I got some easy money for you this weekend, I promise. Bet that Samuel Peter will throw a right hand before the end of round 3. Yes, I know it's a crazy bet and if you placed the same bet two weeks ago on Klitschko you would of LOST! But trust me he will and so will Maskaev.
We got some big hitters here but I still have a weird feeling it's going to go 12. Even though Sammy Baby hit the canvas three times in his last fight (and won) I am going to say he takes the decision. He is the only legit competition for Klitschko and if he seals the deal the rematch will have to be made. On the undercard we have Mr. Clinch himself Johnny Ruiz trying to make one more title run. This guy had way too many title fights and how he even was champ for a while just goes to show what a mess the heavyweight division is. But there is light at the end of the tunnel. Peters wins, rematch with Klitschko, and the winner in Larry Lump's humble 'pinion, is the real heavyweight champ regardless of belts.
We also got cruiserweights, flyweights, and lightweight titles on the line this weekend as well. Lot's o' Action Ms. Jackson (I am for reaaaal).

Where's them Moose tracks? The windows close in two hours!
Larry - You ever box? You talk like you git hit with one two many jabs.
Back in 96 I was in a 4 rounder. Took care of business in the first three rounds, started show boating in the 4th and a right hook from the 6th row caught me right in the beak. I don't drool or anything but I tend to yell out show tunes at the most inappropriate times every now and then. I don't get invited to too many weddings or funerals anymore so I count it as a blessing in disguise!
