    I'm probably biased because I am Australian, but the upcoming fights I'm personally looking forward to are:

    JM Marquez v Katsidis -
    Both are warriors, and are throwbacks to the old school fighters who put everything on the line no matter how much money is at stake. Some people have already written this off as a JMM win, but I wouldn't be so sure as we've seen holes in JMM lately and he is ageing a bit whereas Kats has rebounded with solid wins and is probably sitting in his prime. Don't be surprised to see a Kats TKO win.
    Prediction: Katsidis by TKO 11

    Darchinyan v Mares -
    After the devastating loss to Donaire 3 years ago, Vic has re-established himself as a top tier threat. While Agbeko set him back a bit, I truley believe that had more to do with Vic getting frusterated and reverting back to his wild brawling style than sticking to a gameplan (ala Mijares, Kirillov and Arce) than Agbeko truly being a better fighter. He's had solid wins since the loss to Agbeko albeit to second tier opponents so I'm intested to see how he'd do against a young genuine contender. Darchinyan will have to pressure and force Mares to bang with him, and I expect this to happen.
    Prediction: Darchinyan KO 7

    Danny Green Vs BJ Flores -
    Ever since Green KO an old Roy Jones in 1 round, he has defended his IBO title against ridiculously bad opponents at catchweights. His last fight against Paul Briggs was the last straw for most of us Aussies, which forced him to sign a genuine cruiserweight. Flores has been toying with the idea of switching to MMA as he isn't getting any fights in boxing, so this is potentially his ticket to the big time. Expect a classic fight.
    Prediction: Green by MD



    Notable mentions: Ward v Dirrell, Martinez v Williams II, Pacquiao v Margarito, and Froch v Abraham.
