Imagine if all 3 of them would lose 
Chances of that is like 1% but it would be
Gonzalez is the liveliest dog out there, Gvozdyk hasn't impressed me that much so far, with that said Gonzalez is pretty reckless and Gvozdyk's strenght suppose to be countering so I guess he should win this.
Hunter probably way too green but I wouldn't mind if he would fukk around and win, he probably won't tho
Loma vs Sosa... Sosa hasn't got much chance on paper...
He should rush Lomachenko like the brawler he is, rough him up, etc... not p*ssyfooting like Roman and Walters did. I guess Loma is dangerous on the counter too but he is even better if the opponent just tentative and doesn't do anything. Sosa should hit him with the kitchen sink, everything... Maidana vs Floyd I style, he shouldn't let this turn into a "boxing" match cause in the moment he gives Lomachenko time to think and to get his game down he is done.
OVerall a solid card, it is meant to market the Ukranian Olympian team but they all got at least solid, decent opponents.

good post breh...wanted to wait until i got in the office to reply
i also think Gvozdyk-Gonzalez is a good LHW match of up and comers..this one to me has prolly the biggest chance of an "upset" happening
Usyk has a bit of the struggle boxing in him, but then I dont think hunter is really that good. I wasn't impressed with his fights on PBC..kinda disappointed considering he's the son of one of the notorious (and troubled) HW spoilers of the 80s-90s: Mike "The Bounty" Hunter...but we will see..but i dont see an upset on that one
I think Sosa is tough enough to last 12 rounds with Lomachenko...he stayed on his feet with Axeman and Fortuna..plus he has power to boot that he carries late..I think he will come to fight..but yeah he can't give Lomachenko any time to think else he will get woefully outclassed
Sosa is tough and has heart so I don't expect him to go out like Walters did just outright quitting, but the difference in skills is just too much imo. Sparring all the time with Farmer and putting in a full camp with dude is nice preparation for dealing with angles and level changes, but Loma is another level beyond that.

What's wrong with the venue?
It ain't the venue itself...it's the choice of the fighter @ the venue...Loma belong at Barclays or Radio Music Hall or some shyt where it's Ukranians/Eastern Europeans or a place with a heavy cac/non-black boxing fanbase...we ain't got nothing for him out here
Folks MIGHT show up when Russ fight here next month though.

Sosa's Promoter: We Don’t Know If Lomachenko is a Great Fighter - Boxing News
Sosa's Promoter: We Don’t Know If Lomachenko is a Great Fighter
By Keith Idec
Russell Peltz is a little taken aback by the predominant perception of the Vasyl Lomachenko-Jason Sosa fight Saturday night.
Lomachenko is a 25-1 favorite over Sosa, the former WBA world super featherweight champion Peltz promotes. Peltz gets the sense it’s as if Sosa might as well not even show up to MGM National Harbor for their HBO “World Championship Boxing” main event in Oxon Hill, Maryland.
“They say we’re not gonna win one second of one round in this fight,” Peltz said during a press conference Thursday. “Some of my closest friends in boxing, both of them, tell me that I’m leading a sacrificial lamb to slaughter.”
The 29-year-old Lomachenko has impressed Peltz by winning world titles in two weight classes by just his seventh professional fight. But Sosa’s promoter isn’t about to label Lomachenko (7-1, 5 KOs) as a great, unbeatable boxer.
“I don’t know if he’s a great fighter or not,” Peltz said. “He’s only had eight pro fights. I’m sure he’s a terrific fighter. But if Mike Tyson had retired after beating Michael Spinks in 1988, we’d be talking about him up there with Joe Louis and Muhammad Ali.
“You can’t rate a fighter until his career is over. You just can’t do it. Last month they were comparing Triple-G to Marvin Hagler. Triple-G’s a terrific fighter. But let’s see what happens at the end of his career because, all of a sudden, he was in a fight [against Daniel Jacobs] and people don’t know how good Triple-G is.”
Peltz offered a reminder Thursday that Sosa (20-1-4, 15 KOs) has occupied comparable positions and performed much better than expected.
The Camden, New Jersey, native drew with a then-unbeaten Nicholas Walters (26-1-1, 21 KOs) in their December 2015 fight in Verona, New York. In his next fight, he overcame a scorecard deficit to record an 11th-round technical knockout against Javier Fortuna (31-1-1, 22 KOs, 1 NC) and won the WBA 130-pound title June 24 in Beijing.
“Jason’s been around the block,” Peltz said. “I can’t remember the last time he was a favorite in a fight. He certainly wasn’t a favorite in the Nicholas Walters fight. He wasn’t a favorite in the Javier Fortuna fight. And from what I read, he was a toss-up fight in Monte Carlo against Stephen Smith [a unanimous-decision win].
“And what’s the worst thing that can happen to Jason Sosa Saturday night? He’s already been knocked out in one round. Just like Jack Dempsey, Max Schmeling, John Henry Lewis, Bob Montgomery, Joey Maxim, ‘Jersey’ Joe Walcott, Floyd Patterson, Sonny Liston, Emile Griffith, Michael Spinks and Ken Norton. And guess what? They’re all in the Hall of Fame. See ya Saturday.”
