    It won't go 7 unless stevens did something to **** GGG off and
    the KO king wants to punish him. I say curtis gets knocked cold
    with a left hook in the 2nd round while throwing one of his own
    and getting outdistanced by GGG's longer hook.

    I tend to agree with you. I'd be surprised if this one made it to the middle third of the fight.

    I gotta say this though. If GGG does take 7 rounds to stop stevens
    then showtime never fights again because that must be a frightful
    beating stevens will be taking. stevens isn't as durable as either
    rosado, proksa, or especially macklin and those guys got fugged up.
    K2 might have a plan of making GGG look not so much of a killer
    in there so they can get more fights while still getting a safe win.

    Yes he did, didn't he?

    Canelo is a big kid with good speed and power up close.
    Floyd could very well get caught while darting inside.
    You gotta go floyd on this but canelo has more of a chance
    than anyone floyd has fought in a long time.

    Golovkin should knock Stevens out!!!

    Nacho Beristain said, in a recent interview, that Alvarez/Void is a 50/50 fight........

    Look what Mosley did to Void, had Void out on his feet, then, all of a sudden he quit throwing punches. It was too early for Mosley to have been out of gas. Was he told to lose? Whatever, if Mosley can do it so can Alvarez. I can't pick a winner, but I think it will be close. Alvarez has to win by knockout, Void can't lose in Vegas, it's impossible. Ask Castillo and Oscar. I think Alvarez will do much better than most believe. There is a rematch clause also.............

    I know he picked Canelo to beat Trout.

    Stevens is just very, very short. Hard to believe he was fighting at Light-Heavy and even Cruiser at the start of his career. Stocky little guy though, there's a lot of muscle there - bit like a bowling ball that's been pumping iron.

    He's slim to none against Golo, but there's a few guys in the top ten who he could give real problems too, 160 is definitely a better weight for him.

    Nah Rigo. He's usually pretty good with his picks, but in this case I think he's more rooting for 'Nelo than picking him to win. His earlier comments suggest he thinks Alvarez may have a chance of stopping it early but if it goes more than a few rounds it goes to Money.
