Hasegawa vs Montiel on 4/30, who you got?

[generalbulldog]

There was some website that said the fight starts at 6 EDT on Friday morning, so it should be 3 in the morning for me on Friday because I live on the West coast.

Anyways I got Hasegawa by mid to late round stoppage.

Important fight for Hasegawa, he finally gets to put a big name on his record.

A stoppage would make a big statement. I reckon it'll be a tight-ish fight with Hasegawa a clear winner.

Hasegawa by decision around 116-112.

I’m going with Montiel on this. But it’s a very hesitant pick. Anybody familiar with me knows I’m very big on Hasegawa. But I don’t let favoritism cloud my judgement. And I don’t see Montiel being denied. Montiel knows the chances of him getting a points win if it’s close are pretty slim. So I think he’ll go for the knock out from the start. He’ll take his share of punches. Might even go down once. But I think he’ll get the stoppage late in what will be an outstanding fight. 9th or 10th round

You could well be right about the outcome, I think it will be an outstanding fight.

Whatever the outcome I also agree with everyone else that it has the makings for a good fight.

This fight is like the appetizer before the main course which would be the Mosley/Mayweather fight.

The reply is on right now if anyone missed it.... not sure if I can say where, but you pm me if you need it. ENJOY!

....is it too late to pick montiel ??

So Montiel won? I guess that means Donaire must climb a place in the Ring rankings seeing as they both fight in the same division.

They will both be in the top 10 now for sure, soon to be joined by the as yet to be revealed 8-1-1 fighter who will come from straight from the paddyfields and into a world title upset.

Donaire is a 115 fighter, the Hasegawa-Montiel fight was at 118.

Oh no I feel so silly. They are all 7 stone weaklings and overated is the point I was making.

I'm genuinely surprised by this result. After watching the video, it was the right decision by Cole (I feel dirty just saying that). I expected to feel otherwise when I read that it was stopped at 2:59, but it's not Cole's job to take time into consideration when stopping a fight and Hasegawa was done.
