I think Baldomir is getting over looked or rather looked past in his up coming fight with Floyd. How are Floyd's brittle lightweight hands going to keep Baldo off him down the stretch?
If I were Mosley I would of jumped at the chance to get PBF he going to be kicking himself if the pretty boy loses! ;D

I wouldn't think it wise to put any money on Baldomir no matter what odds he is.
He's durable but so is a punch bag and that is what he will be for 12 rounds.
Floyd UD 119-109
I see it the same way. Baldo wins 3 rounds tops, but I wouldn't be remotely surprised if PBF took all 12.
I actually think Baldomir could be stopped in the late rounds.
I know he can take a punch but so can Mayorga and top offensive fighters like Tito and De La Hoya soon broke him down.
I wouldnt be suprised if hes saved by the ref after 7 or 8 rounds.
Cept he ain't got the punch of el matador. I don't really care for Baldomir but he has heart, decent power, and durability. He will be the first real 147 lber Floyd has ever faced, and Baldomir has done well against two other 140lb stars. Still I agree that he just isn't talented, or active enuff to do much more than win a few rounds and possibly rock PBF. I'm glad Floyd came to his senses and chose to fight Baldomir instead of Spinks. Baldomir is certainly the more worthy and legit champ of the two. :)Quote:

I'd REALLY like to see him land but I don't even know if that would phase Floyd....I mean some of these 140 pounders,when hit by a natural WW have been hurt,Hatton,Gatti so who knows.
Very intresting odds 8)Quote:

I baldo the biggest guy (at natural weight) that Floyd has fought, I know he's definately not the tallest, but raw mass wise I think he is the biggest guy.
People seem for get that Floyd is fast but not strong. His punches only work in close range where he lands his combonations and steps to the side afrter. Baldomir knows how to cut off the ring well, and i think people will be surprised how ineffective floyd will be in this fight backing up. I dont think he is going to take well to Baldomirs relentless style. If Baldomir gets rought with Little Floyd he will beat him and can even decision him (close).
Zab was beating up Baldomir pretty good before he got Lazy, don't expect Floyd to take his foot off the pedal like Judah
My point is that Baldo should be running at around $3.50 not $6.50 as at this particular site ;)
I don't think we have hit our quota for major upsets yet this year. ;D
Floyd should keep moving and pick Baldomir apart but just like most other boxers that move up in weight he is planting his feet more. Is it not feesable that he just has a bad night? maybe sits in the pocket and hurts his hand on this guys huge head? looks past Baldo and consequently doesn't put in enough at the gym to sustain Baldomir's body work? :-\
I totally agree. ;D Imagine what Oscar and Shane will be saying to each other when they see this apparently unbeatable boxer getting hammered to the body by the mediocre Baldomir ;DQuote:

Baldomir is a big 147, but doesnt have the skill for Floyd. Floyd shouldn't go anywhere near 154, at least not for a year or two, but I can't agree that Baldozar is going to show him that. Baldozar will not win this fight, simply because Floyd will train and concentrate on Baldomir because he knows a win will give him the "true" 147lb champ title. Bring on the next fight.

but i see your point, this was the first thing that crossed my mind when the fight was announced
