Just a brief overview of some of these fights:

Kendall Holt-Tim Coleman is a good fight. Finally, ESPN2 offers a good fight on paper. Hopefully, it does turn out to be good in the ring. Coleman is like his nickname, "pit bull" he's an aggressive little dude and throws those hands. Holt, is inactive quite a bit, but has dynamite in those hands. Style wise, this could produce some fireworks. If Coleman can survive the first few rounds, he could potentially produce that minor upset, because Holt is a mental midget. He starts daydreaming, and goes into la la land, but if Holt lands early and often, could be lights out for Coleman. I do sort of think Holt will win, and win by KO. Not confident at all, just really a hunch.

Miguel Roman has an up hill battle. He's a short dude as it is, but now he's going up in weight against a really tall fighter in Antonio DeMarco. Skills wise, DeMarco is a little better, but really, the height and weight advantage for DeMarco will more than likely be too much. And Roman might even get stopped late. Not that DeMarco is that good or that powerfully, it's just that he's that much bigger than Roman. Tough fight for Roman and will be a pretty be upset, if he did win.

I'm not high on Edwin Rodriguez or Don George. Never been impressed, they have the skills of club fighters with padded records. But, they are fun fighters and when you have two fighters in the same level of skill set, they make for fun fights. This could be a really good fight between two below average to average fighters. Both are tough, both got power, both got heart, and both could produce a great fight.

Sergio Martinez and Matthew Macklin reminds me, and it pains me to say, but it really does remind me of Pacquiao-Hatton....without all the hype. Macklin is that tough, come forward fighter, Martinez is that southpaw with speed and power. And with that I think Martinez wins, wins early, and wins big. I'm thinking Martinez KO's Macklin within the first 4 rounds. If, and it's a big if, Macklin can overcome the fast, speed, powerful start of Martinez, then he can start to wear down Martinez and may'be pull off the upset, but that's a huge task and I don't think he can do that. Macklin is a good fighter, and a really tough fighter, but style wise, it is just a tough matchup. Plus, Martinez is a pretty decent fighter himself. Gotta go with Martinez by early stoppage.
