Good stuff mate

[SweetPea]

Supposedly the 27,000 seat arena is close to a sellout, so should be a good-sized crowd?

Any members attending? Mick?

Sky Sports 1, unfortunately for me.

Good work Saddo, must have taken some time for tge colour coded presentation

Anyway, I'm going to stick my neck out and go for Forbes by brutal first round Knockout.

Good one, bro. I especially smiled at your use of the word "brutal" in your prediction.

[CutMeMick]

I wont be there.... Can you believe they wanted 650 dlls. for Ringside seats to that?

I've had the great fortune to have seen ODLH fight in person, so I passed on this fight here.


Here are my picks....

ODLH TKO
Ortiz TKO
Garcia TKO
Jacobs TKO
Castro TKO
Sanchez UD
Paris UD
Wes UD

[HattonTheHammer]

is it me or is steve forbes looking a worrying shade of blue??


To be honest being british we dont get to see too many of the other fighters so cant comment too much

ODLH to take control of the fight through 3-4 and have his man out of there by 8!!!

[superheavyrhun]

Now that my shift rotation has been changed to include an 8am start on a Sunday morning, I might have to start considering what fights I stay up for and whether it's worth not getting much sleep.

I'm still undecided on this one, but if I'm up I sure as hell won't be too drunk.....sadly.

Oscar all the way for this one, unless he's gone downhill an awful lot it does smack a little of being a mismatch.

[TitoFan]

Given that there was actually a "Countdown" to this fight (unbelievable)... the fact that De la Hoya will blow out this shorter, unknown nobody will come off as a sham.

[KingMelo15]

Golden boy Oscar will win cuz he is one of da great boxers

[Majesty]

If Oscar wants to impress why doesn't he fight a htreat like Ricky Hatton. Im pretty sure Oscar could have gotten someone better then Steve Forbes...

Someone with a pulse like a Clottey or some other 147 pounder its a good division why did he pick a former super featherweight?

Because Mayweather used to be one?
