    Castillo vs. Diaz / Lacy vs. Williams

    First off, we have Diaz, a young bull stepping up to the plate, the betting odds are in favor of Diaz thus far, this is bound to fluctuate near fight time though, however I'm sure Diaz will be favored.

    My pick?

    I look at it from a general standpoint. You have Castillo, a guy who picks shots very well and knows how to relax in there, who also punches with respectable force, but with all his experience, he likely will not take chances against a young bull like Diaz. Then you have Diaz, a young bull who is relatively inexperienced, extremely strong, who is looking to take the guy out early. Diaz also swims, so you know he has that extremely powerful punch.

    However..I predict Diaz will be on the verge of coming in and attempting to destroy Castillo, when, he gets caught with a shot from Castillo trying to deliver a punch of his own. This is my prediction. I believe the powerpuncher will generate the very leverage that will put him out, when Castillo connects with the shot in the fifth round, you'll see Diaz coming in with a left or right hook and just having generated power from his legs, he will get stopped by what appears to be not even a huge punch from Castillo.


    ------------------------

    Lacy vs Williams

    Lacy again the huge favorite. Everyone thinks it will be an easy KO for Lacy because Williams was stopped in the first round against a guy that doesn't even have an impressive KO record. The thing is, in my opinion, Lacy will get very frustrated and waste lots of energy, after all, he does have a hunter-gatherer mentality..isn't exactly an intelligent fighter..

    My pick?

    I think Williams has learned a lot from that bout he got KO'd in, and will outbox Lacy, winning a split decision, breaking the undefeated Lacy's record. He's with Steward now, and that is a true student of the game. Make no mistake about it, they have brought in stalking slugger after stalking slugger honing William's skills for tonight's fight.
    ----------------------------------------------

    I hope you all enjoy tonight's card as much as I will.

      That seems to be the majority pick, I guess we will just have to see what happens.

        I've see Rubin Williams fight and he seems like the type of guy that will get taken out by Lacy very early, I don't think the fight will last anymore than three or four rounds. As for Diaz/Castillo I think Diaz will look pretty good early but Castillo will be able to pound him away on the inside and win via a late stopage

          I say Lacy by knockout.

          I pick Castillo by decision. I think in the end his strength will be too much for Diaz who is a good boxer. I think Diaz gives Castillo some problem just like Casamayor did but I don't think Diaz is as good as Casamayor who I thought beat Castillo in December. Everybody seems to be picking Castillo by knockout but I think it will be a decision. I have always said Castillo's power was underrated but now it seems people are starting to overrate his power.

            His loss against Epifanio Mendoza, ko in round one, definately brings up a questionmark about his chin.

              I like lacy against williams

              I think Castillo is gonna work Diaz the way he did lazcano. If he wins this then beats corrales, maybe he'll get the other diaz after that. if he wins all of those fights thatll finally get him the recognition he deserves.
