Katsidis by close UD, he will out work Marques just a little bit
Ward will win by clear UD, but not an easy fight for Ward by no means. Bika has never been down and is awkward, pretty strong too.
Abraham by late TKO. I think one of those wild looping hooks from hell will catch Frock and test his chin like never before.
ugh. Froch wins by UD. lets see how the rest of my picks turns out.
Last wk a sick Martinez KO. Now a sick Berto KO right through the Hernandez gloves!
HT- Got you on that one brother. Marquez COMPLETELY outclassed Katsidis. I like the dude, but he’s another Arturo Gatti-type.
yep. I only called one of those three right. totally wrong on Froch/Abraham, Marquez/Kastidis,
BUT, I was dead right on Ward/Bika

right. wonder if Pac’s people still want him (Berto) for their next opponent?
I wonder if anyone predicted Froch kicking the shit out of Abraham?
I sure didn’t see it coming.
Good to see Marquez hasn’t gotten old yet. Really feel sorry for Katsidis though. I bet he put his heart and soul into that fight.

That’s who I’m hoping Pac is going to fight.
I didn’t know Ward fought in Oakland this weekend, I would have gone.

Well to be honest I didn’t even know Froch could box, I think he didn’t realize it either. Maybe now he’ll box instead of just pressing forward and trying to slug it out.
Abraham has been pretty well exposed in the Super Six, I think he might go down to 160 after the tournament.
Just watched the replay of Marquez-Katsidis.
Is Marquez quickly becoming anyone else’s favorite fighter?
That guy is so fucking good, and such a goddamned warrior… you watch him get punched right on the chin, and he immediately opens up and starts wailing with 2-3-2-3 over and over.
Not many guys like him who’s first instinct is to FIGHT when he gets hurt.

So my favourite fighters are what? 37 and 35? Fuck that. I need some young prospect to latch on to. Why do you think I’m getting so excited about Khan? 
hahahah because you refuse to believe that he’s going to get knocked out again as soon he faces another puncher? hahahah

I like him but sooner or later he’s probably going to get floored and not get up.

You mean Maidana? I’m not worried.
Is very worried
On a different note here’s a good article on Martinez’s early years…
http://www.maxboxing.com/news/sub-lead/sergio-martinez-part-two-the-general-crowns-his-king
…not easy to make it in pro boxing…
great find duffy…thanks. Viva Maravilla!
hell of a story…Maravilla keeps growing on me. In fact my list of Favorite fighters now looks like this
resurrecting a dead thread… so what.
so looks like Irish was right, it is going to be Pacman/Sugar Shane. Is there anybody here who is as disappointed at this terrible fight as Irish and myself?
still no news on Sergio’s next fight. anybody heard anything?

I’ve heard lots of rumors about Andy Lee heavy. Really don’t care about Pac-Mosley, but there’s always the chance that Mosley will knock him into the middle of next year with one big right.
Scratch that. The fight with Lee is off. Apparently HBO is trying to make him fight Dzinziruk.
???
I just heard this too duffy. not sure how I feel about this yet.
