    All he has to do is watch for that right-hand and he'll look a million dollars.
    Plus, Saldivia is #3 IBF, so the match-up makes sense on all fronts. Never seen him fight, but if he resembles his Argentinean contemporaries, then this will be a very stiff challenge for Brook.

      You're picking Saldivia to win even though you never seen him fight? Or did I just misunderstand you?

          Yup, another one of my blind picks lol. Jones was doing pretty well, and I assume that Saldivia can't do any worse. Not to say that Brook can't improve on his last performance. I'm picking against him outta boredom more than anything else lmao

          Like I said, if Saldivia is anything like Matthysse/Maidana/Chaves, then Brook has a real fight on his hands. I predict that his endurance/stamina will fail him and he crumbles under the pressure.

            Jones was doing well because Brook has a poor stamina. Brook dominated in the first few rounds with ease.

              I wouldn't be surprised if Brook gets Saldivia out of there within 3 rounds, even though Brook is a slow starter.

                The Ring has him as the #3 WW in the world behind Pacquiao and Mayweather.

                  I'm still not sold on him.

                  But i do like watching him fight. Tonight it will prove how good he is.

                  If doesnt need a knockout to impress me, but be able to handle the Argentine without much trouble.

                      He's good.

                      And to be fair he was on a different level to Jones until Carson broke his beak and he began to fade badly.

                      He'd KO Khan, I'm sure of it.

                      Not sure about tonight. Never seen the Argie.
