John Ruiz vs Andrew Golota (WBA Hvy)
John Ruiz, Im pulling for Golota but I think Ruiz will break him down mentally.
Chris Byrd vs Jameel McCline (IBF Hvy)
Byrd should win this bout, but I believe McCline will win by decision
Hasim Rahman vs Kali Meehan (Hvy)
Could go either way, Im going with Meehan
Evander Holyfield vs Larry Donald (Hvy)
Larry Donald, Evander your best days are behind you.
Owen Beck vs Monte Barrett (Hvy)
My money is on Barrett
Davarryl Williamson vs Oliver McCall
Davarryl Williamson if he doesnt get anxious, Oliver's days are long behind him as well.

Has been a while since I actually posted anything- but I remain ever opinionated!
John Ruiz VS Andrew Golota: Golota by KO5 - Ruiz has had the ability to mask his weak chin since his big loss to Tua... The buck stops here though- Golota is just too big and strong.
Chris Byrd VS Jameel McCline: Byrd by UD- Both can box and McCline may even have a little more pop- but Byrd has more ring savvy and is faster.
Evander Holyfeild VS Larry Donald: Donald by UD- Evander has been looking worse and worse every time out, and the man has not fought in a year. What you hear is the door finally slamming shut on Holyfeild's career.
Hasim Rahman VS Kali Meehan: Rahman by KO3- Brewster made Meehan look better then he really is in their last time out. Rahman may not be the best of the heavyweight division (or he may be for that matter!) but he is a class above Kali. This one will be over quick!

Does anyone know if this is a heavyweight tournament, It seems the press is beating around the bush that it is and eventually the winners of saturdays fights will fight each other and then the possibility the winner in kings circle with fight the current wbc champ at that time.
Im interested in knowing because if so Im definatly wanting to see byrd vs ruiz.

why on earth would you want to see byrd-ruiz? it would be 12 rounds of ruiz trying to chase a running byrd so he could hug him. they have cartoons like this ya know.

This fight has been pulled. They are looking for a replacement for the card and to appease golota.
