Are you more looking forward too

[CutMeMick]

Neither...

I mean not really hyped about either fight.

I've got Julio by UD and ODLH by TKO

I'd rather see Julio - Powell but that's just because I'm big on Powell. I think this fight with Julio is going to be ugly because I don't think Julio is sharp enough to catch Smith consistently and Smith will come out with his Pumas on like it's a track meet.

I've read good things on Albert Onalunose who is fighting on the undercard. Haven't seen him yet but will get to Wednesday.

De La Hoya - Forbes I will look forward to more just because it's an HBO fight on a Saturday night which I always like.

I have no interest in Julio-Ishe. I have seen 3-4 Julio fights and never understood the hype...other then a pretty record. I And Ishe...is Ishe I dont see either guy making any waves in the sport.


I am looking more forward to DLH-Forbes. Not a fan, but Oscar is still Oscar. And this fight has implications on what Mayweathers future will be as well. Which is also tied to the future of the ww division.

I gotta respectfully disagree about Julio, he shows improvement every fight, he has great upper body movement and real power in both hands,
he is also in the top 10 of all four major sanctioning bodies in the wide open 154 lb. division.

The DLH fight isn't even a contest. It's an easy win for Oscar to break his string of losses and make the Mayweather fight more sellable. So it's got to be the Julio fight which should hopefully be worth watching. Better than watching Forbes see if he can last longer than Manfredo or Gomez did anyway.

Hoping Forbes forgets that he is being brought in as a showcase opponent and spirited heavy bag for The Diva so The Latter can rekindle some confidence,And Forbes goes in & fights the fight of his life and believes he can pull off this win........I think he believes he can win but he better run Oscar over in the parking lot before the opening bell first....two times.I'm hoping for an upset But I'm not holding my breath....I like living too much

I think the fight that sticks out most in my head of Julio's is his KO in 7 of Thomas Davis who was 11-3-2. Davis was an older guy, not going anywhere in the sport and he made Julio look bad at time (if he was a bit more skilled and younger he could have made him look very bad)

He ate tons of Julio's punches and taunted him the whole fight about how ineffective his punches were. However Julio had a good work rate and eventually KO Davis, I cannot remember the circumstances but I dont remember it was really a KO nor was Davis affected by Julio's vaunted power. This fight sticks out in my head whenever I think of Julio. Fair enough, maybe it was an off night, but it was against an opponent who should not have even presented much opposition.

Julio is very one-dimensional...kind of a Trinidad-lite beer But while Trinidad was great at what he did, Julio is only good at what he does and I do not think take long for guys to figure Julio out...who knows, Ishe may even have his number, but Ishe is a guy that is too tentative and a bit trigger shy, so Julio might outwork him to get a UD is my prediction
