*** Kirks ESB Championships 2008 ***

I bolded the fights from Quik's list that I would keep, the others I could do without. Just my opinion.

June 6: Ngoudjo-Mbaye

June 7: Pavlik-Lockett
June 7:Cellestino Caballero-Lorenzo Parra .... never heard of Parra.
June 7: Ponce De Leon-Juan Manuel Lopez
June 7:Quintana-Williams II
June 7: Forrest-Mora

June 12: Edwin Valero-Takehiro Shimada... never heard of Shimada

June 20: Andre Ward-Jerson Ravelo ... never heard of Ravelo

June 21: Andre Bero-Miguel Anguel Rodriguez ...this is a Berto showcase bout
June 21: Giovanni Lorenzo-Raul Marquez
June 21: Arthur Abraham-Edison Miranda II

June 25: Julio Diaz-Rolendo Reyes.. never heard of Reyes

June 26: Lamont Peterson-Henry Bruseles

June 27: Jorge Rodrigo Barrios-Martin Honorio
June 27: Abner Mares vs TBA
June 27: Yuriorkis Gamboa-Jose Rojas
June 27: Odlainer Solis-Francois Botha

June 28: John Duddy-TBA
June 28: Humberto Soto-Francisco Lorenzo
June 28: Steven Luvano-Mario Santiago
June 28: David Diaz-Manny Pacquiao

.. and I would maybe add Amir Kahn vs. Michael Gomez June 21.
13 fights I like.

 

I forgot to add... if Abner Mares, and John Duddy have solid opponents, I'd keep them... if they're fighting just some club fighter, then no.

The fights I left off seem like fights that are just there to showcase the name fighter....just because it's for some ABC belt, or eliminator doesn't make it an even fight.

 

If that's the official list.. put me down for these picks....

June 6: Ngoudjo-Mbaye ... Ngoudjo by UD

June 7: Pavlik-Lockett ... Pavlik by KO/TKO

June 7:Cellestino Caballero-Lorenzo Parra ... Caballero by KO/TKO

June 7: Ponce De Leon-Juan Manuel Lopez ... Lopez by UD

June 7:Quintana-Williams II ... Quintana by UD

June 7: Forrest-Mora ... Forrest by KO/TKO

June 12: Edwin Valero-Takehiro Shimada ... Valero by KO/TKO
