Looks like they have him at # 6 at 130.Up a notch from last week.Thinking he's looking to sit firm at 135.I dont want to get too carried away in fandom...next thing you know I'll be creating own "Will Antillon inflict the worst beating ever on Tyrone Harris" thread

i'd like to see Linares Vs Antillon

Ohhh that would be nice.Hopefully Linares can stay healthy and be consistant,just arriving at 130 and should be a huge factor.Both have brutal offences.I do think Antillon should work on his footwork...in spots he tends to stand in front a little much while trying to shoot his huge head/body attack.Will be great to watch both 130/135 pan out.Good fights on the way.

yup yup, i'd give the slight edge to Linares due to level of competition

Would love to see Valero/ Prescott! Its an excellent match-up with numerous questions & story lines.

I'd slightly favor Valero, but you never know? What a dream it would be for Prescott to roll Valero!

135 is remains one of the best divisions for great match-ups! With the likes of Marquez, Juan Diaz, Valero. Casamayor & Barrios still looming. Prescott, Peterson & Khan. Guzman, Katsidis & Reyes. Romanov & David Diaz have been inactive but still remain dangerous. Add in the addition of Antillon & possibly Soto & lightweight is looking damn exciting!
