Antuefermo a little too busy for Hamsho.

Aaron Pryor vs. Meldrick Taylor at 140lbs.

Taylor by narrow decision.

Hector Camacho vs Manny Pacquiou at 135.

12 Rounds.

Pacquiao stops Camacho in eleven.

Kostya Tszyu vs. Alexis Arguello --- 12 rounds at Jr. Welterweight.

nice one. i don't think AA gets stopped here despite KT's power, KT doesn't have the foot/handspeed or workrate to swarm AA or the finesse to outcute him. he's the naturally bigger man than AA I'd say but Alexis' reach and great jab could give him problems. I always think of swarmers giving either men their biggest problems so its difficult to think who wins here.

I think KT takes it narrowly on the basis of a slight power advantage, close UD.

Next up:


Lupe Pintor - Rafael Marquez at 118lbs

Pintor (underrated figther!) takes it in a scintillating battle 8)

Antwun Echols vs. Jermain Taylor at Middleweight.

Antwun Echols vs. Jermain Taylor at Middleweight.

Jermain Taylor in UD.

Echols has his moments but his out-boxed, and struggles at the end since he is weight drained.

Greg Page V Chagaev - Both Prime

12 Rounds.

Page manes to out box Chagave, in a boring but
some what even fight.
Page UD12.

Ugly, ugly match-up, which London takes on points in a close fight.

Prime Naseem Hamed vs. Current Michael Katsidis at Lightweight.

Prince Naseem wins my stoppage in middle rounds. Katsidis manages to knock down the Prince atleast once thanks to the Prince's provaktive defence, but is over all outclassed.

Berbick V Corbett (12 rounds)

Corbett boxes & clinches his way to a UD over the frustrated & inconsistent Berbick.

Aaron Pryor vs. Ray Mancini at 135...

Pryor and Mancini hammer each other until Pryor's speed, aided by his magic bottle of mysterious liquid, helps him score a 10th round cut-eye TKO

Next
Luis Manuel Rodriquez vs. Felix Sturm, not in Germany

Good fight, with Rodriguez's superior footwork and handspeed allowing him to get off to a good lead and win a decision.


Next up: Eusebio Pedroza vs. Salvador Sanchez. The unification fight that never happened.

Sanchez wins spilt descision...

Jack Dempsey VS Jack Johnson

Jack Dempsey VS Jack Johnson

Jack johnson with a UD. Dempsey has his moments, but overall Jack Johnson controls the fight.

Kevin Kelley (prime) V David Diaz (Prime)

observer1 wrote:Kevin Kelley (prime) V David Diaz (Prime)

Was Kelley ever a lightweight while in his prime? Anyway, I'll take the bigger, stronger Diaz to bull his way to a decision.


Next up: Kostya Tszyu vs. Meldrick Taylor.

Next up: Kostya Tszyu vs. Meldrick Taylor.

It's been done a couple times, already, but I'm yet to opine. I lean toward a Taylor decision, 7-5ish, but Tszyu could win a rematch. Patient, sharp & on-song, I could see Tszyu perhaps winning one of three against the ultra-slick Taylor of the late 80's.

Erik Morales vs. Diego Corrales at 130lbs.

i'll go with Diego to take it by 11th rd tko.

Danny Lopez vs Alexis Arguello at 126.

15 Rounds.

Arguello by Ko in the 11th. War from the start, with Lopez landing his big right frequently but Arguello ending it with a left hook/upper cut along the ropes, the third knockdown in the round

next up
Jeff Fenech (1987) Vs Israel Vasquez (2008)

Fenech takes it by a relatively close but clear cut UD.Both boxers get knocked down.
Fenech early(rd3) and then Vasquez later on(rd8).Fenech,the naturally bigger and stronger of the two,finishes
the last two rounds looking especially dominant.Vasquez decides to stick to jr.fw after the final bell.


Bernard Hopkins vs Sultan Ibragomov

Hopkins is now a HW. He is not even a CruiserWeight.... So this makes no sense mate.

At HW, Ibragimov
At a Catch Weight, Hopkins.

Howard Eastman V Chris Eubank. (Middleweight) 12 Rounds.

observer1.two words...Chris Byrd....

oh...two more words for ya...Michael Moorer. 8)

BHop weighed 180 going into the ring in the Pavlik bout.

He walks around at 190,no?

So what's another 10 lbs on top of allready in good shape walk around weight?

catchweight?...like,Sultan draining down to 195 or something?
that just doesnt seem fair.

Think about it...BHop comes in at 201,Sultan comes in at his usual 215-220.
Whats the big freakin deal man? ;;-)

They're reaches are similiar.Sultan's only an inch taller...No Problemo right?

I would actually call it 50-50.
I'd go out on a limb and say it winds up a draw!



back to you're hypo:

I'd pick Eubank to win by thrilling late round KO. 8)


next hypo:

James Toney vs David Tua

10 Rounds.
