Pacquiao vs. Marquez- Wow, Marquez is looking very strong and fit as I watched the latest 24/7 episode. Was a stronger looking Juan Manuel Marquez on my tv screen enough to make me believe that he will shock the world and beat down Manny Pacquiao on November 12? Guess again, I still see Manny Pacquiao dominating and stopping Juan Manuel Marquez inside 5 or 6 rounds. The Pacquiao/Marquez book shall finally come to a close with the great Marquez finally giving in to the Pacquiao storm. Timothy Bradley who may or may not be Pacquiao?s next opponent will be fighting on the undercard. Jose Benavidez Jr., the sports best young prospect will also be on the card. Buckle up your seat belts and enjoy this one.
Lucian Bute vs. Glen Johnson- This Saturday night, We shall truly see where the road warrior Glen Johnson really belongs. On the rocking chair, or in the ring. Johnson is a veteran fight brawler who is never in a dull fight. Bute as of late has been knocking out one opponent after another. Does the 51-15-2, Johnson have one more incredible performance left in him to derail the undefeated 29-0 IBF Super-middleweight titlist, Lucian Bute? I?m picking Bute to beat Johnson by unanimous decision in a thriller. But I would be far from shocked if Johnson closes the distance and sticks Bute in the oven much like Librado Andrade did to Bute a few years back. Tune in to Showtime this Saturday night to find out.
Also this Saturday night, Alfredo Angulo vs. James Kirkland on HBO- Junior middleweight knockout kings, Alfredo Angulo and James Kirkland will lock horns to see who in fact is the real deal. The 29-1 Kirkland will come out breathing like a dragon as the 20-1 Angulo will find himself waiting at the door step. All week long, I have been going back and forth on this one. So tonight, on this Halloween night, the wolf is howling and the moon is full. I?m swinging for the fences like Albert Pujos, I am picking Angulo to knock out Kirkland in the 8th round in a fight of the year type of clash.
Jesus ??El Martillo?? Gonzales is on the hunt for Kelly Pavlik- Last week, I read an interview on fighthype.com. The great boxing trainer, Naazim Richardson was being interviewed, in the interview, Richardson spoke about how special Jesus Ernesto Gonzales is. I then reached out to Jesus and asked him if he had read the interview, Jesus answered that he had not but that he really appreciates the kind words that Richardson had to say about him. I then asked Jesus what is up next for the 27-1 super middleweight, Jesus at that time let me know that he is in hot pursuit on a mission to hunt down Kelly Pavlik. With Kelly Pavlik soon making a move out West, what better time to get this fight on than right now?
