Picks

"What a fun fight for both of these guys," Erick Nicksick, coach at Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas, told ESPN. "Edwards is that steady-as-you-go guy. He's efficient. I feel like he's just always there in your face, always putting on that constant pressure. ... Belal Muhammad gets better every fight you see him. He's a problem. You're looking at a guy constantly winning these hard-fought decisions. Can he keep that same pace for five rounds?"
