Ok, I'll do a quick little writeup due to the fact of the weather and I wouldn't want the power to go out while writing this so without further ado.

(Just in case this isn't PPD, but it may have gotten PPD'd again.) Yusaf Mack-Otis Griffin isn't a real hard pick to make. Griffin doesn't have enough punching power to keep Mack off him and that's the key to beating Mack. You gotta have power and you gotta pressure him. Then eventually Mack will fold, but Griffin doesn't do that. Also, pretty much every quality he has fought has beaten him. So, Mack will probably do the same and get to Griffin and knock him out.

On Friday Night Fights in the main event we got Sergio Mora and Bryan Vera. Both have fought great fighters and have great resumes, but their styles couldn't be any more different. Mora is an unorthodox fighter, fights off the back foot, etc. etc. and Vera isn't a BS fighter he's there and that's him it isn't hard to find him. Vera's last win was on FNF when he knocked out the Canadian Serbastian Demers in 3 rounds. Mora's last fight was one of the worst fights of 2010 against Shane Mosley. He fought scared and never took a step forward in the fight and afterwords the fight was a lot like Leonard-Heans....some people thought Mosley dominated with his aggresion and wide punches that missed 90% of the time, and some thought Mora won who as I said fought scared went up to the ropes and covered up, and me well I scored the fight a draw. Either way that was a horrible fight and this fight surely won't be that bad. Vera is fighting at home so the crowd should get into it and really pull for Vera. Anyway, both are good solid fighters and hopefully the fight will be at least decent. I've got Mora winning by UD.


First things first when you look at the Tomas Rojas-Nobuo Nashiro fight, Rojas is a big dude. Rojas is big and he is an up and down fighter. He peppers in some wins and some losses throughout his career. His last loss was against Dachinyan when he got KO'd in the 2nd round, which was only his 2nd loss by KO, but he has since rattled off 4 staright wins. He's got a couple of decent scalps, but mostly a lot of his losses are by against really good fighters such as Darchinyan, Arce (both of them are the only ones to knock him out) Mijares, Anselmo Moreno, Gerry Penalosa, and Jose Nieves. I think when we look back on this fight in the future I think we'll be adding Nobuo Nashiro on that list. Nashiro isn't a bull**** fighter, he wasn't pampered, he's an old school fighter that fights all the best fighters. In his 6th fight he fought for the Japenese 115 title, and in his 8th fight for the WBA 115 title. And for only fighting in 17 fights he already has a quality resume and last year he fought in a FOTY contender last year that, unfortnatly, most people on this side of the world don't know about and haven't even watched it yet. It's an amazing fight against Hugo Fidel Cazares which was a rematch of their first fight in 09 which was great as well. Worth a look on YouTube and this fight against Tomas Rojas could be another great fight as well. I'm anticipating a great fight that will go to the cards and will be a close UD in favor of Nashiro.

Ramon Garcia Hirales-Jesus Geles both have good records. Hirales is 15-1-1 and Geles 11-1-1 and both have avenged their losses so big ups and kudos to them. I've got Hirales winning this fight by UD due to the fact that he hasn't been babied in his career and that he has been thrown into the wolves for his whole career. In his 4th fight he fought a 10 rounder, which he lost, and he avenged that loss in his 6th fight. From then on he has won all his fights and in his last 8 fights they have been scheduled for 10 rounds or more. And in 5 of them they went the distance, and his opposition has been great and considering he is still a young fighter it is very impressive. He has fought Omar Soto, Manny Vargas, Johnriel Casimero, Michael Arango, and Krik Ramirez in his last fights. While Jesus Geles hasn't fought anything near the quality competition Hirales has fought. This fight is in Cartagena, Colombia which is the hometown of Geles, so hopefully the judges don't cheat and actually judge the fight correctly. So, it is a bit risky picking Hirales by UD, but I'm thinking Hirales will win, and he will hopefully get the decision.
