I'm a fan of OSP but I dont know that his striking is something that can capitalize on Bader's wild hooks. He tends to leave his hands down when he rushes inside with the hooks. Also, is Bader's cardio still suspect because OSP has pretty great cardio. Could start on the feet for first round, but OSP might be able to hold is own in a split decision.
I think if Ross Pearson is just as active as normal, he should be able to outwork Maynard. Lots saying his chin is gone and not that Pearson is super powerful, but the sheer volume of shots should keep Maynard's wrestling at bay.
Really interested in seeing Tavares vs Boetsch. The Barbarian has a great chin but just don't see him able to keep up with Tavares style for the entire fight. As long as Tavares doesn't blow his wad early, gas early he should be able to take control later in the fight.
