    From Steve Kim :


    Pretty solid fights, in my opinion. Apparently, Donaire's opponent is likely going to be Wilfredo Vasquez Jr.

    Sounds great! Morales-Garcia is tough to call, If the Morales that fought Maidana shows up, I think Morales wins by wide UD. If it is the Morales from the Limond/Lorenzo/Cano fights he gets easily beat. And Kirkland will stop Molina late. Good early 2012 set!

    I wouldn't bet on that. Molina has never been stopped and is quite a contender. It will be a good, competitive fight.

    That Jan 28 double is hot. I got Garcia sending Erik back into retirement and Kirkland has his hands full.

    Great news if HBO is saving Donaire from having to go back to PPV

    Steve also mentioned mutual interest between Trout and Rodriguez which makes sense since Delvin had been rumored to fight Kirkland.

    As a Kirkland fan, I don't like the Molina matchup.

    Garcia = Puerto Rican
    Morales = Mexican

    With good reason. This could be the win that finally gets Molina some widespread recognition and places him on the map (much as Barrera was for Marquez, who'd been the darling of the diehard boxing community and had been on great form against Jandaeng and Jaca...but of whom casuals had probably just dim memories as the guy who'd held Pacquiao to a draw and maybe as the guy who'd beaten Salido on a Hopkins PPV card - both from a good few years before the MAB match).

    It would be good to see Delvin get a shot at a world title. Unfortunately, now he will have to face some real jr middle weight boxers/fighters, and Delvin really is not a true jr middle.

    I just dont understand why either Kirklands or Morales teams would take these fights.

    I dont like these fights for either guy.

    Out of all the awesome, awesome fight for Kirkland after his fight with Angulo, they put him up with Molina? Makes no sense whatever to me.
