    Also the Gonzalez pick over Gvozdyk, I agree it's a dangerous fight, but after hyping Gvozdyk for a while surely you have to back your man @CST80 ? ;)

    Just wondering what you all see in Zambrano?

    It appears that Marrero has been keen on the fight for a while now, while Zambrano seems decidedly less keen. And for a previous date the bookies opened with Marrero as a slight favourite.

    Noooo, I didn't pick Gonzalez over Gvozdyk, I'd never do something like that.:lol: The Gonzalez pick was against Gesta.

    And why not? I see that as a very competitive match, Petrov hs looked great lately, he has more power than Terry, he's a southpaw, and quite frankly he has the more impressive wins as well, his win over Perez was dominant and brutal, the Quintero match was a war, Carcamo win was very decent as was the Diaz match, his only recent loss was against Zlaticanin, and he didn't go down in that match, and there's no shame in losing to Dejan.

    Petrov will bring non stop pressure to Turbo Terry, and you know that that makes Terry uncomfortable, remember the Ormond match? It wasn't his greatest showing.

    Because Zambrano is a pretty skilled undefeated fighter with a decent amateur pedigree, granted his resume is nothing to write home about, mostly tin cans, but neither is Marrero's, the first time he stepped up he lost, and Cuellar isn't all that great or skilled a fighter, also Marrero's power is overrated. Its a pick 'em fight.

    its undefeated terry flanagan fighting infront of his home fans in manchester. also flanagan can fight, box, he has many qualities. box off the back foot, or non stop pressure with a huge volume of punches. and hes not a featherfist my any means.

    No he's not featherfisted, but Petrov has a good chin (the recent KD against Diaz was BS), I'm sure he can take Terry's shots if Dirty Derry and Fana can, Petrov only has two recent losses to Dejan and Maidana the other two was from when he was young and inexperienced, Petrov has been a work in progress and is vastly improved, and be honest, you know Dejan and Maidana would demolish Turbo as well. This is a pick 'em fight.:deal:

    No because dejan has only one style, and flanagan has many. it would be a rocky start, but once figured out, hed probably beat him to a close UD. Flanagan is alot better than current ricky burns.

    I still want to see that match, I think The Rickster could take him even in his current form.
