    Judah/Garcia. I want to see Garcia get another brutal ass knockout. I'm starting to really hate Judah this fight.

    I'd say Arreola - Stiverne is up for grabs. - but mostly because you never know which Arreola will show up.


    This is the fight I most want to see, because the HW division desperately needs an in-shape, motivated Arreola. If that guy shows up, and wins in spectacular fashion, including a show of good defense against the hard-hitting Stiverne, it will make things very interesting.

    Mostly likely, we'll see an overweight Arreola win a boring UD over an aging warrior, but you never know.
    --------------------------

    But I agree, every other fight is a forgone conclusion. - Just a chance to see each great fighter do his thing against an outclassed opponent.



    Well, I guess Wlder-Harrison could be considered exciting, for 2 reasons:

    1: Wilder finally getting near the big stage. Exposure-wise, if not in opponent-quality. Plus, if you're a Wilder supporter, it will be important to see if he's made any more improvements, such as his (constantly improving) jab & how he holds his chin.

    2: Harrison was great once, and this is clearly his last chance at redemption. It's unlikely he'll actually engage Wilder, but you never know. It's theoretically possible that we'll see the Harrison of old. He'd still get KTFO, but he could make it a long & difficult night for Wilder.

    Dunno about that, friend. I give Sonnen a much better chance than the usual underdog showcased in UFC. Diaz v GSP was a joke. Critically speaking, I give Sonnen about a 30 percent chance to pull it off.

    Quillen/Guerrero. I expect it to be much closer than the odds suggest. Could be an interesting tactical test and it's a big challenge for a potential star. If FG shows his best stuff and Quillen winds up winning comfortably, we'll know we really have something.

    Arreola. I like the guy, think he's on the upswing of his career and would love to see exciting heavyweight fights on the air.

    True dat.

    I'm also very curious to see if the chocolate one has been working on his defense & accuracy. I really Like Quillin, and think he's very much in the mold of Golovkin, but he sure needs work.

    Guerrero is no bum, and he looked great against the scrappy Findley, who's a fighter that can make most guys look bad.

    forgot about the arreola fight. that's a fight i'm interested in as well. wonder if inactivity will be a problem but stiverne is also inactive. i remember for a while arreola was fighting almost every month. didn't matter if it was an espn card or non telivised because he was hungry (in a good way. always have to be specific with him in this matter). wonder why he stopped.

    I was planning on going out this weekend because I've been saturated with so much boxing these past few weeks and then Mayday 2 weeks from now. But I'm starting to get amped for this weekend and may have to stay in for another :yep.

    When you get KOed by the likes of Grady Brewer you are a bum.

    Really not interested in any of the fights more than any of the others.

    I might even venture to say Arreola/Stiverne and Wilder/Audley. I feel wrong for doing that, but I do think they will be the two most entertaining fights of the 8 or so highest profile ones this weekend.
