#1. Heavyweight: Deontay Wilder vs. Tyrrell Herndon

The Deontay Wilder vs. Tyrrell Herndon bout is a curious case. Were the matchup happening at any other point, it would be an easy Wilder one. However, 'The Bronze Bomber' is no longer who he once was. Record-wise, he is 43-4-1, with 42 stoppages. His punching power is second to none.

His volume is low, as he relies on his timing to land explosive counterpunches in opportune moments. His defense, meanwhile, begins and ends with a low guard and lead arm parries. Everything else relies on his reflexes, which have waned greatly at 39 years old.

Herndon, by comparison, is 24-5, with 15 stoppages. He's a pressure fighter with good volume and combinations. Most of his work comes on the inside, and closing the distance against Wilder can be dangerous. But Herndon has good head movement and a clinch game he uses to wear his foes down.

Wilder has been susceptible to being sapped by constantly clinch work in the past. He is also older and coming off far too many losses. He's lost his edge. In his prime? He'd win. He was a world champion. Now, though? He should retire.

The Prediction: Tyrrell Herndon via unanimous decision
