Ruffy vs Chandler TheWeasle: picks Ruffy · KO/TKO · R1 for Ruffy vs Chandler — upcoming.

Lopes vs Garcia TheWeasle: picks Lopes · KO/TKO · R2 for Lopes vs Garcia — upcoming.

Lopes is far more durable than Garcia, who is too open for his own good, so Lopes weathers a chaotic first and knocks him out in the second.
