    Default 12 (13) predictions on upcoming fights

    I felt robust and cocky after successfully predicting several fights in a row (even calling the round in the Gatti-Baldomir fight and also predicting a draw) . But then I was brought back to earth with my ill-advised prediction on the Briggs-Sultan disaster in which “The Cannon” shot blanks. I now undertake an effort at redemption by making twelve “tough” predictions. Call it hubris, chutzpah, audacity or just plain delusional, but this is how I see them playing out.

    * Savarese -Holyfield: Holyfield by TD. The “Dream” continues. Lou is done.

    * Sturm - Alcoba: Sturm by stoppage. Sturm is back. Who is Alcoba?

    * Povetkin - Donald: Povetkin by decision. Potvetkin on a roll.

    * Botha - Mirovic: Stange matchup.Mirovic by stoppage. Botha out since 2002; too long, But Mirovic no great shakes. Maybe Botha knows something.

    * Hanshaw-Jones: Jones by decision. Jones well rested and ready to roll.

    * Brewster - Klitschko: Wladimir by stoppage. Savage redemption.

    * Darchinyan-Donaire: Vic by stoppage. Donaire not bad, but Vic is a monster.

    * Simms-Alcine: Simms by decision. Alcine very good; Simms even better. Tough one to call.

    * Hopkins-Wright: Wright by decision. Jabs and defense too much. A draw is a distinct possibility. If “Winky” wins, he has great shot at the Hall of Fame.

    * Baldomir - Forrest: Baldomir by decision. Carlos is no Ike Quartey.

    * Diaz - Morales: Diaz by stoppage. Morales could well be done. Diaz a great amateur with a great pro record.

    * Vargas - Mayorga: Mayorga by stoppage. Interesting and tough to call. Both might be shot. Vargas has weakened himself by losing weight. A street fight looms. If Mayorga wins, he does it early.

    *And a very tough thirteenth: Williams over Margarito by decision

    I'd probably favor Vargas over Mayorga

    Is Hanshaw good enough to beat this version of Jones? I don't know too much about him, he didn't impress me that much when I saw him on Shobox versus Mendy.

    Right now I'm going with Margarito by stoppage.

    Right. I felt tentative on each of those. Donald usually goes the distance. I'm counting oon Vargas being too fat. I just saw him in a movie (good one, too) in which he appeared tpo be well over 200.
    I know quite a bit about Diaz and that's why I'm gouing with him. He has a very good record. Still, Morales pride may prevail. Hopkinks =Wright is about as close a fight as I can call. I was tempted to call it ba draw as I did on Taylor-Wright. Interesting matchup to say the least, but it could well be a snooooozer.

    I think Winky was always a problem for a low punch output guy like HOpkins. I can't really see Bernard winning in all truth. Vargas-Mayorga could go either way, they are both shot. I can't see MOrrales winning. I think Diaz will destroy him, and prove that PAcquaio isn't all that.

    pretty much agree on most...I think Vargas plays it smart with Ricardo and wins a late round KO....and I just don't see Hopkins getting out slicked by wright, but a draw is a definate possibility....I really want to see that fight, but I don't want to pay for it.
