I think @TomLawlor wins a UD here. Hard to KO Fabio.

Tom could take him down and best him up...but Baby Igor is thirsty for another KO..

Good fights. Not sure how Cummings beats Glover after seeing his wrestling vs OSP. Tom will a decision if he fights smart and doesn't get into a sloppy brawl. Can't give the judges any reason to give Maldanado the decision in Brazil.

Cummings will win. He has good cardio and keeps a pace Glover won't be able to keep up with.

$10 bet? I'll take Glover.

Hard one to bet on. Rooting for Cummins. But I think Glover could get a finish here. Especially after watching what he did to OSP.

I think glover is underrated, so to speak, and listening to Shaub talking about glover's wrestling and how tough he is makes this a tough match up which, frankly, makes this interesting....
