Thread: JMM-Katsidis, Ward-Bika, Froch-Abraham, this saturday....

Is going to be a great saturday night. Andre Berto is on the undercard of the JMM bout as well. My predictions are:

JMM by stopage
Ward by decision
Froch by close decision

what are your guys thoughts for this weekend.

I forgot Froch was on this Sat! Thought it was still a couple weeks away.

It's a great weekend of boxing, but it's going to be a nightmare for UK fans to watch. Streams only for most.

This has the potential to be the best weekend of boxing of the year can't wait just hope Sky pick up the Marquez fight.

Hopefully you get it. The JMM-Katsidis is good card. They also have Andre Berto vs. Freddy Hernandez, and Celestino Caballero vs. Jason Litzau on the card. To me from top to bottom is a better card than the Pac-Margs PPV a couple of weeks ago, and this is free on HBO. I was thinking of going to the Ward fight, but decided to just stay home and watch all the fights saturday night

Back to back solid weekends,have to love it.

Jmm via ballsy tko and Kats will make him feel his age as long as his face stays together.

Froch off the floor for w.12

Have a crazy uncertain feeling about Ward vs Bika. Not sure why...blame the peyote. Tonight I think sleeper Bika tkos him in ugly stunner

Berto wins in more obscurity and championship stagnation.

(hey maybe I still have guilt about picking Manfredo to beat him)

Results wise:

Ward by UD
Froch by SD
I still think Katsidis has a early KO in him. If he doesn't do it in 2 1/2 rounds, JMM by late stoppage.

Michael Katsidis is getting overrated, he's tough little exciting fighter. But this is still the same fighter who had an up and downer vs Graham Earl, and the same fighter who was soundly outboxed by Juan Diaz.

And if Juan Diaz can do it, then JMM certainly will. There's no way Michael Katsidis stops JMM early, he's got too much pride and heart.

And except for a few rough moments here and there, JMM should outbox Michael Katsidis clearly and probably stop him late on.

As for the other fights well Arthur Abraham has a much better defense, and in a shoot out i think its pretty logical to pick the man with the much tighter defense, plus i think Arthur Abraham hits harder so im going with Arthur Abraham by TKO, although wouldn't suprise me if it went the distance as both men are pretty durable.

Andre Ward will have some rough moments vs Sakio Bika, but overall he should get the job done over 12 rounds.

I won't necessarily be rooting for your picks, but I agree with all of them and the logic behind them.

We will get to see Katsidis' face cut and bruised up again. I'm thinking hes got hemophilia like desease or something. That shit aint normal.

Marquez by late round stoppage.

WEIGHTS FROM LAS VEGAS: MARQUEZ - 134 LBS, KATSIDIS - 135 LBS

Cant argue with that.

This weerkend is stacked, I cannot wait. I don't care so much about the Ward fight, but the other two are potential classics.

I don't know who I want to win out of Marquez-Katsidis, so am just hoping for a good fight. I will be rooting for Froch, but it's a dangerous fight for him. If he is going to tempt Abraham with the low hands, then he better maintain that gap between them. It's going to be a nail biter.

Can't wait for Froch/ Abraham & Marquez/ Katsidis! Split on both fights! I can see anyone winning either fight... I think Abraham takes it, my mind says Marquez but my heart is with Katsidis!
