    Oh boy! Putting me in a tough situation! I'm ready to put cash on your eliminator success... yet you challenge me resulting in conflict of interests... :yikes

    Tough weekend ahead and here we go again with Caballero-Barros, a passionately debated fight which ended on a rare mandatory rematch. Still being held in Argentina where Barros got the nod and being the short, compact boxer-puncher to Caballero's physical freak, I feel I should go with the hometown fighter this time, maybe he'll pull a Maravilla vs. an aging Cab. Let's do the People's Championship on that one! :deal

    Kirk, here are this weeks picks:

    Barros TKO (should be a good one, hunch says will be a short one)
    Cleverly TKO (but not impressed with the kid at all)
    DeGale TKO (should be undefeated, thrilled to see his comeback)
    Hopkins UD (how on Earth Chad ended up as betting favorite?)
    Linares UD (great fight!)
    Garcia UD (that's a major risk for young Garcia)

    I think those are the fights that are happening this week.

    Don't worry... you'll get the 69$ from Tackle for sure. You must remember that your bet is on the future People's Champ. You ready to put 230$ on Barros?

    Ya, Ive been enjoying hopkins fights lately because of that extra ingrediant I think, of watching something out of the ordinary, in terms of being the oldest champion and whatnot.

    Damn Pinoy, just seen youre taking Dawson... was hoping you were taking Hopkins :lol:

    Thats good actually, this way if Hopkins wins I can be happy and not worry about losing our matchup.
