Predictions - GGG vs. Rubio?

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

What Fenster said basically.

Rubio offers nothing but some pissy resistance and the opportunity to look maybe a little awkward.

[Nameless]

I think that the human wrecking ball will simply slowly break the very tough Rubio down and get that one via KO. Still, that fight can't be a boring one.

[Fenster]

I like Donaire as the underdog (waiting to see the method of victory markets).

I was impressed by Walters against Vic. But I was even more impressed by Donaire's viciousness last time out when he was carved up. Maybe a changing of the guard fight, but i'll gladly go with the proven class

Very reasonable.

I haven't liked how Donaire has looked in a while as @Spicoli said since before the Rigo fight really. Rigo isn't a big puncher at 122-Walters is big puncher at 126-I smell disaster for the Flash. Maybe I'm wrong and Donaire has a couple good performances left in him. It would be nice to see. For now, I'm going with the Ax Man.

GGG in 5.

So Rubio blows the weight and come in heavy? I'm rooting for Golovkin a bit more now

What happened has Rubio not come at the weight limit?

Does it go rounds? Will Rubio be a tougher challenge than Geale, Macklin, Stevens, Adama and Proksa?

GGG in 6 or 7. Very onesided up til then.

GGG really has it all. The nearest I can remember to his approach was Carlos Monzon. He allowed every fighter to do their thing and then did it better. GGG has more power and is quicker. The fight will end in 5.

1st post after 9 years Bob! East End Bob = Saddo Legend.

See you again 2023 when B Hop will be still fighting and Broner is considered one of the greats.

[Tam Seddon]

he came in nearly 2lbs over

Unprofessional

Well this is the second time it has happened to him. Still Rubio has always proved to be a warrior and I believe he tried his best but his body just couldn't take it. He looked terribly drained and GGG runs through him easy

[Master]

GGG is going to do a Macklin on him.

What would be the bigger upset -- Rubio beating GGG or Algieri defeating Pac?

I actually think Algieri is a live underdog in the Pacquiao fight. Pacquiao's the favorite, but Algieri has got a shot at boxing and moving to a decision. I would say Rubio beating GGG is a bigger upset.

I figure at least one of these fights will end in an upset.

Come on, sir! Who do you think has a bigger chance of losing, or better yet, who do you want to see suffer an upset?
We all know anything can happen in a fight, who do you have doubts about?
Manny is looking old? GGG fights with too much abandon?

I've been calling a Chris Algieri upset since the fight was announced. I think he can out box a Manny that is past his prime, out of shape and taking him lightly.

I've always liked Rubio and I'd love him to win the fight but he hasn't seemed sharp lately and I hear he's having to cut a lot of weight for this fight.

As for Donaire... When was the last time he looked really good in a fight?

It's strange what one loss can do to a fighters confidence, the Rigo fight changed Donaire. He is a '?' now, we'll see tonight. I'm not ready to write him off yet.
Manny has slipped some, but I believe he still has enough.
GGG, with the way he abandons defense when he is attacking is a worriment to me. What do you think?
