Who are you picking? I'm picking Guerrero to pick Maidana off from long range with sharp accurate punches. I hope Lucas will get a chance to fight the winner.
I love Maidana, but I been waiting for Guerrero to step it up ever since he fought Litzau. Its his time now. Hes got this. I could see him winning just like he beat Klaseen. Hook follwed by turns. I really hope lightweight turns into a Rios, Guererro and Soto final 3 showdown.
Damn, I like watching both fighters but I think Guerrero wins this unless Maidana throws and lands an absolute bomb of a punch.
I really like Guerrero, but wonder if he's going to be able to keep Maidana off him all night. He's going to have to hit Marcos with something serious and early and I'm not sure if he has it. I'm taking Maidana on a close decision.
This is gonna be good, but the Ghost is just too good for Maidana.. I can see Guererro getting his shots off first all night and not leaving much room for Maidana to fight.. One of these days maidana is gonna eat one too many shots, Guererro might be the one to do it..
The one thing about Maidana is that he always manages to fight to the level of his opponent. I expect Maidana to train his ass off for this fight and really bring it, and if he cranks up the heat can Guerrero take it? Damn, this fight's gonna be good.
Like I said, I really like him. But, at some point the boxer needs to hit the brawler with something hard enough to get his respect and make him change his approach. I'm not sure at 140 RG is going to have that. Khan didn't, neither did Ortiz. I hope I'm wrong about the outcome. I don't think I'm wrong in expecting a hell of a fight.
I have 100% faith that RG will win. RG doesn't get the love nor the respect I think he derserves. Most of that is due to the problem with cancer his wife is going through, but now that he is fighting Maidana and actually talking about fighting guys like JMM etc.. You can tell hes ready to go get it. RG/Litzau - Proved he was back. First fight I saw him sit down and start banging RG/Klassen - Proved he can handle a aggresive power puncher. IMO his best fight to date RG/Casa - Was disappointing, but he showed off his footwork better than ever before. The Casa of now beats most people by footwork and well place crosses (Katsidis). RG/Escobedo-Katsidis - Shows hes ready for anything. I don't see RG changing or improving much more. He is the total package.
I think Robert is the far better fighter, but Maidana is the naturally bigger guy, and I'm curious to see if Guerrero's chin can hold up.
