    Pacquaio too fast & too busy for Rolando. Pacquaio by 10 rd. TKO.
    Genaro Hernandez .Vs. Rafael "Bazooka" Limon

    Tough to call. Hernandez was a good, classy boxer, and Limon has his share of limitations. But how does Hernandez hold up when Limon bulls his way into him with both hands flailing?

    Hernandez could win on points here, but I think at some point Hernandez goes down and the fight turns against him, and he quits on his stool claiming some sort of "nose injury" or other problem.


    Next: Azumah Nelson vs. John John Molina.

    Molina could hold his own for a while with his boxing skills. But John,John cant hold up to the relentless pressure of Nelson. Azumah by 11th round TKO.

    James Toney .Vs. Bernard Hopkins at 160.

    I'd favor Hearns to outbox/outspeed McCallum, though a late come-from-behind stoppage for Mike is always possible.

    I think Louis could find the holes in Ali's defense and wear him down to win either by late stoppage or close decision. But it's possible Ali simply had too much for even the great Louis to overcome.

    In any event, my "official" predictions are:
    Hearns UD McCallum
    Louis TKO in 13 Ali


    Next up: Eder Jofre vs. Ruben Olivares

    Good match up. Jofre just might be able to avoid the bombs & squeeke by with a split decision. win. But if Jofre goes down, dont be suprized by a draw or decision the other way...

    Michael Spinks .Vs. Evander Holyfield at 190.

    I've always felt Holy would get under the "Jinx's" awkwardness and eventually pound out a UD.

    DLH - Napoles?:think

    Suprisingly close affair early on. DeLaHoya's slashing fists open a nasy cut. Napoles uses his smooth boxing skills to stay out of harms way. Oscars stamina betrays him down the stretch and Montequilla pulls out the decision win.

    Michael Carbajal . Vs. Ricardo Lopez

    Lopez should be able to tee off on the easy to hit Carbajal and win a decision. However, given Carbajal's power, toughness, and relentlessness, and the fact that Lopez spent most of his career fighting chimps, it's hard to say for sure.


    Next up: Fenech vs. Barrera, jr. featherweights.

    Fenech has all the tools to pull this one off. Strength,speed,ability & above all else disipline. Fenech by suprizing split decision over the tough,game Barrera.

    Liston keeps Dempsey on the end of his pole of a jab and hits him with his uppercuts. I take Liston by UD or late TKO. Dempsey vs Frazier is tough for me to call. How would he fare against the stronger and bigger Frazier? I say Draw.

    Joe Louis vs Sonny Liston.
