Not much going on this weekend, most of the match ups look like white washes on paper, but we'll see. Fights are won and lost in the ring, not on paper or somebody's opinion. So, let's get to it.

Up in Canada, David Lemieux is back fighting Joachim Alcine. Alcine is a decent boxer, shaky chin. Lemiuex should come right and knock out Alcine in 1 or 2 rounds. Lemiuex may lack stamina and heart, but the dude has major league power. This fight will end early. Also, Adonis Stevenson is taking on Aaron Pryor Jr. Pryor Jr. is a horrible fighter. He doesn't have any skill, he's just abnormally tall for his division. Stevenson is quite powerful, but he is quite a bit shorter than Pryor Jr. and that's his only saving grace. Plus, Pryor's only knows one way to fight and that's backwards. He is quite a spoiler, and this fight will be a stinker if Stevenson can't catch him. Stevenson should win though, he's at home and I don't know if he will catch him, but I've got him by UD.

Gennady Golovkin is taking on quality fighter Lajuan Simon. Simon is a quality fighter who is very experienced and been in with guys such as Sebastian Sylvester, and Arthur Abraham. He lost to both, but he went the distance against both. This another step in the right direction for Golovkin, after taking on Kassim Ouma, now he's going against Lajuan Simon. He's heading in the right direction. I think Golokvin definitely wins, but how will he win is interesting. I'll say Simon goes the distance, but Golovkin wins by UD.

Jose Salgado can bang, Liborio Solis is quite slow and is more of an outside fighter. Don't see too many from Colombia that does that, but he does to an extent. Anyway, I've got Salgado, he has good power, pretty decent boxer, nice young prospect from Mexico. I've got him by stoppage.

Rey Bautista and Miguel Mendoza are fighting for a world international title. Mendoza is quite an unknown, he's fought nothing but a bunch of novices. Bautista is powerful fighter, I'll take Bautista by stoppage, and I actually don't know a whole lot about Mendoza, surprisingly enough. We'll see what happens, but Bautista should win.

Seth Mitchell is probably the best American Heavyweight prospect, and that isn't saying a whole lot. He's got a lot of fights under his belt, not much substance in those fights though. Largely untested, this fight with Timur Ibragimov is going to be a good test just to see how good Mitchell really is. As it stands Mitchell does have good power, nice skills, but every attribute is in question. How is his stamina? How is his chin? How is his heart? All that, he's unknown, I think he'll beat Ibragimov by UD. We'll see what happens though, hopefully, Ibragimov puts up a good fight, tests his chin, but Ibragimov is quite faded. He looked bad against Jean Marc Mormeck. So, we'll see what happens Mitchell should win easily by UD.

Amir Khan-Lamont Peterson is a good fight. I'm actually looking forward to it. Peterson has a lot of dog in him. He really does dig deep and he really wants it. Khan is the better overall fighter though, he has a nice jab, very fast, good pop, etc. I think the odds are way too much in favor of Amir Khan, 1/14 favorite? Really? They shouldn't be that wide, Khan should be a favorite, but not 1/14 odds. Peterson doesn't give up, solid fighter. He's got decent skills, but more than likely he'll just be coming forward, throwing that James Toney-esque type right hand. Where he torques his body and whips it out there. Khan has a shaky chin, and if Peterson lands nicely on it, watch out. This will be a tough, tough fight for Khan and Khan won't have a massive size advantage like he has in his most recent fights...probably not since the Bredis Prescott fight. Peterson is just as big, skills a bit less, a little less speed, about the same power, but Peterson has big, big heart. Peterson will be right there pressuring Khan all night long. Khan will most likely win by UD, but don't count out Peterson. Slight chance of Khan beating Peterson by stoppage...ref stoppage, may'be corner stoppage. That's the only stoppage possible, but I doubt that happens. I've got Khan by UD, but much, much closer than what people think.

A Sunday special. Giovanni Segura is a fantastic little pressure fighter. Brian Viloria is a fantastic skilled fighter. His problem is that he hates pressure, and he literally starts running and tiring out as the rounds progress. This should be an action packed fight, and I think Viloria will have success early in this fight, but Segura's pressure, and power eventually starts to wear down Viloria. Segura by late stoppage, if you can. You have to try and watch this fight. This will be a late consideration as Fight of The Year. It has all the makings of it, skill, will, pressure, power, boxer. Can't miss this one.

Pretty much agreed on Lemieux-Alcine & Mitchell-Ibragimov. On Khan-Peterson, I don't expect Khan to have problems honestly. Since Maidana they put Khan with fighters that won't give him that much trouble and I do think that Peterson is part of that GBP plan, let's close the year in great fashion for Khan. But I do respect your analysis, great as always.

 

12/10: Mitchell
