Rubio offers nothing but some pissy resistance and the opportunity to look maybe a little awkward.

I think that the human wrecking ball will simply slowly break the very tough Rubio down and get that one via KO. Still, that fight can't be a boring one.
I like Donaire as the underdog (waiting to see the method of victory markets).
I was impressed by Walters against Vic. But I was even more impressed by Donaire's viciousness last time out when he was carved up. Maybe a changing of the guard fight, but i'll gladly go with the proven class
Very reasonable.Quote:

Maybe I'm wrong and Donaire has a couple good performances left in him. It would be nice to see. For now, I'm going with the Ax Man.
GGG in 5.
So Rubio blows the weight and come in heavy? I'm rooting for Golovkin a bit more now
What happened has Rubio not come at the weight limit?Quote:

GGG is going to do a Macklin on him. :)

Manny is looking old? GGG fights with too much abandon?
I've always liked Rubio and I'd love him to win the fight but he hasn't seemed sharp lately and I hear he's having to cut a lot of weight for this fight.
As for Donaire... When was the last time he looked really good in a fight?
It's strange what one loss can do to a fighters confidence, the Rigo fight changed Donaire. He is a '?' now, we'll see tonight. I'm not ready to write him off yet.
Manny has slipped some, but I believe he still has enough.
GGG, with the way he abandons defense when he is attacking is a worriment to me. What do you think?
