Of the following fights, who do you feel has the best chance at an upset? Underdog in bold
Vic Darchinyan vs. Cristian Mijares?
Matt Vanda vs. o Cesar Chavez Jr.?
Joel Julio vs Sergiy Dzinziruk?
Victor Oganov vs Andre Dirrell?
He's only got that one loss but he's so flat-footed, it helps for power but if someone has movement he gets lost. Hopefully this German fighter isn't a mover.
Yeah, Quintana really showed us Julio's glaring flaws. He was totally gun shy in the face of a quick jab and some lateral movement. I know little about Dzinziruk, outside of the fact that he beat Daniel Santos, but he would certainly help himself out if he watched a little fight tape beforehand.
Julio was a top, top prospect not long ago. I'll go with him. Maybe this is the time he steps into the spotlight.

Joel Julio vs Sergiy Dzinziruk?
Victor Oganov vs Andre Dirrell?
I'd say Darchinyan, because he's been a world champ before. I still think Mijares is going to win decisively but he'll make a game effort of it.
Joel Julio, I'd like to pick him but you never know in Germany.
Oganov, that isn't happening.
Matt Vanda, if he comes into the fight in good condition he can take this. His problem has been discipline away from the ring. If he's focused, he takes this.
I said Vanda. Hearing Jr had some weight problems yesterday got me a bit concerned, if he really comes into this rematch out of shape its gonna say a lot about his dedication to the sport.
