Walsh has won four in a row coming into his sixth amateur fight meanwhile, Davis is coming off of a loss heading into his PFL amateur debut. With that said, check out our PFL odds <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting/" rel="noopener">series</a> for our Walsh-Davis prediction and pick.</p><p>Biaggio Ali Walsh (Am 4-1) is one of the only amateur fighters that you will see fighting on a big promotion’s main card. That is all due to the fact that he is the great Muhammad Ali’s grandson. He will be looking to follow in the footsteps of his late grandfather, the greatest boxer of all time Muhammad Ali when he goes to battle for his fourth consecutive win with the PFL this Wednesday night against Ed Davis.</p><p>Ed Davis (Am 2-1) on paper is looking like a sacrificial lamb when he steps into his PFL debut to take on the powerhouse that is Biaggio Ali Walsh. Davis is out to prove that he is nobodies stepping stone and that he truly belongs on the PFL roster and to be a part of their future plans in their lightweight division come Wednesday night.</p><p><i><b>Here are the <a href="https://www.betonline.ag/sportsbook/martial-arts/mma/pfl-week-8" rel="noopener">PFL Odds</a>, courtesy of BetOnline. </b></i></p><h2><b>PFL Playoffs Odds: Biaggio Ali Walsh-Ed Davis </b><b>Odds</b></h2><p>Biaggio Ali Walsh: -1100</p><p>Ed Davis: +801</p><p>Over 1.5 Rounds: +200</p><p>Under 1.5 Rounds: -260</p><h2><b>How to Watch Biaggio Ali Walsh vs. Ed Davis</b></h2><p>TV: ESPN</p><p>Stream: ESPN+</p><p>Time: 9:00 p.m. ET/ 6:00 p.m. PT (Main Card)</p><h2>Why Biaggio Ali Walsh Will Win</h2><p>Biaggio Ali Walsh has some big shoes to fill as most have a ton of high hopes for this lightweight prospect. He has looked the part since making his debut during the 2022 PFL Championships knocking out his opponent in just 45 seconds. He has exceptional speed and power in his punches that make him a dangerous fighter for anyone that stands across the cage from him.</p><p>We’ve seen him get taken down and out grappled in his amateur debut but it seems like he certainly has been growing fight by fight. It will almost be a necessity for his opposition to take this fight to the ground but that is much easier said than done when there is firepower coming his way. As long as Walsh can keep this fight on the feet it is essentially his fight to lose.</p><h2>Why Ed Davis Will Win</h2><p>Ed Davis is coming into his PFL debut with some uphill sledding as he has to take on their most prized prospect in Biaggio Ali Walsh. Davis fought most of his time on the New England regional scene when he fought for the New England Fights promotion for each of his first three amateur fights.</p><p>Davis is a striker by trade and is always looking to throw down against his competition as his two amateur wins have come by knockout or TKO. That may not be the best game plan coming in against a heavy-handed striker like Walsh so hopefully he comes looking to mix things up if he wants to get the win come Wednesday night.</p><h2><b>Final Biaggio Ali Walsh-Ed Davis Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Minnesota Timberwolves add depth and athleticism to their second unit while shedding salary in the process.</p><p>This is a minor deal for both teams, but both get exactly what they want.</p><p>New York’s frontcourt is looking solid as ever. Julius Randle, Mitchell Robinson, Obi Toppin and Omari Spellman make them one of the youngest, deepest and most athletic frontcourts in the Eastern Conference.</p><p>The Timberwolves, meanwhile, receive a veteran presence and energy guy on their bench unit.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

There’s some really great stuff that we can do for the world,” Davis told <a href="https://hoopshype.com/2020/06/15/utahs-ed-davis-was-on-fridays-players-call-this-is-why-hes-against-sitting-out/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Alex Kennedy of HoopsHype</a>. “I feel like all of us doing it together and working with the NBA and working with these owners, we can really help out. For me, I want to fight against police brutality. That’s my cause; that’s really what I want to focus on. I hope that when we get down there, we can do that together. So, like I said, I’m all for us playing and I feel like we need to play. I think a lot of these guys know really need to educate themselves on what’s really going to happen if we do take a stand and don’t play.”</blockquote><p>While at first it appeared to be non-star players vying for this cause, the involvement of NBA players like Irving quickly turned that around. Davis noted it’s easy for guys with a platform to appear heroic to the cause and boost their profile while others would likely struggle without a paycheck:</p><blockquote>“It’s easy for a guy like Kyrie [Irving] to say that he’ll give everything back [for social reform], but would he really give everything back? It’s easy for Dwight Howard to say that we don’t need to play when he’s in Atlanta in his $20 million mansion,” said Davis. “But there are other guys on the rosters who need this money to provide for whoever they’re taking care of and things like that. It’s easy for the superstars in the league to say this and how they feel about this and that. But it means a lot more when it comes from the role players and the guys that [aren’t stars]. There are so many different perspectives because there are so many different levels in the NBA. Like I said, it’s so easy for the superstars to say, “Let’s just not play,” and they’re good. But some guys can’t just do that. There are lives on the line and, like I said, generational wealth on the line. These are the hits that we’re going to take if we don’t play.”</blockquote><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-news-league-return-not-in-jeopardy-as-players-discuss-best-way-to-enhance-black-lives-matter-movement/" rel="noopener noreferrer">There is a leaguewide feeling</a> that the NBA season will resume when intended on July 30, but there will have to be a middle ground of understanding for the parties to move forward with Training Camp 2.0. Davis understands all this, especially since teammates Donovan Mitchell and Jordan Clarkson are playing for contracts, but he’s almost 100% sure this season will resume because most players want to play while also helping bring attention to the Black Lives Matter movement.</p><figure class="op-tracker"><iframe><script>  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');  ga('create', 'UA-66147751-16', 'auto');  ga('set', 'campaignSource', 'Facebook');  ga('set', 'campaignMedium', 'Instant Article');  ga('set', 'title', ia_document.title);  ga('send', 'pageview');</script><iframe>    <script type="text/javascript">        window._taboola = window._taboola || [];        _taboola.push({            article: 'auto',            ref_url: 'http://instantarticles.fb.com'        });        !function (e, f, u, i) {            if (!document.getElementById(i)) {                e.async = 1;                e.src = u;                e.id = i;                f.parentNode.insertBefore(e, f);            }        }(document.createElement('script'),            document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0],            'https://cdn.taboola.com/libtrc/clutchpoints-clutchpoints/trk.js',            'tb_loader_script');        if (window.performance) {          if (typeof window.performance.mark == 'function') {            window.performance.mark('tbl_ic');          }        }    </script>    </iframe></iframe></figure></article>    </body></html>
