I'm going to get back to my predictions this weekend, finally. Anyway, early leans are Gane, as many of you know I'm not a massive fan of him, but as much as I love bam bam, and the shoey's after the fights, I just don't see him catching Gane. The thing is about Tai his success comes from fighters that are willing to brawl, a bit like the Lewis fight. However, Gane isn't going to stand in front of him, and instead will look to tough Tai, and then get out of there.
So, my favourite of the weekend would be Gane, and by the looks of the odds 1.18 at my bookie, they agree. I'm not saying there isn't a chance, and I'll definitely be cheering on Tai, but I think it's probably the most logical bet of the weekend.
There is no doubt that Tai Tuivasa is a good fighter, but to be honest, if I look at his body, I think he is going to move slower than a fighter should be able to move, which is somewhat of a concern. So based on that I am also going to say that Gane might have the edge.
However, if someone tells me that Tai Tuivasa doesn't stand a chance of winning, I will not be able to accept this opinion. At some point, I think this will come down to a very close fight, and Gane will do everything to take this fight as far as he can. His goal would be to make his opponent as tired as possible.
