There would be a lot of money in the grudgematch. Hopefully neither one will price themselves out of the fight.

He is too out of shape to beat the top Heavies....

He has a lot of talent, and power....but unfortunately....a lot of gut...

I hope Haye-Wlad or Haye-Vitali gets made.

I think that if Haye beats Valuev (which in all fairness he should do) then I think he can sit down and negotiate with the Klit brothers from a stronger position than they were going to let him before.

Was just reading that Hopkins-Jones II has been signed for next year provided Jones wins his fight at the end of this year.

Hopkins will win it.

And if there's a trilogy, the third fight too.

Anyone else disagree with my predictions for tonight?

I wish the fight would have been made 6-7 years ago.

Hopkins might be favored...I would agree

I guess for me it would depend on if Roy's chin has recovered. He has not been the same since coming down from Heavyweight.

I also wonder when Hopkins is going to get old in the ring.

Watching Vitali-Arreola now.

As predicted so far. Matter of time until Cristobal is knocked out.

I wonder which Taylor will show up....

The enigma in this whole thing....is Ward....will he live up to the hype, or is he being thrust into the lion's den too early...

Ward I hear is probably the best of the three Americans.

But against Kessler...? He's going up against a guy that went toe-to-toe with Calzaghe and came out with dignity intact. It's going to be a stern test, especially against most peoples', including mine's, favourite for the tournament.

Oh yes, on the mark is me!

As an added bonus, I've won money on this.

Not that I'm promoting gambling, but it's awesome when you win mischief

Direlle (Sp?) was physically ready, but not mentally. He wasn't mature enough to Frock this early.

The ref should have penalized him early on, then maybe we would have seen a good fight...

on another note...

Abraham was the better fighter, in a close fight....and got the KO...he definitely made a statement..

BUT,

Did Jermain Taylor know it was not illegal to throw a right hand in a Grman boxing ring?

AA was open for a right hook, or right hand lead all night!!


Also....I agree that Kessler might be a little too much for a young Ward...I think it will be a good fight though.

So glad they came up with the idea for this tournament. It's produced brutal knockouts and drama already grin

Pacquiao/Cotto comming up....this should be a great fight....

This is the fight people need to tune into....since, unfortunately, Haye/Valuev was a snooze fest.
