Saul Álvarez, DEC
The southpaw Saunders is gonna try to work for a knockout but Alvarez should be able to overwhelm Billy Joe Saunders with his body shots and will take it to a comfortable decision. This body work strategy is working very well for Canelo and I think he will be able to utilize it here.

Saul Álvarez, DEC
Billy Joe Saunders is a serious threat and could beat Saul Álvarez if Canelo is on anything less than top form but Canelo has been very active recently and that combined with his vast experience will prove a bit too much for Saunders IMO.

Billy Joe Saunders, DEC
I have a long tradition of picking Canelo to lose!!! I picked Smith, Kovalev, Jacobs, GGG(I was right 1x!),Lara,Cotto etc. I never picked Yildirim but Come ON! Why change now???
Soto vs. Takayama
Katsunari Takayama, DEC
I don't rate Soto much(by World Champion standards). I thought Buitrago beat him last time, he should have lost the Acosta fight! The ref stopped it with a minute left and Acosta on his feet and well ahead. Thing is Soto can CRACK!! It's what saved him many times. Takayama is good, he's old!!! He is a multiple time World Champion, he was retired but came back last year and easily beat a good guy, looking good doing it. I really think Takayama will outbox Soto here. Its just a worry about Soto catching him early or late as he carries power.
Conway vs. Cissokho
Kieron Conway, TKO, R8
Outside of the main event this is the fight that I'm most interested in.
Davis vs. Quinonez
Keyshawn Davis, TKO, R2
Keyshawn Davis is going to win a World Title, calling it now!
Davis vs. Maršálek
Kelvin Davis, DEC
Davis is actually 1-0. Not sure why but Tapology has took his amateur record off BoxRec??? Davis is Keyshawn brother (maybe cousin??) but he ain't nowhere near as good!

Elwin Soto, DEC
If Takayama was a few years younger I would pick him in this fight. He has faced stiffer competition for longer, Japanese matchmaking is no joke

I can't get enough of Saul Álvarez at -600. He has a tremendous leaping clothesline and a faux counter left. Álvarez might vaporize the senses.
