My Picks For This Weekend

  1. Kermit Cintron vs Lovemore Ndou
    Lovemore is fairly technical and comes into this fight above hios natural fighting weight while Kermit comes into this fight at his usual fighting weight but brings with him a pressure/brawl system which the smaller Lovemore just isn't going to be able to nullify with his boxing skills because he is noticeably smaller with a shorter arm length etc and less strength than his opponent.
    Verdict: Kermit via demolition

    Jermain Taylor vs Jeff Lacy
    Fairly easy fight toi call this one. Jeff has no footwork little boxing skills and can only hope to win by closing the gap and infighting the gangly Taylor - which I don't think Taylor will allow.
    Taylor will outjab him and use that amazing speed & power he posses to keep Jeff at bay leading to a points decision and quite possible a KO in the late middle rounds.
    Verdict: Jermain Taylor in a completely one sided fight with a very possible KO.

    David Haye vs Monte Barrett
    This fight could go either way but Haye will more than likely emerge the victor. As amberdextrous as Barrett is I doubt he'll be able to close the gap and take Haye down because Haye has superior foorwork, faster hands and uses reach more effectively. So long as Haye fights on the outside, outboxes Barrett and keeps him on the defence/backfoot without being foolish enough to leave an opening for a Barratt counter he'll be fine.

    Make no mistake though if David Haye leaves himself open Barrett will put him down and will not let up; he will be relentless with the pressure if Haye makes a mistake........
    Verdict: KO win Haye most likely but if Barratt wins it'll be a KO also. I doubt this fight will go to points.
