Predictions - GGG vs. Rubio?

[ruthless rocco]

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 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?

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.

I honestly haven't seen Donaire resembling a better athlete or showing a diverse skill even before Rigo. I think he terribly sold himself short as far as consistent skillset. He got drunk on his power a bit, loaded up and trained himself into bad habits and last resorts. Mentally and physically..he got and is fat. Explosive if a bit happy on his left hook and deep in experience yeh, but I think Walters is catching him at the right time and watched even Vic box him around and what his face looked like after and his talking about even staying on his stool. Huge stage and no doubt Donaire will take it serious, but I like Walters composure and two handed pop and isn't delusional with power. Confident, but not arsehole cocky. A bridge too far for Donaire in natural size and timing. Great scrap!

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?

Over here we've got the Edwin Rodriguez fight at the moment. Looking forward to watch a decent night of boxing, not really had too many opportunities to stay up really late to watch the boxing recently.

GGG is really exciting and looking forward to see him, but maybe Donaire/Walters is probably the most interesting in terms of whose going to win.

[ruthless rocco]

Rodriguez acting like a clown. He's not impressing anyone.

[superheavyrhun]

It wasnt really the best of fights, quality v toughness, and i guess rodriguez failed by not getting him out of there. Upwards from here!

I'm going to be really interested to see where Donaires head is at. It seems he is his worst enemy in boxing at this time. If he just wants to spend the fight looking for one punch I'd have to say he is not where he should be. He had a great skill set and was always fun to watch but if he is now a one punch fighter it's a bit lame although I do know some fans who eat that carp out. I'm hoping to see a resurgence of the Filipino Flash. Actually, I just saw him and he is looking pretty good.

I think its too his benefit to have his dad in his corner, but is anyone else wondering if the difference wont be apparent in this fight and see's him being possibly outworked?
