The Big Weekend!!!!

The Big Weekend.

boxing first, of course

stevens-mack: stevens is heavily hyped and i dont know why. he is average, i even think his power is overated. its easy to get KO's when fighting guys that have little to no skill. mack isnt a world beater but he is a bit better than stevens. mack pays +115.

lawrence-guinn: i bet against guinn vs. page and almost won a big upset (ive read that page and i were robbed) guinn is now just fighting to get a paycheck. lawrence may have gotten knocked cold in his last fight but ive seen that happen plenty of times to guys and they recover. lawrence was always a defensive first fighter anyways and guinn will probally help him out by only throwing 20-30 punches a round. lawrence pays +200

kirkland-lyell: kirkland has all the skill needed to win easy. pays only -1100

bradley-garnica: it depends what garnica shows up. the portly slow garnica that got KO'ed by mike rosales, or the counterpuncher that beat up mausa and was robbed vs. lazcano? neither of those guys have much anymore though. bradley is a fireplug and will be a contender for years to come, i think he makes a statement with this win. bradley pays -200

baloyi-ruiz: ruiz is not as bad as his record and baloyi is not as good as his. however ruiz makes it a habit of losing decisions in his opps backyard. chances are he will lose another whether he deserves it or not. baloyo pays -875

ali-o'neal: easy money here. ali should win just as easy as she did a few years ago. we need uglier, tougher women to fight. watching these same ladies fight over and over makes womens boxing almost impossible to watch. ali pays -7000

adamek-dawson: dawson is still a +160 dog. this should be an even fight. adamek has fought and beat the better comp. but those guys had a style that suits his. its easy to get the tough wins when your opps. style fits yours so well. adameki has heart and a good punch but dawson will be the first guy he has fought that can box circles around him. im all over dawson at +160

diaz-chavez: ive seen too many guys lose their edge after an opponent dies. chavez seems like he may be one of those, top that off with the fact that he has been plagued with injuries and diaz has impressed me allot lately, ill take diaz at -140spinks-jones: why the hell is spinks only -260? jones and spinks have close to the same style, however spinks is allot faster. spinks will win this by scores of 118-110, 119-109 and that sort.

rabah-ndou: a pick'em. i like ndous take all comers attitude and his underdog odds so ill go with him paying +115. i have no real rhyme or reason for doing so though.
