De LaDiva Hoya wins by knockout inside of 7. Tua inside of 5 Etienne inside of 7 Now don't everybody go out and bet the opposite, although that usually would provide good risk/reward:) or :( Lans

Good morning LPS5, Hey, a guy doesn't show up for a few days and he's considered out of the loop :-( I already weighed in on the De La Hoya - Gatti fight with a prediction: Message 15491275 De La Hoya the bigger man and far more skilled. People remembered the 160 lb Gatti against little Joey Gamache. That being said, I don't think DLH looked that great. Gatti hit him quite a few times with stiff jabs and that's not good. Gatti wouldn't have been able to touch Mosely under any circumstance. I liked DLH's body work (something he probably learned from watching Mosely, not from Mayweather ;-) ) but was not thrilled with his inability to close the show. I'd give DLH a B+. I didn't see the Tua fight nor your boy Etienne's KO loss. One thing I will say is one of the most important things to look at is a fighter's caliber of opponents. It's OK to see potential, but it's tough to extrapolate how a prospect would do against a top 5 guy until he gets in there with a top 10 - 15 guy. I was looking forward to the Klitschko - Jefferson fight and was very diappointed in Jefferson. He's a guy who I thought had great potential coming off his thrilling win against Maurice Harris. That fight was a modern day Foreman - Lyle. But Jefferson is through now and will never be a contender. He's got a glass jaw and can't get out of the way of punches . A very bad 2 strikes against him. As many times as both Jefferson and Etienne have hit the canvas, I'd like to see both of them get in the ring on a KO Nation card. I'll take Jefferson. Klitschko hits hard but needs to fight somebody big who can box....like a Ruiz. I think the Quiet Man would give him trouble. Bruce PS: mr. mark....Gatti KO 12?
