I'd love to see the fight, now doubt Bute can box his shoe's off but Andrade has the mental edge now. Bute was 100% spent at the end of the first fight and I thought Bute boxed about as well as he was capable of. I'd be shocked if Showtime doesn't take control of rematch and I'd kind of lean towards Andrade.
Personally I think Povetkin has a much better chance against him than David Haye. Wlad's trained like it's illeagal to fight on the inside and Povetkin is schooled enough to work his way around that jab and work the ribs. Plus Povetkin has shown he won't just let guy's clinch when there not in range. You've gotta have Wlad out of rhythm and break his will.
Haye on the other hand is manly only hype, just slightly a better Cruiser than Jean Mormeck. Enzo has alway been an average fighter and Monte Barret is a hand picked C level heavyweight. Sure Haye can crack and has speed but he's constantly jumps in no mans land and Wlad will have an easy time finding him with that straight right.
I had it eight rounds to four Bradley 144-112 and maybe it could have been more like nine rounds to three.
Bradley dominated the range, great to the body and was to quick with foot speed and countering. Too bad Tim's not a power puncher because he's one of the most impressive young fighters around.
Even though he hasn't fought in two years there's now doubt in my mind that Winky still can seriously fight, but Paul's style is horrible for him. With that range and the hundred punches a round, plus the way Paul's been digging to the body and pumping the jab lately. Winky doesn't have enough to keep him off him, I see this as an easy win for Paul Williams.
Personally I don't think has been all that great a commentator considering how schooled a fighter he is, from what I've seem on FNF he's constantly had problems with giving clear analysis on and just can't get to the point. Lennox Lewis is one of the worst commentators i've seen in my life so that's not much of a comparison.
Roy Jones Jr on the other hand, IMO probably the best commentator HBO has ever had. Total bullshit how HBO let him go.
Jesus, Dan Goosen has to MC that thing himself. I expect Arreola-Walker to be a barnburner. Travis Walker is no joke & Arreola has no business being in the 250's.
Aside from having his own website, who is G.Leon? How did he become an advisor? Has he always been involved in boxing? I hope so, because it doesn't make any sense for a fighter to assign someone to be his advisor just because the guy has a boxing website. If it's that easy I might as well start my own website.
LOL, if i'm thinking of the right guy, which I think I am, he started by simply posting on a boxing board called boxing.com about 6 or 7 years ago. Thats how he got started and then he got a website and happens to live in the NYC area. So hey if you stay posting on boxingscene you could be the next big time adviser. :boxing:
Personally I think Jack Loew needs to learn how to keep his mouth shut. It's not like this guy is some boxing wizard, he's had one good fighter his entire lifetime.
I like Pavlik but he should really tell his trainer to stick to training and stop popping off. If someone wants to criticize and talk shit it should be the fighters themselves because ultimately they are the ones who have to get in the ring.
Damn Cotto got seriously tatted up during that little time off. I've seen some of Jennings though, he's seriously gonna get hurt
Cotto TKO 5
Pavlik TKO 10
Duddy UD
I don't think its 100% confirmed and you never know with all that Golden Boy/Top Rank stuff going on with Manny but i'm keeping my fingers crossed because i'd love to see it.
And honesty I'd make it a 50/50 fight, with all of Berrrera's experience and ring intelligence he's more than capable of figuring out Manny's speed and surprising a lot of people.

opps I left out Hopkins, he should be top 15 no doubt and Larry Holmes should be higher.
From what I've seen of Valero I've always thought he was a disaster waiting to happen. But tonight I have to say he looks like he's tighten up that defense a little and he can obviously punch. I think mabey he can hang with some of the other top lightweights, a least for a while.
And not to get to political on these board's but even though that new tat is kinda ugly I love what it represents. The Bolivarian Revolution represents a level of Democracy that we couldn't even dream of in America. Barack's is just a business democracy and any kind of real social change is illegal among those ranks.
