    Pavlik vs. Lockett will be very entertaining, since both have aggresssive come-forward styles and are strong punchers. It will likely end in a KO, probably for Pavlik.

    Williams vs. Quintana is a close to even matchup - a 50-50 fight I think. It won't have the fireworks of Pavlik vs. Lockett, but will be interesting nontheless.

    Those are the two I'm eagerly anticipating. I hope Wiliams vs. Quintana is on Showtime before the Forrest fight, so I can watch this live before switching over to the HBO broadcast.

    I don't know much about Lopez, but he probably has a good chance of defeating the aggressive but crude Ponce de Leon if he can avoid being hit.

    Forrest should outclass Mora and cruise to a wide UD. It will likely be the least entertaining fight.

      I'm most excited to see Lopez/De Leon. I have watched the last 6-7 fights Lopez has been in on TV and youtube and the kid looks like he has the goods. I'm anticipating a spectacular breakthrough victory for him tonight if he is what I think he is. De Leon always comes to run over whoever he fights, so you know the fight won't be light on action.

      Quintana/Williams comes next. I'm interested to see if Williams can make ANY strategic changes from one fight to the next and in-fight changes for that matter. The last fight was pretty decent to watch from an action standpoint, I think this one will only be better as Williams will force Quintana to fight more.

        I took 6-1 odds and Mora winning by decision. He was 3-1 straight up, which wasn't appealing enough. I can't see him stopping Forrest, so I feel pretty good that if he does win, it will be by decision. Of course a few years ago I bet on Hatton to beat Tszyu by decision. It looked real good until KT sat on his stool before the last round.

          Mora's going to have to have the fight of his life because judges seem to like Forrest. He does enough of the flashy things and hangs around so any close call is going to go to Forrest.

          6-1 by decision them's good odds for giving it a whirl and hope Forrest got old or takes one too many rounds off. His last couple of fights he hasn't though.

          Not surprised by your pick at all. You seem to have a natural antipathy for the Viper (seem to remember that maybe since the Mosley fights)

              In full disclosure, I have never been a fan of Vernon Forrest as either a fighter or a person. I'm ambivalent concerning Mora.

                Definitely Williams/Quintana for me, it's really hard to pick the winner of this fight.
