I have a feeling Mo is being a touch overrated.

Jerome is being way overrated given his recent form. Amada is coming of a JD loss to a healthy Sefo, and a Japan GP tournament win. LeBanner is coming off a very poor showing against Botha in which he looked like he had little power.....and Hiromi has a decent jaw.

Remy I feel is being a little underrated here. He has done well against everyone he has fought this year, and last....his chance is higer than 25% or whatever it is they have given him.

Interesting to see what the locals there think though.

I have to agree with the JLB prediction being a bit too much positive thinking after his most recent performance. Come to think of it, Amada is the best K-1 fighter LeBanner will have faced since Hoost...

Ray vs Musashi is surprisingly close, but then Musashi has been on quite a winning streak other than his loss ( JD ) to Remy in the finals of last years Grand Prix.
