      I agree with that Rockin. Wouldn't be surprised if Castillo beats Wlad either.

      Oh, it is Tszyu, not Tzyu.

            I agree with all but three of your pics. Corrales wins, Wright wins, and Ruiz, sadly may win. Castillo Corrales is a toss-up the way I see it. I'm thinking Wright beats Tito via boxing clinic 101. And, Toney will lose because of age and rust. I can't stand Ruiz or Toney, but for the first time in my life I will be cheering on Toney cause I hate Ruiz with an unrivaled passion. He's horrible, and he talks sh&* like he's friggin Ali or something.

                  Barrera-Fana = Haven't seen Fana, can't make this pick.

                  Mosley-Estrada = Shane, with flair. He's going to put on a show and make it a memorable fight.

                  Cintrón-Margarito = can't make a pick on this one, haven't seen last few of both.

                  Wlad-Castillo = Wlad, early or mid round KO. I think he's coming back in a big way. Only seen a few clips of Castillo, but didn't see anything that Vlad would or should be concerned about. Should be an easy win.

                  Ruiz-Toney = I can't stand either, but I gotta pick Toney on this one, wide UD. I think he'll figure out a way to keep Ruiz off him.

                  Trinidad-Wright = Upset of the year, this one. Wright, wide UD, or possibly even a late TKO.

                  Hopkins-Taylor = Hopkins, though I truly believe Taylor could win if he had more experience under his belt. Unanimous decision for Hopkins, with lots of boos from the crowd.

                  Tzyu-Hatton = Tzyu. I like Hatton, but I feel he's a short step below Tszyu in pretty much every area. It won't be a blowout, but Hatton will most likely be stopped mid or late round.

                  Castillo-Corrales = Corrales. He's not the same fighter he was just a few years ago, and Castillo is the same fighter he was just a few years ago. Corrales has the advantage in speed, power, and his newly developed ring-smarts will make him the first man to stop Castillo in this match. And this could be an early stoppage, because of Castillo's love to move foward. He is going to be caught with alot of power he's just never felt before and I don't think he, or anyone else in that division, can take it.

                    I wish I agreed about Chico having a speed advantage on Castillo, but I actually think that this is the one category where Castillo has a hands down advantage. That being said, Diego is my favorite fighter and you all know who I am picking. On to the rest of them...

                    RUIZ VS TONEY: HEAVYWEIGHT
                    (My Pick): James Toney in an unexciting UD. Remember when Jones was too fast for Ruiz but did not have the power to put him down? In my humble opinion we are going to see a similar version of that here, Toney will be the faster of the two, the weaker of the two, but will do enough to win a pretty lopsided decision.

                    MARGARITO VS CINTRON: WELTERWEIGHT
                    (My Pick): In order for Kermit Cintron to win this fight I think he has to get Antonio out of there in the first half of the fight, because down the stretch he is not going to be getting the better of things. That being said... I think that will happen, and I take Kermit Cintron by KO in 5.

                    TRINIDAD VS WRIGHT: MIDDLEWEIGHT
                    (My Pick): I think this fight is going to play out in two story lines. The first will be Winky will be able to out-box and stay away from Trinidad pretty early and jump out to a fast lead on the cards. I don't think at any point will he stay stable enough to allow Trinidad to KO him. However, I think that this early lead will cause Winky to fall into the trap that some other guys who have fought Tito have fallen into and he will simply be content to stay away and not get KO'ed down the stretch. As was the case with De La Hoya and Tito, the judges will like Tito's better work in the second half of the fight and give him a close and disputed decision.

                    CORRALES VS CASTILLO: LIGHTWEIGHT
                    (My Pick): In a shocker, I am picking Chico here. I think that his power is going to be the ultimate difference in this fight. I think early on both guys will have their moments and Chico will actually be the first one to hit the canvas. However, he will climb off the floor to drop Castillo for good sometime around round 8.
