As much as I like Zombie, I think Max boxes his head off. Aljo vs O’Malley is an interesting stylistic matchup. Hope we get a few rounds in that one regardless of the result.

Yeah that's what it's looking like. The fight vs Volk was tough to watch as a fan. I think Max vs Topuria would be more fun, but they might be saving him for a possible title shot.

Agreed, on paper Aljo should just backpack him to a UD but hoping it's more exciting than that

What'd you think of these two fights? The Max fight was surprising in that Zombie seemed to rock him a few times. It was more competitive than expected for me. The Aljo fight was just a total shocker. I didn't expect O'Malley to win, much less TKO Aljo. I'm interested to see how O'Malley does as champ now though.
