David Haye Vs. John Ruiz : Prediction

David Haye defends his WBA Heavyweight title against mandatory challenger John "The Quietman" Ruiz which promises to be a good fight. Can home advantage get Haye past Ruiz, or will the quietman pull an upset win and take the title away from him. Lets have a look on how the fight will unfold

Haye comes to this fight having registered some impressive wins and set some good records for British boxing. 13 straight wins, his last one against the giant Valuev will make Haye the favorite going into this fight. Haye is a good boxer, possessing hand speed and punch power that wobbled Russian giant Valuev and with home advantage, he will up his game, despite reports quoting flab & complacency. Ruiz, the heavyweight controversy king goes into this fight as the unfavored underdog. Ruiz has more notable losses (twice against Valuev & once against Jones Jr.) than wins, as his most impressive win came against Andrew Golota. Known to resort to dirty tactics in some fights, Ruiz has always been a tough fighter to put down. Try as you might, his willpower always takes him through.

Expect the first 4 rounds to be fun to watch, as Haye will look to put an impressive performance for his fans, and Ruiz will look to spoil the atmosphere. 5th round onwards, Haye's impressive boxing skills will take over, throwing 1,2 power punches and move away before Ruiz can react. This will go on till round 8 & 9 where Ruiz will get desperate. Ultimately, Haye will prevail ans score a unanimous decision victory

Bernard Hopkins Vs. Roy Jones Jr. : Prediction

i kinda feel sad for Jones Jr. He's ego is still the size of a watermelon but his skills are as depleted as a sun-dried tomato. It is that ego which made him sign this rematch against Hopkins. lets break it down and see how the fight will unfold.

Coming into this fight, Jones Jr. was handed one of the most humiliating defeats in his career at the hands of Green via a first round KO. He remains bullish on his chances of defeating Hopkins but deep inside, he has doubts. Unlike Jones, Hopkins has aged gracefully and is still #4 in the pound for pound ranking. Back to back wins against Pavlik & Ornelas suggest he is still revving at high numbers. Jones has been KO'ed twice while Hopkins losses are by decisions.

I can see Jones making a better start than he did against Green. both fighters will be cautios in the first 3 rounds before making some bold moves. From then on, Hopkins will use his superior boxing skills & technical abilities to punish Jones. in the 7-8 rounds, Jones will be exhausted and will start making mistakes. the fight will be won in rounds 9 or 10 by Bernard Hopkins. Jones Jr. will announce his retirement from boxing.

Lights Out On Fast Eddie

Another win is racked up by Dr. Wladimir as he knocks the wind out of Eddie Chambers in the 12th round to leave him hanging on the rope for a good minute. Eddie basically fell like a sack of potatoes and was twitching, as he received a powerful left hook from Wladimir. Although not the impressive win everyone was hoping for, Wladimir still has cemented himself as an untouchable in the Heavyweight scene

Klitschko Vs. Chambers Prediction

Step up Eddie Chambers, the latest man to try his luck and stop one of the dominating forces in Boxing history, the Klitscho brothers. Eddie takes on Wladimir in Germany and will try to pull off a shock victory but is he biting off more than he can chew?

Eddie is know for his speed in the heavyweight division and together with his boxing skills, has seen some impressive wins being racked up by the little man against bigger opponents. Against Klitschko however, Eddie will be facing a fighter whom is bigger, taller and has a longer reach than he does. Klitschko, since employing Emanuel Steward has looked like an unstoppable machine and will be more than ready come fight night.

Chambers will have his moments as he tries his best to outbox Klitschko and might even drop the big man once during the early rounds, but Wladimir will come back stronger and force a stoppage in the latter rounds. Wladimir TKO

What Now For Magnificent Manny?

Pacquiao crossed out yet another big welterweight from his list of opponents as he cruised to a lopsided unanimous decision victory over Joshua "Peak-a-boo Master" Clottey. Credit to Pacquiao for giving non-stop action for 12 rounds but the fight was however pretty dull

So what now for Pacquiao? well his time from boxing will be put on hold up till November as he runs for congress in the Philippines. It will be the longest time Pacquiao has taken a break from boxing, leaving us having to watch re-runs of his previous fights.

When he does return however, who should/would he face?

Floyd Mayweather

Theres no need to profile this fight as we know all about it. everyone in the world, boxing fans or not wants to see this happen, so please don't keep us waiting again.

Sugar Shane Mosley

If by some miraculous reason Mayweather lost his fight in May, then Mosley will be the no brainer choice. A much more exciting fight is promised as these two engaging fighters battle it out for supremacy.

Timothy Bradley

It would be an exciting fight wouldn't it? Pacquiao taking on a young American hotshot. This fight would be a much better fight than a bout with either Marquez or Valero. The only problem is can Tim make welterweight by November?

Edwin Valero

This guy does not deserve a shot just yet. Fans would be booing Pacquiao if he did take Valero on for his next fight. Why not put Valero against Devon Alexander first as a gauge?

Antonio Margarito

I wouldn't mind seeing this fight. Margarito's a big welterweight and has a huge mexican following which would make the Dallas stadium as the venue. Should be a better fight than Marquez

Devon Alexander

Again, Pacquiao taking on a young American hotshot in Devon would please the public and quell rumors that Pacquiao cherry-picks his opponents

Clottey dissapoints the world

Another welterweight comes and goes, with his head down in disappointment as he fails to stop the Pac. Joshua Clottey employed the wrong strategy in the fight and it cost him dearly. Never again will he have a chance to fight one of the top fighters or a world title fight. If he would have thrown at least 150 punches more, it would have been somewhat of an exciting fight. In front of a sell out crowd of 51'000 the 3rd biggest in Texas, Clottey used his favored peek-a-boo defense all night long and only managed a measly 33 shots per round.

I only see clottey going downwards from here. HBO will most likely think twice about broadcasting his fights and Bob Arum will have a tough time negotiating prize money against future opponents. He's a noble fighter with criminal tactics, and i guess it's safe to say we wont hear much more of this Ghanian clamshell again.

Manny Pacquiao Vs. Joshua Clottey : Pre Fight Analysis

Agonizing hours of waiting for this fight has come and gone. This Saturday, Ghanaian tank Josh Clottey will get a chance in a lifetime when he faces pound 4 pound king Manny Pacquiao for the WBO welterweight championship. Will Clottey seize his opportunity and cause one of the biggest upset in boxing history? or will his name be crossed out on Manny's already impressive Hit-List? Read on to find out how i think the fight will unfold.










Joshua Clottey 35-3-0 (20 KO)

built from re-enforced steel, Clottey will be the strongest ever opponent Pacquiao has faced. He has never been knocked out and has only been knocked down once ( got back up from it pretty quickly) against Cotto. His defensive skills are classified as "God given" and he is one huge son of a bit*h. He has a mean uppercut and is the natural welterweight, coming in at 160+ lbs on fight night.















Manny Pacquiao 50-3-2 (38 KO)

Known as the man who revitalized boxing, Pacman is the current P4P king and boy does he have an impressive resume. Barrera, De La Hoya, Morales, Marquez, Hatton, Cotto are some of the big names he has destroyed (De La Hoya, Morales & Hatton all retired after losing to Pacquiao). Possessing ridiculously fast had speed and footwork, his punches come at angles previously not possible. His punching power baffles many critics as he has constantly KO-ed bigger and stronger opponents. Couple that with incredible stamina to last 12 full rounds and a very strong chin (proved against Cotto), he is definitely the hardest challenge of Clottey's career.

Prediction

I think Clottey will put up one hell of a fight, giving Pacquiao a stern test in the welter division. his defense will confuse the Pacman and will force him to rethink his strategies. However, Clottey is not know to have punching power (only 20 KO's in 38 fights) and might not hurt Pacquiao as much as people believe. Pacquiao will throw many more punches and land more clean shots even though Clottey has a good defense. He is the title holder and i think by the 10,11 or 12, we will have a stoppage in Manny's favor. Manny Pacquiao, victory by TKO.
