I think Winky makes it ROUGH for Pauly. He'll slip and slide and block shots and counter all day. He'll be irritating and hold a lot like any old slick boxer, but I think Williams is busier and wins a close unanimous decision. Carlos Quintana effectively slipped Williams's shots in Pauly's one loss, but Winky, while able, is damn old, hasn't fought in like a year and a half, already injured himself in camp, and has fluctuated weight all over. Should be a dull fight. Lets matchup Williams with the other hot shot Middles like Pavlik or Abraham. That would be interesting. But this is still a test he's gotta pass.

Yes. Hopefully whoever is involved with even starting this rumor should get sued and sanctioned by all of the gay sanctioning bodies, even if they aren't fighters. Sanction this gay rumor. Lets keep Tyson talk to a minimum here folks.

Nope! How awesome is that? I think it will be fight of the year unless Izzy Vasquez and JuanMa's bro hook up for a fourth time. Diaz has always been a favorite of mine, and I would love to see him take back some of the glory lost in that Campbell fight.

Yeah, I think the Cotto - Clottey fight happens. Clottey reps the BX and Cotto brings the ricans out in droves so I can't see how Bob Arum doesn't set that one up at the Garden. Both promo-ed by Top Rank too. It's not like Miguel has a Margarito rematch to worry about. They ought to do this one for the PR Parade.

Supposedly the reason Clottey and Pauly haven't gotten together is some beef between Dan Goosen and Bob Arum. Gay.

But I cant see why you want that beanpole fighting welters.

Great fight between Diaz and Marquez. Diaz was overwhelming Marquez by the volume of his punches, by moving forward and by connecting regularly with a solid (though not great) left hook. But Marquez started making the adjustment, hitting Diaz with the harder shots and doubling up on the uppercuts, which was the punch he ended the fight with ... a killer blow.

Kinda wish I got that British ppv card. Khan knocked out MAB? Plus Nicky Cook went down? Sounds like quality TV.

Haye v. Wlad Klitschko June 20.
http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing ... id=4034880

Color me excited, although I really think Haye has a hard time getting inside on Wlad, and will the Brit survive one of those rights?

I'm excited to see Taylor v. Froch.

Froch fights with intensity and throws and Taylor has lately too. Should be a good match up.

Honestly that whole card is pretty good on April 25 on showtime.

They got Dominick Guinn fighting, Paulie Mallanagia, and Allan Green. Good stuff. Great fighters.

Yeah, should be dope, although I see Jermaine taking care of business. He looked sharp against a (admittedly shitty) Jeff Lacy.

Don't forget JuanMa Lopez vs. Gerry Penalosa on HBO too. JuanMa is the next Trinidad, except with more one-punch power.
