FOR WBK: Removed Catterall vs Nurse ( cancelled ) from Round 3 and moved all fixtures up and now Round 12 is: ROUND 12: 7/15 - Arthur Szpilka vs. Adam Kownacki - 10x3
Caparello KO8, Niyomtrong Close UD, Cacace KO10, Galahad KO9, Selby close UD (don't really believe that the Selby match scores will be close, but I had to) And @BoxingABC1 The Cacace-Ward battle is on!
Guerrero-Figueroa, I see this as a redux of Guerrero-Katsidis, he knows its not a great idea to trade with Omar, even though I doubt Omar can KO him, so I think finally Guerrero is going to play it smart and box from the outside, he did it with Martinez in the second half of their match, and won that part with relative ease, also Figueroa struggled mightily with Demarco and was almost KO'd late, like Demarco, Guerrero is a fellow southpaw and probably hits just as hard as Antonio. Figueroa is already showing signs of sliding, and as bad as Guerrero looked against Peralta, I chalk that up to being a bad style clash. So therefore, I don't think its going to be a war, the Ghost of LW/SFW will return and box Figueroa very dumb ears off. Guerrero UD
I also have a feeling that Guerrero is going to fight/box for his life, he has no choice at this stage, and that Figueroa is in for a long night.
I'm still mulling over... James-Dan Browne-Monaghan Abraham-Eubank Corrales-Castellanos Genuine toss ups. Not to say the rest aren't, what a ****ing weekend.
For the record, what about Barrera-Shabranskyy? What an impressive showing right? So what, I'd pick Smith Jr. over Slava in a heartbeat, I think he'd KO Slava in the first or second round. Slava its pretty apparent has no chin, after all he was almost KTFO by Paul Parker. Joe's power is too devastating for Barrera to withstand, he may win a few early rounds, but eventually Joe will land something and when he does, Cuban glass will be all over the ring, and in Lampley's hair.
Most people on here picked Hopkins over Smith Jr., so why when Joe knocks him out of the ****ing ring do they act like that wasn't impressive, after all they thought Hopkins would school Smith. The same mistake is being made with the Barrera match, how many times is The Irish Bomber going to have to upset the apple cart before people actually give him some credit and realize he might be the real deal? (Not you Kiwi, you weren't playing last year)
