ODLH vs. Forbes
or
Julio vs. Smith
for me personally I'm more looking forward to Joel Julio fight again, he's got some amazing skill and power and he has definately learned from his lone loss to Quintana. Smith can be a problem for anyone with speed, and I think this is a much more interesting match-up.
looking forward to forbes. hoping he beats pscar or keeps its so close that oscar aint worth shit anymore.
was a big big golden boy fan, but now he is a sell out and fucking this sport up.
You mean scheduled fights?
Then mine would be this May 17... Mijares-Munoz.
I mean between the two I've listed.Quote:

Forbes is a spent force, Oscars natural ability will be too much for him regardless of what physical/mental condition he is in.
julio is a natural at LM, Only decent fighter smith ever fought gave him a 5 round boxing lesson.
I think that's why I look forward to the Julio fight more, I would get much more satisfaction seeing Smith spit teeth, than seeing Forbes lose.Quote:

I mean not really hyped about either fight.
I've got Julio by UD and ODLH by TKO
I'd rather see Julio - Powell but that's just because I'm big on Powell. I think this fight with Julio is going to be ugly because I don't think Julio is sharp enough to catch Smith consistently and Smith will come out with his Pumas on like it's a track meet.
I've read good things on Albert Onalunose who is fighting on the undercard. Haven't seen him yet but will get to Wednesday.
De La Hoya - Forbes I will look forward to more just because it's an HBO fight on a Saturday night which I always like.
I have no interest in Julio-Ishe. I have seen 3-4 Julio fights and never understood the hype...other then a pretty record. I And Ishe...is Ishe :-\ I dont see either guy making any waves in the sport.
I am looking more forward to DLH-Forbes. Not a fan, but Oscar is still Oscar. And this fight has implications on what Mayweathers future will be as well. Which is also tied to the future of the ww division.
I gotta respectfully disagree about Julio, he shows improvement every fight, he has great upper body movement and real power in both hands,Quote:

The DLH fight isn't even a contest. It's an easy win for Oscar to break his string of losses and make the Mayweather fight more sellable. So it's got to be the Julio fight which should hopefully be worth watching. Better than watching Forbes see if he can last longer than Manfredo or Gomez did anyway.
Hoping Forbes forgets that he is being brought in as a showcase opponent and spirited heavy bag for The Diva so The Latter can rekindle some confidence,And Forbes goes in & fights the fight of his life and believes he can pull off this win........I think he believes he can win but he better run Oscar over in the parking lot before the opening bell first....two times.I'm hoping for an upset But I'm not holding my breath....I like living too much :-X

I disagree on mora bieng the only decent fighter that ever fought him as sechew powell is a farrrr better fighter then sergio and to be honest i dont repect mora at the same level as i do powell atall..
I'm equally excited for both.....i've learned to respect the phrase "anything can happen". I see forbes having just about no chance but i've gotten used to being happily wrong.
I think the fight that sticks out most in my head of Julio's is his KO in 7 of Thomas Davis who was 11-3-2. Davis was an older guy, not going anywhere in the sport and he made Julio look bad at time (if he was a bit more skilled and younger he could have made him look very bad)Quote:

He ate tons of Julio's punches and taunted him the whole fight about how ineffective his punches were. However Julio had a good work rate and eventually KO Davis, I cannot remember the circumstances but I dont remember it was really a KO nor was Davis affected by Julio's vaunted power. This fight sticks out in my head whenever I think of Julio. Fair enough, maybe it was an off night, but it was against an opponent who should not have even presented much opposition.
Julio is very one-dimensional...kind of a Trinidad-lite beer ;) But while Trinidad was great at what he did, Julio is only good at what he does and I do not think take long for guys to figure Julio out...who knows, Ishe may even have his number, but Ishe is a guy that is too tentative and a bit trigger shy, so Julio might outwork him to get a UD is my prediction
