Prediction Comments

Predictions: 0 of 4 Winners, 0 Perfect, 0 Points   |   Tied for 84th

Moloney vs. Franco
Joshua Franco, TKO, R9
1st proper World Title Fight since the Lock down begun! And I think we get an AND NEW!!! Moloney is the 'home' fighter, he and his twin brother recently signing with Top Rank. But I like Franco, looking at them both I give Franco the cardio edge(always a big factor for me) and he has fought better opposition. His trilogy with Oscar Negrete was very high level. I mean Moloney is good but I got to favour Franco for the win here, possibly by late round TKO.

Diaz vs. Sanchez
Jason Sanchez, DEC
Another good fight, I'd say this is the best card overall that Top Rank have put together since coming back. Diaz was on his way to a World Title but 2 defeats put paid to that. Sanchez had a World Title fight, defeat to Oscar Valdez, no shame in that. Sanchez got that title **** off the back of a stoppage win on away soil, Puerto Rico, over highly touted undefeated Jean Carlos Rivera. Sanchez defeats another Puerto Rican here!

Contreras vs. Vargas
Miguel Contreras, DEC
Another good close fight between 2 undefeated prospects. Should be a good, close fight

Ok, definitely making it to watch this Top Rank card this week. Heck, I even made picks for it and I don't know jack squat about any of these guys. 

Hope to see some of ya around tonight, I'll be having a few drinks with it, cause why the heck not!

Dehydration issue for Adorno is reason for fight being off

Hey Meers. Yeah, the Adorno fight was cancelled only a couple hours ago. He had missed weight yesterday by a couple lbs and was meant to weigh again today at the weight. Apparently he fell ill trying to do that and the reason is he was suffering effects of severe Dehydration!  
Although you don't hear it as much Weight cutting is a problemin Boxing too!
Still some good fights, 3 of the 4 should be good, close, competitive match ups. I struggled to pick a winner which is very rare in Boxing!!

Well that was terrible!!!!! A classic case of looks being deceiving!! Stewart had the better record and looked in decent physical condition. Olguin had the 3 losses and was 290lbs of guts and man boobs!!!

The rest of the card is of a much better standard, on paper anyway!!!

This should be good
 Vargas is a good prospect. Surprised more people didn't go with him. I guess they just looked at the record

Just simply too much, too soon for Vargas here. He's got talent though, Contreras just has the experience and technique over him right now.

Yeah you're right Meers. 
I just thought the youngster Varigas would've had enough to outwork Contreras over 6 rounds.
I went with Sanchez here. The Bookies have this fight even, with some even having Sanchez as a slight favourite. 
1 reason I took. Sanchez is in the 2 defeats I seen Diaz in he looked bad, especially Ito. Also, they both have a common Opponent. They both fought a Brazilian journeyman in their last fight, Diaz went 8 rounds, Sanchez KO'd him in 4.

I initially took Sanchez and then moved off him to Diaz after looking over their records more. But I could see someone going either way and having a stronger opinion then me. I literally have never seen either of them fight before.

This is another fight when after a few minutes I'm regretting my choice! Sanchez needs to make it dirty. Standing on the outside he's gonna get picked apart all night!

Thought Sanchez starting listening to you Mikey in the 2nd half of that last round. Made it a little more of a brawl and clinch fight. Needs to do a lot more of that though.
