 With Glory 35 happening this Saturday, who are your picks to win their fights?
The poll covers the Main Card and part of the SuperFight Series.
With 12 fighters in the poll it means ideally we need you guys to choose 6 favorites.
Additionally, who is your pick to take the Heavyweight Contender Tournament?
Please vote and discuss your picks below. |

I'll start off with my picks:
Zack Mwekassa - Vakhitov is the better all-round kickboxer, but I have a gut feeling Mwekassa wins this by KO.
Pavel Zhuravlev - I rate Zhuravlev well above Hameur-Lain, but I wouldn't hate an upset.
Jahfarr Wilnis - Revenge match from 2014, but Wilnis has looked better than Brestovac lately.
Hesdy Gerges - Gerges will redeem himself for being on the wrong end of decisions lately.
Nicholas Wamba - For the simple reason I'm more familiar with him than Mahieddine.
Serhiy Adamchuk - I don't think Jauncey is ready for Adamchuk. I also agree with the bad matchmaking for Jauncey.

Artem Vakhitov - in Russia, they have some good boxers and most of the kickboxers tend to have a good idea of boxing and many sparring sessions with such guys. I don't think that Mwekassa will surprise Vakhitov with anything, but Vakhitov himself have something to offer to Mwekassa.
Pavel Zhuravlev - cuz ... he is Pavel Zhuravlev. I hope he got rid of the curse of the pendant this time.
Jahfarr Wilnis - he is level above Brestovac.
Hesdy Gerges - his style is perfect against Adegbuyi. If he doesn't get caught with something. I just don't wanna see Adegbuyi - Verhoeven III. It makes no sense to me. Wanna see Wilnis/Gerges/Londt take their shot at the title instead of the guys that were already beaten by Rico. And beaten convincingly enough.
I am not familiar with the other guys on the card.

Didn't Benny already win against Gerges? I remember he did. I think the final will be Wilnis vs Benny again, but this time the decision will be correct and Wilnis will win it.

I thought Gerges won round 1 and 3. It will be funny if Benjamin wins the tournament and then they have him fight Rico again... a fight nobody wants to see again. If Wilnis wins then he should get the next shot. If Gerges or Benjamin win then the winner of Londt and Jamal should get the next shot. Gerges has already lost twice with Rico and the last one was decisive. Same with Benjamin. And though I'm a Gerges fan and I think he is better than all Londt, Benjamin and Wilnis, I think he is the easiest matchup for Rico. Doesn't have the boxing or ko power to threaten Rico. |

Josh Jauncey 0 votes (0%) Serhiy Adamchuk 4 votes (17.39%) K1power in cahoots with Glory rigging the vote switching the matchup last minute! I had nothing to do with it!  I think we can write most of those votes up to Jauncey now that he is fighting Baya, but once again I wouldn't exactly coun't Baya out either. |

32 votes by 7 voters in we currently have the following favorites:
Artem Vakhitov - 5 to 1
Pavel Zhuravlev - 5 to 1
Jahfarr Wilnis - 5 to 0
Hesdy Gerges - 5 to 2
Nicholas Wamba - 3 to 0
We can ignore the votes for Jauncey - Adamchuk and assume most people have Jauncey as a favorite against Baya.

I think Pavel is going to finish Zinedine Zidane in the third.
I don't know what happened with Pavel in the last few years, but he losses fights or struggle with opponents that he shouldn't. He used to be a beast many years ago. At some point I thought he is going to become top 3 at HW.

I think Zhuravlev definitely excels at LHW. At HW he occasionally looks a bit hesitant/timid.
In his most recent fight he just focussed too much on landing the 1-hit KO and it went and bit him in the ass.

3 out of 5 favorites were predicted correctly in the poll. 60%, a passing grade  |

You can tell that we're all weird old fans because we always pick Hesdy and he always breaks our hearts.
