fukk Salido

5-1-2

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

Only HBO/Showtime fights count

Damn well that sucks...I guess my nikkas with AWE channel can't eat. It's all good though. For my own personal record I keep track of all the significant fights and Burns/Crawford was significant and limiting a prediction thread to just Showtime and HBO is kinda when good bouts will pop up just about anywhere.

Lomachenko let me down though.

 

[InvictusAeternusEternus]

6-1

Salido came through

6-1

Salido came through

I'm 6-1 thanks to Lomachenko getting that work and losing. Made me lose my "0"

after sat night nikkas will get all 4 or be 3-1 it looks like being there's mixed opinions about Molina-charlo lol....I have a feeling an upset is going to happen and im looking canelo-angulo and/or arakawa-linares :patrice

 

[ChocolateGiddyUp]

I've been thinking arakara as an upset but who knows how much was taken out of him in that classic war

 

[King P]

I'm just not sold on either Charlo. And I'm not a big Molina fan, but he's faced (and beaten) better opponents than Jermall.

I was wrong picking against Jermell, but I think I'll be right this time against Jermall

 

[GREENandYELLOW]

Which one is supposed to be the better Charlo...it's Jermall right?
I thought a veteran Rosado would be too much too early for Jermell and I was wrong - Jermell smoked him.
Molina is a good fighter...but I'll go with the if Jermall is going to be a player in the division and show skills similar to his brother, I think he can win this.

The Linares-Arakawa one seems tough. Arakawa was just in that brutal fight and didn't show a ton of power in that fight...which is one of Linares' weaknesses. I'll go Linares because his resume is decent enough, he should be fresher, and he is the more "well known" fighter.

The Canelo-Angulo fight is a fun one too. Angulo is not pushover and he gives it everything he has, so I wouldn't be surprised for an upset. Angulo plays into Canelo's strengths more, were a Mayweather or Lara fight I think are bad matchups for him. Canelo has power and is physically very strong.
