this event has a couple hard picks on it...for the most part I feel confident in my picks...the fights that have me worried are
Hammill vs Boetsch-
I have Hammill winning by third round TKO....I am hoping he can tire Boetsch out and finish him of with some GnP...but I dont know..cause I only have limited knowledge of Boetsch...
Tommy Speer vs Anthony Johnson
Tommy choked pretty hard in his debut..haha.
and I think Johnson has looked pretty decent..although he is the udnerdog..I have him winning via rnd 1 TKO....but i am not so sure it will stay that way..haha..
Din Thomas vs Neer
this is another close one for me...cause Neer seems to do better against big names...but he is kind of inconsistent...I think Din should be able to sink in a sub somewhere throughout the fight..I just hope his knee is healed...I have Din by rnd 2 Sub.
your picks and thoughts???....and fights giving you a hard time?

Matt Hamill vs Tim Boetsch is a reletively Easy Fight for me to call, Tim's got Great Wrestling but Matt Hamill's is Olympic Level so I see Matt taking Tim down and Pounding on him but I don't think he finishes him.
Tommy Speer vs Anthony Johnson is also another Easy pick for me because Anthony showed Weak Takedown Defence against Rich Clementi and He's going up against a Powerful Wrestler who can pass a mean guard. So I see Anthony getting mounted then Pounded out in the 2nd Round.
Din Thomas vs Josh Neer will be a close fight, Josh will have a difinative Size advantage but Din has the better Tools so I think he'll be able to get the Unanimous Decision.

Good breakdown hotrodttt, that is pretty much how I see those fights going. I think if anyone is to win by TKO, it would be Tim. Tim is tough and I don't think Matt will be able to finish him. Hamill by UD.
Speer vs. Johnson, I see Speer controlling Johnson the whole fight and either finishing him off with his vicious ground and pound or wrestling his way to a decision. Johnson's only chance at winning this fight is by a flash KO and I don't see that happening.
As for the Din/Neer fight I currently have Din winning by a 2nd round sub, but I could see this fight going to decision as hotrodttt mentioned. Neer does have a good shot at winning this fight.
The fight I'm having trouble with is the Karo/Alves fight. I can see Alves finishing him with strikes, yet I know Karo is tough and I think that will be a hard task for Alves to pull off. No doubt Alves has the ability to stop Karo early, but I just feel that Karo will find a way to negate Alves's striking. So, tentatively I have the safe pick of Karo by UD.

Yeah I think this Fight will definatly be close, Thiago could just Tear his legs up with his vicious Kicks so Karo can't even implement his Throws but I don't think It'll happen. Some people are calling this Fight boring but it definatly won't be with Great Striking from Thiago and Amazing Throws by Karo. I have Karo " Sick Judo Throws " Parisyan via Unanimous Decision.
