3.40am
Amir Khan v Marcos Maidana



And speaking of the Ortiz-Peterson bout, the reporter in Boxing News has Peterson taking it on points with his slick skills.

 

yeah?? haha **** that off.

 

the US card starts at 2 am.

1.37am
Joan Guzman v Jason Davis

cant be right

 

HBO are on air at 2.30 for the Ortiz v Peterson fight. Guzman v davis is shown live on the international feed of the card, so that's why we will get it, but they won't in the States.

 

So do I but I seemed to be in the minority in a thread at the start of the week.

 

I lean towards Ortiz, but its no foregone conclusion and I wouldn't really argue the point against anyone pulling for Peterson.

 

For me that fight and the Vic fight are the 2 "squeakers" tonight.

 

I'm always getting mixed up with the Petersons. Isn't there one who can box but likes a bit of a scrap?

 

Peterson has been picked because they see something in him. He just hasn't transitioned to this level even though fundamentally he's not too bad, he lacks a lot of physical tools. Ortiz might have a little quit in him and maybe immature mentally at this stage, but the kid is very talented and punches really hard...i don't see what Lamont has that will exploit the Ortiz weaknessess. He's not a big puncher and he's a tall fighter who likes to go on the inside giving away his good jab. The speed and power disparity is gonna be so vast here, Lamont is really slow on his feet and telegraphs his punches. I'm rooting for Peterson and he's certainly good enough to cause an upset here, but i just can't see it. I think Ortiz might even stop him late.

 

Ortiz will overpower Peterson.

 

Ortiz-Peterson will be close, think Ortiz will get the win but will have to go the distance.

Like Mares against Vic tonight, he can do it :bbb

 

Mares will do it.

 

He's good enough to do it. I'd say it's a better, more competitive fight that Khan-Maidana will be.
