Pac vs Bradley II: I already bet on this fight, Pac by KO or UD at +140 is a steal. The only real purpose of having a rematch is b/c Pac got robbed in the first fight, which says a lot. This wouldn't be happening if he got the decision.
Pac owned him in literally every area of the fight, and yes I know Bradley was pretty badly injured. Pac has this again, by close UD (116-112 2x, 115-113). He won't stop Timmy IMO, b/c Bradley is tough as f*ck.
Froch vs Groves II: I want Groves to win. I'm rooting for him to win, but I'm not sure yet. Froch's history has shown he's going to have major issues w/ guys who are fast and athletic (e.g.Dirrell, Groves, Taylor, etc..).
I think Groves can repeat what he did in the first fight for sure, especially considering Frochs' age may be catching up to him. But I can't rely on Groves chin/stamina.
Despite the stoppage being terrible, Groves was getting extremely tired and he was hurt at the time of the stoppage. I guess I slightly favor Groves, but I'm 50/50 on the fight right now.
GGG vs JCCJR: Golovkin is better at everything. He's smarter and more technical, which is the biggest thing to me. Chavez Jr has the size advantage, but that's it. I think GGG stops Chavez Jr in the mid-to-late rounds on a pity stoppage by the ref or corner of a great fight.
Hopkins vs Shumenov: Shumenov is a pretty good fighter, definitely much better than Karo Murat. Hopkins will win a typical Hopkins fight here; a cagey, smart, tactical and sometimes ugly (but clear) decision.
Cotto vs Martinez: If Martinez shows up healthy and close to 100%, I think he'll stop Cotto and handle him. Cotto is SO small compared to Martinez, it's a very big difference.
His face falls apart when the wind blows, his chin is erratic, he's small, etc....whereas Sergio is big, durable, fast, hard hitting and has dealt with bigger pressure fighters.
Cotto could definitely win, especially if Sergio can't get over his injuries and the age factor has caught up with him. BUT, Cotto has looked like sh*t for awhile, and if he didn't run through Delvin (a B level fighter at best) then this fight wouldn't be considered nearly as good IMO.
Sergio by TKO.
DeGale vs Gonazales: I'm extremely confident in DeGale to win, probably by wide decision. I've never been impressed with Gonzales, he's boring and can never put it all together. DeGale is a horrible matchup for him, although any high level fighter would be.
Geale vs Macklin: Hard fight to pick, good matchup. I slightly favor Geale, better boxer IMO. Problem is that Geale tends to give up rounds and is never a guy who never really dominates.
Macklin is going to be very competitive even if he loses, so this fight is a toss up. Knee jerk reaction is Geale by SD or MD.
Jennings vs Perez: Love this fight. Perez is a better and more talented fighter, but he's fat/lazy and looked terrible in his last fight (I had him losing).
I think it'll be close b/c it's an evenly matched fight, but Perez will walk Jennings down and win a decision based on being more aggressive and pressing the action.
Fury vs Chisora II: I like Del Boy by knockout. Fury is a -215 favorite right now, which I don't understand. I understand that Chisora has been inconsistent sometimes, but he also wouldn't get hurt and be in a fire fight w/ a f*cking bum like Joey Abell. Del Boy is a better fighter, has a better chin and will stop Fury IMO.
Canelo vs Lara: GREAT fight, I love that it's finally happening. It's a toss up, but I think Canelo will knock Lara out.
For all the talent that Lara has, he's got a deceiving record. Firstly, he got a major gift against Carlos Molina, who to be fair is hard for anyone to look good against. It was still a gift decision though, so that's one loss Lara should have right there.
Number two, the Angulo fight. I'm sorry, but that style matchup was perfect for Lara, yet he went life and death w/ Perro. If he doesn't turn his back on Lara from that injury, then who knows what would've happened?
Lara was down on two cards (I believe) and that fight was up in the air. So basically, if Angulo can drop Lara twice and give him a big run for his money, I think Canelo can win a decision if not stop him.
Frampton vs Santa Cruz: Love, love love love this fight. Both are complete beasts. I've said this before, best action fight you can make at 122lb, and best fight at that weight not involving Rigo.
I favor Leo, but Frampton can hit HARD and Leo hasn't faced anyone like that yet. On the flip side, I don't know if Frampton can deal with all that volume. So I like Leo, but this fight may be the one I'm looking forward to most at this point, next to GGG vs JCCJR and Martinez vs Cotto.
Okay, that was a lot of writing lol. /ranting

Pacquiao vs Bradley: I got Pacquiao winning a SP. Timmy didn't win the 1st and didn't do enough at all.
Groves should win he was doing good but then again he gassed and got a terrible stoppage.
Chavez Jr has the size advantage and explosiveness to trouble GGG and be his real first test. GGG is good boxer but we don't know how well hell perform at 168. He could lose speed, even power or not be comfortable. So I got Chavez outgunning GGG.
Shumenov is underrated and I got him against Hopkins, because I can't stand Hopkins.
Martinez has all the advantages at Middleweight its not even funny. He has the size, height, length, reach, experience, versatility, better boxing skills, and movement. Cotto is not suited for 160 at all. I got Martinez possibly stopping him.
Degale and Gonzales is an even match to me. I had Gonzales beating Tommy Gun last year but he got a draw.
Macklin by UD
Perez and Jennings should be an interesting matchup. Its even if Perez is serious.
