Tye Fields. The great White hype, or great White hope? Tye is several things, he's bigger than the biggest Klitschko, he's a likeable guy both pre & post fight in his message, he's big, did I mention the Size here yet? He's something of a Paul Williams at Heavyweight. Prolly just about the highest Punch-Volume of any1 in the H.weight Top-100 in fact. But he's hitable, as his next Sliped Punch might very well be his first, his Chin is at best unproven to me, and has looked dented at times, and his Voltage stands less Tall than his stature does.

SOooooooo, I was gonna go fish, and try to hook this u.dog (Koval; who does have some righty Power). Koval is at a Career high in Weight (only up 1 lb. from his last bout); but he's not looked good north of 255-260 (he's now 277). So I'll stick to Tye, who has added about 10 lbs. of good, ripped Weight (surprisingly, & I'm not sure how he did this, as he's been big for years, but never big & cut). & the UP.

The so-called "Fourm-Guide" shows me a nearly even fight in the Headliner. Clottey has the Experience edge, prolly a Power edge as well. But S.Al is a Lefty. I'm seeing a Distance fight, as Josh has had 5 of those in a row, and it may take some time to fig' out this Lefty, as getting this bout is a huge Career break for SAl. UP on tis one as well.

I like UA on Friday nite, & I'm taking the LOW on the Hide fight.

GLA & Merry Christamas!!!

I'm already against yah on the Urbano play. But I was toying w/ this G'vich play. Interesting that he's listed as a Righty, but Mr. Houston says he's a Lefty. I'll try it. Count me in on this upset, & the LOW.

Merry X-mas all!!!
