Prediction: correct Saunders   wrong Decision  

A very tough fight to pick. Both fighters have been doing really good. Santos has more fights, but I think that Saunders has faced the better opposition. I also think that Saunders is the younger, bigger, stronger WW. I really like Santos, but I think that Saunders is going to take this one by decision.

Prediction: correct Saunders   wrong KO/TKO   correct Round 3  

i'll take saunders b/c he is taller and will get the clnch to neutralize any kick attempts by santos. i think that will be his gameplan. santos has some deadly kicks.

Hmm. I don't know about that, Santos looked absolutely awesome against Hornbuckle. I'm a fan of both guys, I don't know who to pick.

I think Saunders will win this one. Both men are the same height, however Saunders comes into a fight particularly big, and he will have a good reach advantage in this one.

I picked Saunders, purely because he had the better quality opposition.  This should be a good fight though, and I'm looking forward to watching it.  I like Saunders more and more here recently.  He seems to be working hard on improving his game.
