All fair predictions...not quite what I have in mind, but, that's what the thread is all about.

The next big one is Delahoya-Gatti. Incredibly tough as Gatti is, I see that one as a Delahoya victory via stoppage...Gatti turns into a bloody mess, however relentless, after the 8th round of most of his fights. So, at this point, I'd take Delahoya to win in the 10th round, though I'll tone that number closer to the fight.

With Barrera-Hamed, I was thinking a Barrera KO over Hamed, and now I'm thinking that he wins by decision. Again, more opinions closer to the fight.

With Jones and Trinidad, you might be right about giving up his speed with the weight increase to fight Roy, but I think he'll have trained so hard that at worst it will be close.

Lewis-Tyson, I pick Lewis to knock Tyson out.

Oh wait, did I say Lewis?

I meant Tyson. ;-) Tyson knocks out Lewis, currently I'm thinking in the 3rd or 4th round.

But what do I know? I had Vargas beating Trinidad and Corrales beating Mayweather :-)

Hey Scoob,

My two cents.....

I like De La Hoya over Gatti by KO or stoppage on cuts. Gatti is tailor made for De La Hoya who is a very fine boxer. Gatti in too many wars busts up easily. De La Hoya also a pretty good businessman. Taking this fight as showcase for future big money fights.
