Whats your pick and why?
My pick Eliseo, possibly by late round KO but I am sticking with decision.
Why? Eliseo is undefeated was protected (but so was Wlad) he is a strong fighter with heart....On top of that, he is cuban and wont quit....
Wlad will get him in the early rounds and he will "calm the storm" and tire Wladimir out in the late rounds and keep his distance and move in when Wlad drops his guard when he gains confidence (he does this a lot)
Eliseo over Wladimir, Id be willing to drop another 100 million dollar bet on this one. :D
...Yeah man, I wasn't giving you shit at all about being wrong. I have been wrong an many many predictions. :)
It's cool...It is always good to bust someones balls every now and then. :D
But it is good that this thread was brought back up...
Eliseo didnt make it out of the 4th...So that is void hahaha....J/P
The fact on the Castillo fight is that A LOT of people gave Wlad no chance..So I see why this thread was brought up...I think a lot of people picked Eliseo though because of his KO rate and we was expecting another upset.....
But after the Castillo fight I realized what was wrong with Wladimir which I stated above.
...Yeah man, I wasn't giving you shit at all about being wrong. I have been wrong an many many predictions. :)
.....This one came from the TRUTH
Thats my pick too because if Eliseo can get out of the first 5 rounds then all he needs to do is throw bombs and Wlad will probably fall.

I bash Wladimir for not having a glass chin but not having defense and acting like he was invincible....Because really that is his downfall, I think he mistakes confidence for cockiness and it shows....Although his skills is far superior than a lot of heavyweights he just doesnt put them to use...I would think over a span of around 45 fights he would fight like a seasoned pro.
I believe Wladimir is his own worst enemy.
...You do make some good points here.
...Yet another one from Sactown!
How is Castillo in over his head??? both of these guys are top 25-30 fighters, just because Vladimir has a past doesn't mean that Castillo won't have a future.... I think this is an even-steven match-up, I got Castillo by KO in 6 or less

good points...
....I am so glad this came back up. Not to bash the predictors but to show that alot of people gave Castillo a great shot to beat Wlad. Once Wlad destroyed him then you never heard another word and the haters acted like Wlad beat a stiff. If guys like Spinx, Abdiel, and Soundtraveler thought that Castillo had a chance then I think that Wlad deserves more credit for that win. I respect those guys opinions and I thnk they know boxing.

I think wlad will pull this one out I think the last few fights have forced him to re-evaluate himself. I think we may see a new Wlad he will pick his shots and I think the weight loss will inturn improve the stamina issues.
This prediction was truly good.

Many people predicted that Castillo would beat Wlad.
Today, Castillo is regarded as a bum who had no chance of beating Wlad.
I just see too much inconsistency.
Ahh ok gotcha, everybody makes bold statements come fight time....We are always heavy to criticize fighters....
Top 4 heavyweights today
Vitali
Wladimir
Byrd
Barrett
Yeah thats right.
What would that be?

I have to go with Castillo by a 7th or 8th round TKO, I look for the usual Wlad to run out of gas and get careless...
... another deep prediction about Wlad
Shut the fuck up!
You should know I am horrible at making predictions by now....I always lose a bet like 90% of the time.
This is OK. :) I just thought that this thread illustrates points raised in another thread.

WOW Great Prediction
Congrats to you for the fantasy bookie win......I was pretty sure of a K.O. victory for Wlad, just thought he would pace himself even more so I bet "K.O. after 6".
.....I bet it before 6 and cleaned up!!! :) I tried to get anyone to take a 100 mil bet and nobody stepped up to the plate.
