Elvis Rodriguez, DEC
Elvis is back in the building!!!! This kid Elvis Rodriguez has had 3 back to back to back KO of the year contenders!!!! He definitely has a lot of potential. He is not just a power puncher either, he has a long and successful amateur career and you can see that he has solid fundamentals in setting up his shots. The fact that his last 4 KO's are by Left Hook, Body Shot, Straight Right and a Power Jab show that he has a full arsenal.
He is now at the stage of his career where its time to take a step up in competition. You wouldn't think it by looking at the 17-16 record but Cameron Krael is a step up. He is the definition of a savvy vet! He has defeated many a young prospect and he is a very good test for any young boxer. If Elvis can finish Krael it will be a statement. I kinda want to see this go the distance just to see if Elvis has the stamina and the temperament to handle Krael who will be pulling out all the old tricks to try and frustrate Elvis.
So I am interested in this one

Ruben Villa, DEC
Vacant WBO World Featherweight Title on the line here. Navarrete was the 5x defending Super Bantamweight Champ but vacated the belt as the weight cut was too much. He has been 1 of my favourite Champions to watch over the last few years, he has been very active fighting 3 to 4x a year(a lot for a modern day Champ!) His fighting style matches this, he is a combination puncher whose volume increases as the fight goes on. I've seen him throw 20 punch combo's before!! He just builds and builds trying to, and most of the time successfully, overwhelming opponents for a mid to late round stoppage. 1 thing though, his strength of competition since winning the belt has not been the greatest to say the least!!!
Ruben Villa is a very skilled boxer, as someone else pointed out he has a very decorated amateur career. He is not a puncher, not at all! But this is not a problem as he easily out boxes his opponents to wide points wins. He is going to have to put on a career best performance to keep Navarrete at bay because he is relentless!
I think Villa is a far better technical boxer than Navarrete and he could easily jab his way to a wide points victory. I'm just not sure if he can keep Navarrete off him for the full 12 rounds??

You are doing the right thing by betting on method and rounds.
Saying that I do really think Villa is a live underdog tonight. For all Navarrete pressure and pace he isn't exactly a technically skilled boxer and his opponents have been pretty weak for World title level, even for boxing!!!!
I am really close to betting on Villa to win a decision by just outboxing and exposing Navarretes technical deficiencies. Not sure though!!!

Radical New Predictions
Predictions: 3 of 3 Winners, 1 Perfect, 175 Points | Tied for 86th
I select Janibek Alimkhanuly at -1400. He has a nutty quivering palm death touch. Alimkhanuly won't ruin the chosen one.
Rodriguez vs. Krael
I want Elvis Rodriguez at -2000. He has an intelligent double knife hand block. Rodriguez must coach the crowd noise.
Villa vs. Navarrete
I fancy Emanuel Navarrete at -300. He has a killer harai goshi. Navarrete will likely screw the foe.

I am looking forward to this fight, Simpson vs Douversonne.
Simpson is the favourite but Sunny is undefeated, the fact he has an 80" reach stood out to me. If he can use that reach then he could make this interesting
