GPP Fight To Target: Baeza vs Williams
Miguel Baeza is a dangerous dude. He's long and powerful with dynamic strikes. His main flaw is a shaky chin. Khaos Williams is slick boxer with death touch power. One of these gentlemen is going to sleep. Baeza may have the edge for me with the sneaky BJJ he has in his back pocket.
Leverage Play: Kennedy Nzchukwu
Kennedy is a bit of a post-hype sleeper. He failed to live up to the hype as a rare physical talent.

Alvey is as stationary as they come. Kennedy is the opposite of that.
