I agree with the staff prediction results. I think Morales-Garcia will be a close fight in the first 3/4's of the fight. When the rounds 9/10 come around, expect Garcia to turn it up a gear with his youth and overall athletic and size advantage to close the last 3-4 rounds convincingly, to win a pretty competitive, but clear decision win for Garcia.
Kirkland-Molina. I feel Molina's style could pose some issues for Kirkland. Keyword though, "some" issues, that I believe Kirkland will overcome with his raw physical strength, and athleticism. Expect Molina to struggle to keep Kirkland at range, and ultimately get smothered, broken down en route to about a 7th-8th round stoppage.
I do have a feeling though, that Kirkland will come in and steamroll Molina early on before Molina can get into his rhythm. I just feel that given the style matchup in physical style terms, Kirkland could get to Molina before Molina could find his rhythm and range, and ultimately TKO Molina very early, and leave everyone with the thought of "wow, that quick? Unexpected. Fight barely got started" kind of feeling. But if Molina does find his rhythm and makes a fight out of it, I do expect Kirkland to find him and stop him later on, as I said at first. Just a feeling though, that this could end way earlier then expected. Could be wrong, but well, we'll see.
