      donaire vs rigondeaux.


      don't get me wrong, i always thought donaire was a limited guy. there are dozens of posts from me prior to that fight detailing my stance on donaire. i didn't think rigondeaux could put things together for 12 rounds. he hadn't done it previously. he'd only looked great in spots. against donaire he looked great for 12 rounds. great. top 5 p4p type skills and power. i didn't think he had that in him, and was wrong. i picked donaire to lose several rounds before catching rigondeaux with something huge and stopping him. he caught him with something big when he dropped him, but rigondeaux didn't take it flush, and he got back up.

      i still think his chin is going to get him in trouble. he doesn't take punches well. he's tough as they come, and experienced enough to weather a storm, but his chin isn't good.

          Garcia-Matthysse

          Pac-Marquez 4, thought there was no possible way either guy would get knocked out.

          Froch-Abraham

          Roy-Tarver 2

          Hopkins-Pascal

          Forrest-Mosley

                Most recently. Cloud/Stevenson. Thought Cloud would be way more competitive.

                  Most recently would have to Garcia vs Lucas, i was giving Garcia a chance but i did pick Lucas by KO. I also was certain that Maidana was going to KO Khan and Pavlik was going to KO Old Hopkins. I almost got one of those right but got the other one badly wrong. Ended Pavlik's career pretty much.
