**** Kirks Championships 2013 ****

Nice

 

Bute will beat Bika
Froch will beat Kessler
that's what i think anyway
Beast
our bet could be going on at the end of this year
it will be a massive event
Froch going into the lion's den in Montreal for thousands of people
Bute will be more prepared then ever and have the home crowd on his side (which is very underrated by a lot of people)
let's put all the money we have earned at that time on the line in 1 monster bet
this fight deserves it

:good

 

i think i believe more in Bute's chances then you do
history shows that
even after getting his ass kicked in the first fight
when a very good fighter gets his rematch in front of thousands of his home fans
he rarely dissapoints
in case you don't accept the bet
i may change to Bute UD
that's how even i consider this fight especially on Canadian turf

 

I'll take it god damn it, I have to back up my boy, otherwise what kind of fan am I. Froch(DavidB) v Bute(Beast) for all your cash

 

it will be the biggest bet in the history of Kirk's league
thanks for stepping up to the challenge Beast
no doubt in my mind they will both win their next fight
i really hope Bute's management exercise the rematch clause after that
this fight is worth it

 

I believe these were late.

 

Well there goes my unbeaten run :-(

Thoughts on the fights.

Golovkin is clearly the number 3 mw now behind Martinez and Geale. He is good at what he does but I don't think he'd trouble Martinez too much. I'd love to see the fight though and the longer we wait the more favourable it gets for ggg. I also hope him and Geale have another crack at negotiations. I get Geale wanting to make his money after twice raking short money in his opponents backyard. Plus Mundine has a victory over Geale. So I can live with that fight it must be huge in Australia. Still I hope he will make the fight with ggg later in the year.

Martinez v Burgos was a cracking fight but Burgos deserved it in my mind. A rematch is a must here.

Salido was starting to come on strong and it would have been great to see how Mikey handled himself down the stretch. That being said he looked great in there and the headbutt did mean it had to be stopped. Like a true champ he expressed dismay at the ending and offered a rematch immediately. I think his number 1 spot is warranted for now and will be underlined in the rematch if salido takes it. I expect Mikey to knock him out in the rematch.

Good night for boxing fans all round and hopefully the rest of the year will continue like this.

 

Kirk... How do interpret this... I think I might if world won't end it's possible...

 

Funny enough, when Salido was dropped twice in the first it did cross my mind that it looked liked you were gonna be right, but probably pissed off at the same time.

The ending was unsatisfying, but just based on how Garcia looked in those first 6 rounds he looked fabulous. But, at the same time, who knows? It did look like Salido was coming on and getting closer. Funny enough, we still don't know just how well Garcia can take a few shots. May'be he does get a bit shook up in the last 4 rounds. It definitely isn't out of the question, but Garcia just looked razor sharp that it was a really impressive performance up to that point.

That is true, may'be Salido has lost a little bit of his game. I mean, he has been in boxing for 17 years or so, but it was hard to tell because may'be those first two knockdowns early on just shook him up that his legs and body just never really recovered. I don't know, tough to say, but I definitely see where you're coming from.

 

Dan have you picked on Salido - Garcia ?

 

Del

 

Yeah, I picked Garcia by UD. The cliff notes to my breakdown were: Thought it would be a tough battle, there were still a lot of unknowns about Garcia...and funny enough, there still are some. Not everything has been discovered about him. I thought it'd go to the cards mainly because Salido is a tough son of a gun, and with Garcia being unknown about his heart and chin, no point in picking him to get stopped. But, either one was going to stop one another, it'd be because of their best punch. Garcia using his left hook effectively and Salido using his looping over hand right effectively.

 

Take a look at the table and tell me if anything else beside your Garcia pick is missing.
