    Because it's 50/50 the way I see it, Escandon can KO Castellanos, Castellanos could KO Escandon, Castellanos is more skilled than Escandon but he may not get the nod, Escandon may have a great night and UD him with ease, Castellanos could have a great night and UD him with ease. It could be a draw.:conf:lol:

    That's the beauty of that particular pick. It's a close enough fight, that really no pick is a wrong pick in regards to that fight. You just have to go with your best educated opinion and hope for the win. I think that fight is split in the league too...:think

    Saturday may be an all out massacre for many of us including myself.:lol:

    Ruslan Chagaev vs. Lucas Browne....50/50 Toss Up Chag may win by UD, Browne may win by KO.
    Sam Eggington vs. Bradley Skeete ......50/50 Could be a UD or SD either way.
    Robinson Castellanos vs. Oscar Escandon.......50/50 KO or UD for both guys is possible.
    Jessie Vargas vs. Sadam Ali...............50/50 this has SD written all over it.
    Luis Ortiz vs. Tony Thompson......Should be a Safe Pick.
    Tony Harrison vs. Fernando Guerrero.........Harrison and Guerrero have no chin 60/40 leaning Harrison.
    Antoine Douglas vs. Avtandil Khurtsidze......Douglas power overrated, Avtandil pressure may break him.
    Julian Williams vs. Marcello Matano......Should be a Safe Pick.
    Antonio Margarito vs. Jorge Paez Jr........Tony's eye might go and Paez may win by TKO.

    The pick that scares me a little is the Margarito-Paez pick... Paez is a vet too man, if he targets that eye he could possibly get the upset.. He's certainly capable.

    Margarito-Paez Jr. has FOTY written all over it.:nod And possible upset written all over it as well.

    It does, but if that's the case Margarito eye is going to take a beating... one that may bring his comeback to a screeching halt...Hatton like!:deal

    I think it just looks worst than it actually is. He's been away for 4 years, it's probably healed up by now.....I hope.:!:

    His eye looks like it's about to fall out..... Paez is very game, it's going to be a great fight and I wouldn't mind taking a loss on the margarito pick because I'm rooting for Paez jr, but size is going to play a factor especially if Margarito can take the fight into the late rounds without taking much damage on that right eye.

    Believe me I'm sure Antonio has worked on his defense a little for that eye. I'm rooting for Margarito all the way, I've been a fan of his for over a decade, and that isn't changing any time soon.:hey

    I respect that, but he lost my respect after the Mosley fight.... it all made sense, why Lujan's ****ing ear almost fell off. He loaded against fighters who posed threats to his record.. I honestly believe that...

    I don't, Pacquiao said he was the strongest fighter he'd ever faced and that was post wrap controversy, and Cotto's face looked worse after the second fight than he did against Canelo and Margarito was barely hitting him. He's just a big puncher, and he couldn't get away with that that many times.

    Well his physique is very built, but it doesn't mean he didn't use illegal substances in his wraps. As for Cotto, his face almost always shows wear on it, it's the fight game. Now as far as being a big puncher, I have to disagree. Knocking out Golden Johnson and Kerman Clinton really doesn't mean much when he went the distance against P-will, and Clottey.. two of the the most high profile fights on his record, not counting Cotto 1 which we both no what happened there... I look at Tony as a heavy handed puncher more then a big puncher, because most fighters can take his punches now days and most of his KO's are essentially TKO'S..
