Alright so the best month in boxing this year is here. It has been pathetic lately. I have yet to review the fights on showtime last night so i will skip that for now. Tonights fight seem to be like they will be very good. Im expecting 3 exciting wars out of the 4. Here is my breakdown: Rafa-JML Both will be hurt early in the fight but i expect it to go the full 12 with what could be a possible FOTY candidate. It will be close contest which will be given to JML. It will be very very disputed however the younger man will get it. Green-Johnson Regardless of the weight and age. Johnson will grind Green down and possibly TKO him late but more than likely a 8-4 type of decision. **** Green!! Guerrero-Escobedo I feel the most confident on picking this one. Guerrero by 6-9th round TKO. Just better at everything Escobedo does. Judah-Matthysse Judah has always been overrated in my eyes. All this talk of him competing with the best at 140 is just that talk. He has always underachieved due to his lack of focus. What makes you think he now has that focus? Not to mention he has been in a lot of fights and only the very mentally strong fighters can make a comeback of this magnitude. Judah is not one of them. Matthysse while crude is the wrong style for Judah he will keep coming back and will land big shots on Judah who has never really been hard to find and stop him in the later rounds. Matthysse might suffer a KD early though. Judah does have pop. Im also doing my first parlay on bodog with those picks. Ok another thing. From watching the Margarito and Pac replays from last night i hope Pacs camp is just building up the fight. He will need to use his legs alot because Margarito will just keep coming at him nonstop. He took massive shots from Cotto who was beating everyone up and TKOing them and not once was hurt. Cotto did his best to use movement to get away from Margarito but he never stopped. If he is not in the best shape then he is ****ed simply because Pac is not really one to clinch and honestly i dont even think he has the strength to clinch with Margo. Not many do. Either Pac learns how to clinch like Mosley did or he uses his superior movement combined with incredible stamina to outbox him for 12 rounds. im thinking about putting some money on Margarito towards the last few rounds. 10-12. Its a tough one to bet on but the odds should be much better on a Margo stoppage. I love November!!! Lets get it on!!!!
Off the top of my head: 6th Lopez TKO 11 Green SD 12 Judah UD 12 Guerrero MD 10 13th Pacquiao TKO 4 Haye TKO 2 20th Williams UD 12 27th Marquez UD 12 Berto KO 4 Caballero UD 10 Ward UD 12 Abraham KO 10
And it begins. Its Showtime!!! And Lets get ready to rumble!!!!! I got the ribs out of the way and just focusing on beer at the moment. Its night like these that i remember....
