Our Take: Casamayor v. Marquez
Our pick: Marquez.
Casamayor recently beat Michael Katsidis in a great fight. But . . . he seemed unable to take a body blow. He even got knocked into the first row by a body blow in the sixth round.
That gives Marquez - an excellent bodypuncher - a distinct advantage. He should be able to exploit this Casamayor weakness into a victory.
Marquez is a superb, underappreciated and underrated fighter. Keep an eye on him. He simply is one of the best pound for pound fighters in the sport. He should show why in this fight.

Our Take: Joe Calzaghe v. Roy Jones
We're taking the underdog - Roy Jones at +275.
Calzaghe hit the canvas in his last fight, and had to get up to win a split decision that many at ringside thought he lost.
Jones - who has had chin problems of his own - has not hit the canvas since getting knocked out by Glen Johnson in 2004.
More importantly, Calzaghe doesn't have one punch knockout power. Roy Jones does. Jones flashed it in knocking down Felix "Tito" Trinidad twice in his last fight. Both fighters are almost certain to land as both have been vulnerable to getting hit in recent fights. We simply believe that Jones will have more behind the punches.
Calzaghe has benefitted from fighting fighters who are not as mobile as Jones. Jones' mobility will pose a problem for him, as will Jones' ability to fight while backing up. Some of Jones' best punches are thrown when Jones is backpedaling and countering. Calzaghe - an offensive fighter - provides many opportunities for a counterpuncher.
So - even though Jones is a big underdog in the fight - we're picking him to win. We're expecting him to do so by decision.

Oscar De La Hoya v. Manny Pacquiao
Mismatch.
Oscar is 5-10 1/2, has fought at middleweight and packs a big punch. He has dropped the following noteworthy fighters:
- Ike Quartey
- Fernando Vargas
- Ricardo Mayorga
He further has much faster handspeed than David Diaz, Manny's last opponent. Further, he has only been stopped once -- at 160 by Bernard Hopkins.
Manny is trying to jump two weight classes to meet Oscar at 147 to 150. He is only 5-6 1/2. He'll have to come inside to be effective. This is a recipe for disaster against a big hitter like Oscar.
We like Oscar, who is justifiably a big favorite. A good big man beats a good little man. Manny is biting off more than he can chew.

Betting Play: Juan Diaz v. Michael Katsidis
This fight is too close to call. But the over under of 10.5 is too high. Neither fighter has much defense. In Katsidis's last fight, there were 4 knockdowns. Katsidis has a 83.3% knockout rate -- exceptional.
We believe the play here is the under at +105. We don't see the fight going 10.5 rounds, and would not be surprised if it ends early. Very early.

Our Prediction: Mora v. Forrest
We understand that Oscar de la Hoya has contacted Sergio Mora to fight him should he beat Vernon Forrest.
We don't expect that to happen. We're taking Forrest to avenge his loss to Mora, who lacks knockout power (5 KOs).
Forrest did not appear to have trained last time, and may well cut off the ring and go for the knockout this time around against the light hitting Mora. Mora is one of our favorite fighters, but he simply does not have the power to keep a fit Forrest off of him. Forrest has already beaten boxer punchers such as Shane Mosley and should be able to work off a jab to nullify Mora's speed before working his body to take away his legs.
We like Forrest in a spirited contest.
