis ortiz at hw. his career was derailed after he permanently ruined magomed and there are other boxers such as mancini, ruelas and eubank who claimed they were never the same after they killed or crippled an opponent.
here is mike perezs two year transformation and it appears that he has moved on with his life if the abduslamov fight had a negative effect on his boxing career

if the cut to 200 has not adversly affected mikes output and punch resistance and there is nuetral judging he could be a very live dog here
I watched the Biscak fight live (his last fight), really wish we got to see more of him there or at least another outing before this fight. I like Perez but I don't think I can put money on him without seeing much of him over the past 2 years. Hearn talked about getting him another fight ASAP after the Biscak fight ended so early but I guess they couldn't find anyone who wanted the fight.
Will see what training videos I can find on Perez from recently. When I done a breakdown of the Huck vs Briedis fight I watched all of Briedis past fights and very much underrated him, I was thoroughly surprised by his ability to box as well as brawl, he shut out Huck in basically every round albeit Huck is a rough, tough brawler type and not a superbly technical boxer. If we had just seen a few more rounds in that Biscak fight or one more fight there would be a lot of questions answered.
you can make a case that marco is shopworn as hes had a lot of wars.
regardless, +390 i cant pass that up especially with nuetral judging. as a heavweight perez had skills, power and punch resitance, you can see that. if he can bring it down to cruiser where he fought in the amatuers hes going to be a problem for any 200 pounder.
Huck is going to get absolutely school.

Usyk probably gonna piece him up, but 11-1 on him looks like it might be worth throwing away a few bucks Huck, imo. Will wait for props though, maybe there's something better to play, passing for now. Fight is still awhile away, maybe Huck jumps even more.
Polish guy, whose name I can't spell for the life of me, against Gassiev might be worth a look. Polish dude pretty old/washed now though. Hard for me to play these juiced up favorites w/o having props as an alternative yet.
Wouldnt bet him at 20-1 tbh, Huck is done. Doesn't have the footspeed anymore.. Generally looked awful against Breidis
Huck is good if he's against other hookers i mean.. he's still tough. But against boxers with footwork i don't think he has any chance anymore.
Yeah he isn't the same guy anymore. Tournament aside, one fight I would like to see is Huck vs Kudryashov, a winnable fight for him style wise and could be very entertaining.
Yeah see that's a winnable fight.. Immobile fighter who throws heavy hooks and like the pocket. Would be a banger. Still think Kud probably would put him out down the stretch.
Is the tournament lose one and youre out?
