Predict big fights for 2008 that no one is expecting

[Kev]

I belive andre berto will do something big this year

He's supposed to be fighting Steve Forbes next and if so barring a judging travesty I expect him to lose his unbeaten record.

He's going to be 2008's Joel Julio

Whoa, calm down. Steve Forbes is a blown up lightweight. I like Steve Forbes (damn his wife was cute as hell) but he's out of his depth fighting at 147. He's gonna get knocked out.

[THE THIRD MAN]

Danny Green knocks out Chad Dawson

Anthony Mudine upsets Mikkel Kessler

Snakey hails it the greatest ever year for Australian boxing

Carl Froch defeats Lucian Bute

Witter retires Ricky Hatton

and my longshot.

Amir Khan knocks out Juan Diaz

There is a better chance The Stone Roses will reform and tour than all that happening!

What do you know about the roses? Maybe you are claiming bands as well as boxers.

Here are some fights I'm predicting to come off in 2008. I've also added some other type of predictions at the bottom.
Also it was really hard to try and predict bog fights for 2008 that no ones expecting. I mean as I read thru everyones posts none are unexpected fights I mean really. The only 2 that caught me by surprise were Tito vs. Lacy and Valero vs. J. Diaz.

Champs
Wladdy vs. Thompson
Peter vs. Haye
Valero vs. Barrios
Arce vs. Agbeko (I would like to see Arce vs. Mabuza)
Mijares vs. Hasegawa (Mijares will move up in weight)
Solis vs. Calderon
Sosa vs. Cazares
Niida vs. Roman Gonzalez


Contenders
Gomez vs. Berto
Viloria vs. Segura
Victor Ortiz vs. D-Hop


- I would like to predict that IF given the opp. Miguel A. Huerta WILL upset any of the title holders at Lightweight. I'm dead serious.
- Hiroyuki Enoki will have a big year in 2008 and will make heads turn.
- Steven Luevano will loose his title in 2008.
- Roman Gonzalez's KO streak will end in 2008. He will also win a tilte from Niida.
- 'Baby Bull' Diaz will move up in weight.
- Nonito will reign supreme at Flyweight in 2008.
- Abner Mares will start off with a good year but I think will loose in late 2008 if and when his competion is moved up.
- Mike Oliver will loose in 2008.
- JuanMa will earn himself at a title in 2008 and will win.
- Roman Martinez will help JuanMa in the PR showcase as think he'll have a big year in 2008.

I just came across this thread while replying on another thread....

Now look at those predictions... 4 out of 17 not bad...
Maybe I should keep track of my own predictions.

This past Sat. Santiago almost made my Luevano prediction come true missed it just by a round or two.

I was on fightnews and I just read that Niida will be fighting Roman Gonzalez and if Roman as I predicted wins this fight. I think I've done VERY well in predictions that I made last year.

Gonna pat myself and give myself a hand (Not that kind of hand you faigs )
