Can Carlos Baldomir pull off the upset of the Year? He's done it twice already.

[Wacko3205]

Good article but I think you are giving Baldy a little too much credit.

Thanks babe...but I'm not. If you can't recognize the fact of what he's done of late & the fact that he's undefeated in 19 or so fights...something's being missed.

Floyd will dominate him. Honestly I see Carlos having maybe one good round early on but after that it will be all Floyd.

I think that Floyd will win...but not dominate.

I

'm seeing another Coralles here. The ref will step in to stop a brave but badly beaten Baldomir by the 10th round.

He's got twice the abilities than Corrales...just not the power.

I would love to be completely wrong though :P

Me too...but not really...I want Floyd to silence critics...but fans are so fickle...me included...that beating Baldo will still not be enough for most people...& that's sad.

I seriously dig a guy that normally walks around at 190, drops weight to 140 and kicks a**....He has ungodly power and I dont see anyone in the weight class being able to hurt him...

YES, I think an upset of the year is in the making!!!

Agreed...but I still see Floyd winning...just a reall tuff fight.

you are seriously reaching thinking that mayweather is going to be stupid and trade shots with baldomir.
i dont see baldomir outboxing floyd, either...................pbf is way too good

Baldo will not outbox Floyd...but his sheer physical size difference...that you can gotdam well believe will be applied is going to be a factor.

I love the article wacko But...I did say Baldomir was no joke but people look at the 12 KO's and think he cant punch, he can.

Thanks babe...power aint everything...& until chowder-heads start realizing that boxing is more than just a strong punch...they will be sorely disappointed.

I love the article wacko But...I did say Baldomir was no joke but people look at the 12 KO's and think he cant punch, he can.

Is that you in that pic Starr?

Yep.. actually its wackos SSSP

Anyway, is that you in the pic? You should be James Toney's diet consuler

You gotdam right that is Wacko's SSSP!!! In full eff-iz-eck!!!

Well Judah was handling Baldomir pretty easily before he lost focus. Expect to see the same. But I dont think PBF will get lazy

Agreed. Floyd will not get lazy...but I aint sure that I totally agree with Judah handling Baldo so easily...just rewatched it...& didn't get that impression...but I was drunk...& there goes the validity of my piont.

Carlos Baldomir is a true warrior, who has earned his spot undisputedly... The trouble is he doesn't have enough talent to even give FLoyd trouble imo... Let's examine the two upsets of the year that Carlos has already gotten... Anyone should have been able to see that Zab Judah was handling him early, he was way too fast and Carlos couldn't even catch him, but then he did, just once... If anyone thinks one average right hand is going to make Floyd pull a chicken dance, stop fighting altogether and run for 5 rounds, I just don't think it's realistic... I also don't think it's fair to call his win over Gatti, "upset of the year"... I mean come on... Sure Gatti is a fan favourite(and I do admit I thought he could win the fight boxing, which I still think he had a shot to do if he had listened to his corner and tried to box earlier..) But besides that, Gatti had never, EVER, beat a half decent welterweight... He had lost to many average fighters before, and in all honesty I think there are about 20+ active welterweights who could have beaten, even KOed Gatti on that night instead of Baldomir.. He just isn't an elite fighter as much as people love him.. I think people only picked Gatti to win because they thought Baldomir's win over Judah was a fluke... When the fact is just about anyone who could beat Zab Judah over 12 rounds, would beat Gatti...

Agreed. Good points...but the fact remains...Baldo did it when others hadn't of late...& he should be credited.

IMO it is possible.....I personally didn't consider the Gatti win that much of an upset

Agreed...but you have to remember...there were many crossed fingers.

IF

Baldomir pulls off the upset do you think this one is a bigger upset then Tyson-Douglas? Explain your answer.

Absolutely. Tyson was all power, Floyd is all skill & what all boxers aspire to be...whether they want to admit it or not...Floyd is the greatest tactician of the past decade...ask James Toney...he even gives Floyd props...& I mean...everyone loves JFAT...right.
