Yep, it's a deal. :good

(I didn't want to make a big bet anyway )

 

David Lemieux vs. Marco Antonio Rubio- David Lemieux by KO
Danny Garcia vs. Nate Campbell- Danny Garcia by UD
James Kirkland vs. Nobuhiro Ishida- James Kirkland by UD
Tomasz Adamek vs. Kevin McBride- Tomasz Adamek by KO
Erik Morales vs. Marcos Rene Maidana- Marcos Maidana by KO
Robert Stieglitz vs. Khoren Gevor- Robert Stieglitz by UD

Ok. let's start off with the for sure picks. Adamek should beat McBride. That's a gimmie. No way the judges give it to McBride if it's close (and it shouldn't be close) but if it is Adamek will get it. Too much money on the line with a Klitschko fight lined up. And realistically Adamek needs to knock out McBride. If he doesn't then there really isn't any point of him fighting a Klitschko.

Danny Garcia good young up and coming prospect takes yet another good step to the top taking on Nate Campbell. Campbell is done, he's old, and washed up. Garcia should win every round, and end up winning a wide UD.

James Kirkland is in the same boat as Danny Garcia. Working his way up to the top...or in Kirkland's case it is a bit different Kirkland is trying to get back to the top 5 spot in the division. Kirkland should be on his way to doing that again by winning in another good step up fight against the durable vet in Ishida. Ishada is a decent boxer, pretty fast...or used to be pretty fast, no power. I don't know if Kirkland stops him, I think this is only 8 rounds so I think it goes the distance with Kirkland getting a couple of KD's along the way winning the fight by a pretty wide margin.

And we have yet another prospecting taking another step in the right direction. This prospect is the explosive David Lemieux. I think in this fight though it's more a less when is David Lemieux going to win. I think people will tune in just to see how long Rubio lasts in the fight. 1 round? 2? 3? May'be he will actually give Lemieux a good fight and test his chin and go rounds with him? We'll have to see on Friday, but however long it lasts it will be exciting.

Maidana should wipe the floor with Morales. In really a disgraceful fight. Maidana won't...or at least shouldn't have any problems with Morales. Morales is too fat, too slow, no pop and Maidana should win within 4 rounds or so. Disgraceful fight, and I just hope Morales doesn't get too badly hurt in this fight.

On paper this had the potential to be a good fight Stieglitz-Sartison...now well, Sartison is getting replace by Gevor, who was outpointed by Sartison last year. So, the fight loses a bit of it's luster, but hey Gevor is an ok fighter, he's tough. I do think though Stieglitz will win by fairly wide UD in the 116-112, 117-111 range.

I'll do the other fights either later tonight or tomorrow.

 

:good
I agree with most of your views DD, with 2 exeptions. I expect Garcia to stop Nate somewhere along the way and I expect Gevor (love that guy, can look at the AA KO gif all day) to closely outpoint Stieg.

 

WAR Kirk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
