Re: June 8th!!! Great Weekend 4 Boxing!!! Who U Got?
I just can't forget Angulo getting schooled by Kermit Cintron, if he couldn't turn that into a fight I don't see how he gets around Lara enough to make it interesting. I'm fully expecting a straightforward easy decision win for the Cuban.

He's one dimensional
Re: June 8th!!! Great Weekend 4 Boxing!!! Who U Got?
Maidana over distance in a raw scrap. He looked pretty sharp at new weight, found a jab and wonder how Lopez will come back after roller coaster, not to mention brutal beating at a weight he shouldn't have been at.
Reluctantly and barely going Lara to bore down the pace and win as much with his legs as his hands with Angulo. I just don't think much of Lara at all and he should have a couple more 'L' on his record but Angulo has the boxing imagination of a bologne sandwich, then again I don't think Lara has the mentality to stand at range and rip off hurtful combos. He fights on the cheap, just the way I see it.
Stevenson shocks with tko over Dawson. I think Dawson has been going sideways in career most of the time and Stevenson will not be in awe. Smelling body damage big time.
Gamboa should track down Perez but per norm, he'll square up and get nailed ugly before its over. Gamboa distance.

Dawson was a fool to go down to 168 to fight Ward. But this fight is at 175. He should be at his best. Boxing is a job to Dawson. He doesn't care much for the sport. It shows in the way he fights. Normally that's not a good thing for a fighter. But in this case I think it helps Dawson. It allows him to easily put the Ward loss behind him

Great description of his approach yeh. When I see Dawson, the term pedestrian always comes to mind. But when he gets called on it, forced into a pit off his own terms I think thats when problems come. I attribute the weight as much as Ward being better, and doing just that to Dawson. Watching guys like Dawson or Ward over 12 can be like walking in on the parents having sex as a kid...you wanna stab your eyes out...but Ward gets gritty and grinds. I'm not sold Dawson can just go back to lt hvy after a beating like that and bounce right back. 175 or 168..he was still beat like a drum.
Re: June 8th!!! Great Weekend 4 Boxing!!! Who U Got?
...all this was why I always wanted Tavoris Cloud to get a shot at Dawson. But Cloud's best days are behind him now given the style of fighter he is he was always working on a tight schedule.

Who you picking?
Which fight excites you most?
Maidana vs. Lopez excites me the most and I'll pick Maidana to win that one by late TKO.
Gamboa by UD
Lara by SD
Stevenson I think is the livest underdog as he is a power puncher and hungry, while Dawson is coming off of a very very tough humiliating loss.
Stevenson with a KD or two to get the decision I'll say.
Yes!
4 for 4 !
I got em all right, wasn't dead on in regards to the fashion in which they won, but I picked all winners this weekend. That's rare for me. (and for most posters I'd dare say)
