    lopez beats Marquez
    the rest could go either way
    i dont know Mathysse,Johnson is getting too old and fighting at very low weight,guerrero and escobedo could go either way.

    Well, this is the only one i have seen in this thread [url]http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=265229[/url]

    Green : 168
    Johnson : 167

    And a video : [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LE9PxOuTYDY&feature=channel[/ame] (look at 0:50)

    Green and Johnson look to be friends but they still fight like men while Dirrell is crying like a girl.

    Guerrero is completely unproven at the weight, no argument there. It's hard to take anything from the Casamayor fight - they both looked happy just to play the fight out. Casa is still smart/crafty enough to catch a lot of guys with a shot they don't see coming, so I don't read anything into the kd either.

    I've never been impressed with Escobedo. I agree that this is a huge fight for him and he needs the performance of his life - I just don't think he has that kind of performance in him. I think Guerrero wins a comfortable decision.

    Shitty poll, as if we agree or not with the picks.

    I take........

    Lopez/Marquez SD
    Green/ Johnson UD
    Mathysee/Judah KO
    Guerreo/Escobedo KO


    Now, I'd like Judah to win that fight, but his chin is soooooooo suspect that it seems an impossible task for him to come out on top.

    Id also like to see Glen Johnson win since I've been a fan of his since the mid 90s, but thats just it, he's literally falling apart from age, and Green for all his faults won't be KOd because Johnson just doesnt have the kinda power to stop him.

    I heard an interview this morning with Stéphane Larouche, Lucian Bute's trainer, and he talked to Johnson yesterday. He knows him well because Johnson and Bute have sparred many times together. He asked him how he did cut the weight and didn't like the answer. Larouche said Johnson didn't cut the weight properly and lost a lot of muscles. That's not good for a guy his age. His only chance stands in the fact that Green also has trouble to make weight and doesn't cut properly himself.

    Rafa but I havent seen much of juan ma. So its more me rooting for rafa to win than me picking him to win.

    IDK who the guy is judah is facing but i would like to see judah win, i dont know why because judah is kind of an *******.

    I dont like the way rafael looks. I mean hes not fat or anything and hes in shape but he almost looks like hes cut a lot which doesnt make sense because 126 is big for him. maybe its just his age but he looks more dehydrated than juan ma.

    Interesting inside info, considering that Johnson is the favorite in this fight.

    Tempted to place a bet on this one now.
