Just curious who all is picking Morales to pull of a major upset tonight ?
I think he has a chance. Because Maidana does not really know how to box properly and has terrible footwork. Great heart and power tho, and is awkardly clever in there.

If it was a young Morales who hadn't suffered the crushing defeats then maybe i'd give him a chance against the much bigger man naturally, because Maidana isn't the greatest boxer and can be outboxed. But he is totally shot and for that reason I only see an early KO for Maidana.
If he can outbox him maybe, put 12 rounds is a long time to stay on the run and Maidana will catch him at somepoint.
I'm still going for Maidana KO
Yeah could b an early ko but I don't think the above replies hold water, if morales loses it just means he jumped to high in weight. It isn't hard to get away from maidana,
I'm picking morales purely becos he has better experience, knowledge, and has beaten pacman and has had harder fights in his trilogies plus a huge break with retirement and isn't old in slightest.
I agree with both of you. At best I see this fight playing out like the 2nd Pacquaio fight, with Morales outboxing Maidana for a while, then getting caught down the stretch.
At worst it will be a blowout like the 3rd Pacqauio fight.
Either way, I'll be rooting for Morales. He's a brave crazy son of a bitch to challenge Maidana.
This summed it up for me.Quote:

Yep Maidana KO for me too.
BINGO ! Thats exactly what he did in the 3rd Pac man fight.Quote:

I'm sticking to my guns that Maidana is overhyped, I'm picking Morales in the upset. Otley stay the eff away from picking Morales. :D
Maidana is a wrecking machine!
Maidana is definitely over-hyped. He's a one-dimensional brawler with good power, but he's hardly Godzilla. That being said, Morales is shot to bits. I hope he can surprise me, but I think El Terrible is getting stopped. He doesn't have the legs or the defense to keep away from Maidana's power.Quote:

Morales has about as much chance of beating Maidana as Katsidis has of beating Guerro.
Both fights are mismatches imo.
Maidana and Guerroro both win easy one sided fights.
Katsidis has a REAL SHOT of beating Guerrero.Quote:

You can't count Katsidis out.
Thread stickied.
Can anyone tell me how Campbell looked? I know he lost, but did he look totally shot?
Kats will get completely outboxed and sparked imo. Far too easy to hit. Might go 5 rounds, 6 if we are lucky.Quote:

Is there a bigger Malignaggi fanboy than Max Kellerman?
Paulie took a bit of a beating at the end of the round there.

Did Snookie-lite win ??
:o
Fuck
Didn't even know he was fighting, fucking hell, that was mental
HOly SHIT!!! Upset of the year. Maybe the biggest upset I have ever seen. What did they do to Kirkland in jail!?!
Oh shit what an upset. Goldenboy ruins another prospect by a guy with 6kos.
Cortez should have let that go I think...
They need to test that Jap for radiation!!!
Forget PEDS, Fukoshima breaths is where it's at
Bwahahaha, Kirkland has always been exciting , but he goes down alot, he went down like a 2 dollar hooker in this fight.
Did he get ko'd....thought that might happen, really ;D
Is James Kirkland drunk or retarded?
Flash knockdown? What 3 times.....
I thought Malignaggi looked pretty good. Kirkland looked rubbish, but I think they should have let him continue. He was getting put down, but was game to continue. If he could have seen out the round he might have had a chance to get himself together. He wasn't out on his feet or anything like that.
Kirkland said those were all flash kds and he wasn't hurt. hahaha
I think thats a derogatory term to them. Lol he's saying flash knockdown, yeah but three times?Quote:

So who do they feed Paulie to next?
And fools actually think Kirkland could hang with Angulo
I'm pretty sure it is too.Quote:
