**** Kirk's Championships 2024 Boxing Prediction League! ****

I picked Abreu

 

Iglesias KO
Butler KO

 

I'm on Volny too. Don't think Butler is as good as advertised. A potent offense boxer for sure but he has a lot of holes in his game IMO.

He gets knocked on every few years when he steps up, rebuilds on the Canadian scene and then gets knocked out again. Definitely think the larger Volny is going to wear on him. Wish this was over 12 though. Anyway the odds are surprisingly close, Butler is only a minor favorite despite Volny's obscurity to non-hardcore followers of the sport.

 

How did you score it?

 

Oops maybe not! I picked him to win his next fight

 

I haven't seen it so was curious.

Do you remember the Jamal James/Abreu fight? Now THAT was some sloppy stuff, including some blatant behind the head shots..

Shame James has kind of fallen off the face of the Earth. I disliked him when I watched him live but have to appreciate several of the names on his resume now. A solider operator with a ton of size at the weight and a mean dig to the body.

 

careful with that....cornflake is fighting in his backyard and is also the promoter of the fight.....and the lara fight is an asterisk....lamanna was legit sick in that fight....

 

Sure, asterisk... How about the Cota fight a year before the Lara bout? Or the other three times he's been knocked out?

 

Not sure what's going on but people are HAMMERING the Abreu/Lamanna line. They were dead even a few hours ago and now Lamanna is a +155 dog! That's quite the swing. Wonder what it'll be by fight time.

 

cota can legit crack....im just saying....im not betting this fight because if it goes to the cards and the rounds are close cornflake is giong to win...the dq could also be an issue because abreau has questionable tactics...imo...hes going to need kds or a ko to win.

 

I would argue Abreu hits harder shot for shot than Cota, by a decent margin as well. They have similar stoppage ratios but the Cota I knew was a decent punching fighter with a good work rate as opposed to a one hitter quitter.

 

abreus fights...lots of headbuts....good chance thats going to be a new jersey ref and go to the cards margarito/jones..could even be a dq....not getting plus money on a low output guy fighting against teh prmoted fighter and at home is easy pass for me....-150?...no way
