I really like Emmers as a dog, Askhabov is like 23-0 or something, but he hasn’t fought anyone. Emmers is tough and should have a striking, power and experience advantage. I thought he may have won his fight with Giga, that he lost by split, and that performance has aged well. Biggest concern here is Emmers fight IQ is severely lacking, he’ll look great and then do something stupid and lose or let the fight momentum shift to his opponent. Maybe I’m underestimating the Russian, but I think Emmers is very live.
Old man Miller is worth a look, Hernandez is Rd1 or bust, he’ll look incredible in Rd1 and if doesn’t get the finish he will gas badly and likely get subbed in Rd2 or Rd3. Hernandez seems to look worse every time I see him now, maybe he can get Miller out of there early, but I’ll take the battle tested crafty vet to survive and get the later W.
