    What would be the bigger upset -- Rubio beating GGG or Algieri defeating Pac?

    I actually think Algieri is a live underdog in the Pacquiao fight. Pacquiao's the favorite, but Algieri has got a shot at boxing and moving to a decision. I would say Rubio beating GGG is a bigger upset.

    I expect to see an even more dominant GGG. Hes going to make the ring very small for Rubio and probably put him down with a body shot in the fourth. Really looking forward to this fight.

    I figure at least one of these fights will end in an upset.

    Come on, sir! Who do you think has a bigger chance of losing, or better yet, who do you want to see suffer an upset?
    We all know anything can happen in a fight, who do you have doubts about?
    Manny is looking old? GGG fights with too much abandon?

    Golovkin wins by KO and something you don't see every day happens in the fight.

    How about Donaire-Walters? I was somewhat surprised to see that Walters opened up as the favorite at -150. That's wild. I would have picked him in the upset, but I'm not sure I'd take him with those odds.

    I've been calling a Chris Algieri upset since the fight was announced. I think he can out box a Manny that is past his prime, out of shape and taking him lightly.

    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?

    I like Walters to beat Donaire and wouldn't be shocked to see a bit of a beating. In many ways these guys are going in opposite directions and as long as Walters doesn't choke on huge fight stage, Donaire has been flirting with defeat and pushing his body and over reliance on looking for one bomb one time too often. Rubio is here because he is durable and experienced but ultimately he rarely if ever forgets his limitations when it comes to top flight fighters. Golovkin breaks up the body and gets tko 8 ish

    I think Donaire hasn't had is head fully in the ring since stepping into it with Rigondeaux. As long as Donaire has he head in the fight, he is much quicker, a better athlete and more skilled than Walters. All he has to do is use it. I don't expect Walters to make it through the late rounds if he does, he loses by a wide UD. If Rubio manages to go the distance, he'll would gain a new rep for a granite chin, but he won't last past the 6th.

    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?

    Double happy another Golovkin fight is free on sky sports... agree with Fenster that maybe there's a Froch fight in the pipeline for 2015.

    Lets hope so as that's about as good as it gets for me in boxing currently and its a nailed on brutal war.

    Golovkin is just so good to watch, love his style, footwork and when he smells blood just irons the opponent out with serious power punches.

    Id watch a GGG fight over a current Floyd fight any day of the week.

    He entertains and Floyd hasn't in ages now.

    For me he gets a stoppage around 7 rounds.
