    Abraham/Dirrell: I'm not one of those who think AA is some kind of unbeatable monster. He looks like a pretty simple guy to figure out, but simple does not mean easy. Dirrell is hyperactive, he's clumsy, and he makes a lot of mistakes. I won't attempt to pick the round, but at some point young Andre is going to do something stupid, and get knocked out.

    Ward/Green: It should be clear by now that I freaking hate Son of Goat. However, I do not think Green can handle him. Alan will get out boxed, and beat up with head butts and elbows. It might seem odd to come right out and predict that a guy will quit on his stool, but it will not surprise me if a bloody and humiliated Green does exactly that.

    Froch/Kessler: Since Kessler's last performance, this looks like a 50-50 fight to me. I predict that it ends with a KO/TKO. I just can't decide who is getting knocked out.

    Cotto/Foreman: I've seen a number of Yuri's fights. He is a respectable B-Level fighter who has some very good boxing skills. Cotto will not carry 154 pounds very well, but I think he can carry the weight well enough to hang with a feather fisted B-Level opponnent. I think he will punish Foreman with body shots and get a late TKO. If not, Yuri earns a hard fought decision in the toughest fight of his career.

    Mosely/Mayweather: Heart says WAR MOSELY. Head says PBF by decision.

    Pavlik/Martinez: This is a mismatch. Martinez is just an unorthodox brawler with fast hands and feet. He has almost zero defensive fundamentals. He relies almost entirely on speed and athleticism which detiorates rapidly after the halfway point. That is why he lost to both of the "pressure fighters" he faced. Sergio will have his moments in the early rounds, but he is far to flawed and to willing to exchange to hang with KP. Pavlik by KO in about 7-8 rounds.

    Williams/Cintron: Kermit probably can't handle Paul's work rate or tenacity. I see PW winning by clear UD or late TKO. Williams tests opponents in ways that I don't think a guy like Cintron can handle. Kermit needs to jump ugly and early, but that's really not his style. I think PW's work rate puts Cintron in survival mode and he loses for that very reason.

    Okay, your turn.:think

    :lol: Oh but he loves AA too! But Boo is so wrong once againl... Dirrell's reach, mobility, reflexes, stamina and power are far more dangerous for AA than what Taylor brought to the ring, and of course Boo had Taylor schooling the King. :hey

    Stop lying. I never once said Taylor would school AA. I said IF JT won, it would prove he wasn't shot and nothing more.

    AA-Dirrell: AA Big KO late rounds when Dirrell gets a bit untidy
    Ward-Green: Ward Stoppage after 10 rounds of pain...Green gives up/ corner stops it
    Froch-Kessler: Kessler KO....I cant see it any other way...Froch trades in the zone
    Cotto-Foreman: Foreman Close UD will use reach, movement ,workrate and size to his advantage..unlike some of the other tall guys Cotto have faced
    Floyd-Mosley: Floyd UD....he's just a bit better than Shane in the speed, defence and gameplan department...we know Shane will bring the power but the big shots wont get through
    Pavlik-Martinez: Pavlik KO..Martinez will look great and be hard to tag until Pav gets his range mid fight..after a few rounds of flush shots Martinez get caught with the power shot and goes down

    AA-Dirrell: Abraham UD. Suspect Dirrell's going to engage at first and then get his spikes on.

    Ward-Green: Ward UD

    Froch-Kessler: Pick 'em, but I think somebody's getting knocked out. I'll go ... Froch by KO

    Cotto-Foreman: Cotto KO

    Floyd-Mosley: Floyd UD

    Pavlik-Martinez: I'm probably going to catch hell for this down the road, but ... Martinez UD.

    Williams-Cintron: Williams, late stoppage
