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.
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
