Emmanuel Stewart's Predictions

Thanks for your input. Now, can you please find out what Manny Steward thinks of my predictions!

You think Mayorga has more left in the tank than Vargas?

Will Mosley (at 36) be able to cope with Cotto's pressure?

Mayweather will be dancing with stars above his head on December 8th; he's taking Ricky too lightly. I actually think that Floyd is overrated; many people feel that Castillo beat him in their first fight and I thought Oscar bullied him in their fight.

But, most importantly, who is Manny Steward picking for Mayweather - Hatton? :yep

 

I think after Kelly lands some good shots on Jermain, Manny will simply have to admit that KP is the hardest punching Middlewt. "I've ever saw".

Well, thats it for me from up in Maine. 2 more days & its back home to Jersey & then down to AC for this baby.

See you guys briefly on Sat. before I take off.

:hi:

 

Agree...that is the only thing that has me a little shaky on betting on Mayweather 100% is the whole dancing with the stars thing. I have a feeling though, despite those things, he is still hitting the gym as much as he needs to and he will still come in well prepared for the fight.
What I have doubts in Cotto is the fact that he has some big defensive flaws and has shown that he can get hurt in some of his previous bouts. Mosley is at another level in terms of what he has faced yet... he can throw punches in volume and throw some great lethal combinations. I'm not sure if Cotto will be able to hang with Mosley....that is, if its the same Mosley that showed up to fight Vargas; I think it will be, since he is now fighting at a more natural weight then when he fought forrest/Winky. His performance was affected by the weight gain, plus a lot of other crap going on at that time (such as the Balco steroid scandal, etc). Even though he is at the age that he is at, I think he has good genes...he seems to have aged well. Some fighters have it that way, others dont.

 

TAYS u MOTHER ****ER!

 

I remember Manny saying that Naz was the best super featherweight in the world right before the fight with MAB.

 

This is the sort of fight Steward makes his name on i.e. Wlad v Peter/Brewster and Lewis v Tua/Tyson, even Hearns v Cuevas and Duran.

Pavlik is bigger than Taylor and appears to be better at what he does (brawling) than what Taylor does (boxing).

Pavlik is simple - what you see is what you get, a bit like Margo and Wright, no frills. Taylor is a mess, inconsistent, sloppy and dumb as **** EVEN with arguably the best coach in the world and an amazing wealth of experience.

Taylor has to become a different fighter to win. He has to elevate himself. We'll find out about his mind, heart and balls. We'll need to see a better defence, 12 round stamina and power to keep Pavlik honest. On top of all that we'll need to see the intelligence and tools to pick him apart en route to victory.

I'd even go as far as saying that on Saturday Taylor begins his path to legendary status. He has beaten a top 5 160 pounder twice and arguably has a victory over a top 5 154 pounder. He has win over small guys in Spinks and Ouma. You have to look at his record favourably to see this though.

On Saturday he faces the most dangerous challenger at 160 pounds. Its his last fight at that weight and a fight which will really solidify his greatness as one of the best 160 pounders to ever do it...

...but he has to win and thats tough to see!

 

I dont think that Taylor will Ko Pavlik. Im sure that Pavlik will look to atack Taylor from first round but i wait to see this fight to going in long rounds and Taylor to win by descausen.

 

Steward got it exactly on the money predicting Klitschko-Brewsta II in seven ( Lamon didn't come for the seventh) but he's no Muhammad Ali and there's nothing like Deja Vu mind reading in Manny... He was the same to say that Vicious Vivian would be the consummate pro Mike McCallum of the new decade, did he predict Harris to be so unprofessional towards his own defeat to Witter? Manny good in thought, not quite the same result.

 

It just goes to show that predictions are not always right. It doesn't matter how much you've studied boxing, or any sport for that matter. Once it starts to unravel the unexpected occurs and your prediction goes right out the window.

Manny can predict that Taylor will win by KO, but he may be surprised to see how strong Pavlik is. There are things in this fight that cannot be gauged simply by looking at the past.

And then if the unexpected doesn't happen? Expect Manny to be right.

 

There is one thing you overlook. Taylor has a good fast jab. If he using his jab that will offset Kelly's power and position. Taylor is fast so he should not have a problem landing the jab. He jab alone can beat Pavlik but nobody will ever want to believe that until they see it. You have to look more into the mechanics of this fight...:good

 

I don't get why everyone's on pavliks nut's what has he actually done, or is it that people just want to see JT get beat and will back anyone.

 

Emanuel Stewart is a very good fight predictor. That comes with something of a 6th sense about the sport, his years as a championship trainer, and the countless numbers of fights he's seen.

In this fight, I really have no doubts that he will be picking Jermain Taylor by a knockout. He's training him, he has a gameplan in his head, and he believes if Jermain effectively carries out that gameplan, he will win. Emanuel isn't going to sit back and say "I love Jermain, he's trained for the fight of his life, but he's going to get his ass handed to him by Pavlik."

The bottom line is that for Jermain to win this fight by knockout, he needs to show greatness and become the fighter many of us were hoping when he was still a prospect. I feel confident that Manny expects Jermain to show that greatness after what seems to have been a great training camp.

Pavlik TKO7

 

Tell Taylor that, he'll forget what a jab is once the fight starts and his ignorance kicks in.

 

You and Amsterdam have a 6 month bet going, correct?

 

If Manny told you the World was going to come to an end, say..on December 4th 2009 at 4:32 PM would you believe him due to how detailed he was?
