Unless Oscar is way better than he was against Mayorga...

[The Rookie Fan]

I may be on a roll, but most of the fights lately have been easy to predict. Pacquaio against MOrrales III, Mayweather-Baldomir, Hopkins-Tarver, IMO Peter vs. TOney II, Wright-Taylor(Wright did win), Wright-Quartey, Dawson-Adamek, Maskaev-Rahman(this one was a gut feeling), Kessler vs. he last few opponents, Mundine-Soliman, and many of the other ones the last one I can recall thinking would be closer than it was is Lacy-Calzaghe. I admit I hadn't thought much of Calzaghe and still don't, but I knew Lacy had problems, but I thought he would do a lot better than he did.

So just for the record who you got for..

Miranda v Pavlik
Hopkins v Wright
Hatton v Castillo
Kessler v Calzaghe
Cotto v Judah

I'll give that one a shot

Pavlik UD
Hopkins UD
Hatton KO
Calzaghe UD
Cotto KO

Mayorga was made-to- order for him. A wide puncher who cannot beat any elite fighters. Oscar has looked bad in 3 of his last 4 fights.

I just watched his Mayorga fight after watching Mayweather's last fight against Baldomir, and his(ODLH)'s timing is not up to par. He always has looked faster on the bags, and from 24/7 it looked like he couldn't handle Mosley speed either from what short clips were shown. I hope he can make it an interesting fight, but I can't see him giving my boy any problems. His punches were thrown technically very well, but he seemed a little off in his timing like I said, and against Mayorga thats ok, but against Mayweather its not.

No one knows how good Mayweather is at 154 yet.

Bingo!

Miranda v Pavlik = Pavlick ko
Hopkins v Wright = Draw
Hatton v Castillo = Hatton by ud
Kessler v Calzaghe = Calzaghe by ud
Cotto v Judah = Cotto by ko

[Wadeb_21]

that was the style and tactic to beat mayorga and it worked. i doubt oscar is going to use the same gamplan on saturday.

I agree with you completely Jbirdy. Plus Roach isn't a dumb trainer I'm sure, I'm sure he has came up with a good game plan for Oscar now all Oscar has to do is stick to it. But I'm still rooting for my boy Floyd to get the Win.

I've never seen Pavlik fight before. And I don't this is that big of a fight. EIther way I truly don't know him well enough to gauge this fight.
I think Wright will win... He is too active for Hopkins ... it could be close but I see him winning.
I think Hatton wins this one... Castillo had alot of trouble with N'Dou who threw a few combinations, and Castillo looked very drained. I think Hatton is too quick for him.
Kessler vs. Calzaghe: this fighting isn't happening yet we'll see closer to when the time comes.
Cotto vs. Judah: I am guessing Cotto wins, but I could see Judah win this one. Its 60/40 in Cotto's favor for me.

Oh my god. Pavlik vs Miranda is probably the most important and exciting fight that the middleweight division has to offer.

Miranda TKO11 Pavlik
Wright UD12 Hopkins
Hatton UD12 Castillo
Kessler SD12 Calzaghe
Judah KO 4 Cotto ( Upset special)

[Rick_Rack]

You can write all the names down you want even on Oscars side look at the difference to who he beat and who he lost to big hitters! Mayweather not even close it doesnt compare thats what I see and I have won my fair share of picking who will win there is a bunch to not over look in this one later gator!

[Hairdoo]

It could be this topic or it could just be a bad day, but I' am really questioning my own arguements this morning.

What if todays Oscar is no better than the one we saw in the Mayorga fight?


















ok... time to go watch Mayweather v Castillo I again

[LegendBoxing65]

Icecold, Exactly. That is the key. How Floyd handles 154. By the way, how do you guys put the quotes in and then comment under the quotes.. I have a hard time with this format and i have posted about 300 times or so.

Bah Wright, and Taylor would both beat Miranda without a doubt in my mind. He is very overrated IMO. He sloppy, doesn't have the best chin and he's as slow as a snail.

Yoh Mayweather is comming in pretty much the same size he did against Baldomir he weighs 150 right now and was 149 against Baldomir... there is no reason for me to believe he will try to raise his body weight into the 154 area.
