2010 Crystal Ball Part 2 2010 Crystal Ball Part 2 The top man at Middleweight may not have had the best of years but now Kelly Pavlik’s healthy again hopefully he’ll engage in some big fights and bring excitement back to the Middleweights which have been derelict over the past few years. With Paul Williams having to sit out much of the first half of the year look for Sergio Martinez to take advantage of the situation and fight Pavlik in Atlantic City in April/May. Martinez has skills in abundance and his speed of foot could also cause Pavlik problems, however “The Ghost” is tough, gritty with a huge heart who’ll keep going until the last and pull off a hard fought decision win. Paul Williams will get back into action over the summer possibly against someone like John Duddy or Peter Manfredo either should give Williams the opportunity to put on an impressive performance setting the stage for a highly anticipated fall fight with Pavlik. When all the smoke has cleared Pavlik will have scored a late impressive stoppage in give and take battle. WBA Kingpin Felix Sturm will have several problems getting free of his contract with Universum so wont be very active. Even so it’s difficult to see Sturm losing as he’ll likely have home advantage and probably won’t be matched with any of the top dogs. Fellow German IBF ruler Sebastian Sylvester will make his first defence against the very average Pablo Navascues of Spain. Sylvester shouldn’t have any problem keeping hold of his title in that fight setting up a May/June fight with his mandatory challenger. That will be Roman Karmazin who will best Dionisio Miranda in early January. Karmazin is skilled and tough but at 37 passed his best so Sylvester who will likely also have home advantage, again getting the win. European champ Matthew Macklin has a tough fight with Dmitriy Pirog in February the winner of that will be well positioned to fight Sylvester before the end of 2010. The best of the rest will see Daniel Jacobs become a top 10 ranked contender on the verge of a world title fight. French transplant Hassan N’Dam N’Jikam will also have a good year. Gennady Golovkin will be hoping to fight Sturm but that may largely depend on if Sturm can free himself of his Universum contract. If the fight happens Golovkin is good enough to win it. Matt Korobov will also be busy and start to face better opposition placing him on the fringes of the world scene. With Sergio Martinez fighting up at 160 leaving him to vacate the WBC title which will see Kermit Cintron paired with Ryan Rhodes. Both guys carry a good story coming in, Cintron will be the better guy scoring a unanimous decision. Don’t be surprised to see Cintron hold onto the title through out the year. Yuri Foreman is on standby to square off with Manny Pacquiao encase Pac-Man’s fight with Floyd Mayweather doesn’t come off. Eventually he’ll settle for a spot on the undercard fighting Japanese WBA Interim champion Nobihiro Ishida. Ishida shouldn’t provide too much of a challenge with Foreman posting an easy points win. Its possible Foreman will be matched with Miguel Cotto over the summer. Foreman has the style and size advantage to give Cotto fits if it happens. Another option could be Joachim Alcine who is popular in Monteal. As time goes by Cory Spinks is slowly morphing from cagey mover into a more stationary boxer which is good for us but not so good for him. Spinks probably due to Don King not keeping his fighters too active will keep the title in 2010 with only Vanes Martirosyan in the top 15 of the IBF posing any threat. With Sergei Dzindziruk not having fought at all in the last calendar year he may have to vacate which will see Alfredo Angulo promoted to full champion. If this happens Angulo backed by Gary Shaw will become a staple in the HBO cards taking part in at least two fights. He’ll be matched carefully against tough fighters and not cagey runners. The best of the up and comers is Martirosyan who’ll outpoint teak tough Kassim Ouma in mid January from there the Freddy Roach trained prospect will continue to develop having a busy year marking him out as the top contender in the division. Shawn Porter came to prominence late in 09 he’ll continue to develop and may even drop down to 147. The world awaits on what will happen in the soap opera that is the tediously long and drawn out negotiations between Floyd Mayweather Jnr & Manny Pacquiao. Hopefully soon enough they will sort out the Blood tests and put pen on a deal that will see both men earn more than they’ve ever earnt before. Hopefully the fight will then live up to the drama that has ensued in the build up if it does we’re all in for a treat. It pits the skills of Mayweather verses the power of Pacquiao plus many many other intriguing intangibles. When all is said and done and the dust has settled Mayweather will prevail via unanimous decision looking every bit the star he believes himself to be. The only real threat then on the horizon would be Shane Mosley who’ll roll back the years once again and dominate the young skilled but not quite ready Andre Berto. After much posturing they’ll square off in Las Vegas in another huge fight. Again Mayweather will back up his talk and win a competitive but clear cut decision. Antonio Margarito may re-emerge but struggle to get a big fight because of previous history. Cotto after several months off will put himself back in the picture with a couple of wins. Among the possible opponent’s for Cotto if elects to stay at 147 could be Jesus Soto Karass & Jose Luis Castillo. Joshua Clottey will continue to struggle to gets fights and not manage to get any of the big guys in the ring. If he can get a fight with the ordinary Jan Zeveck he could once again be the IBF champion. Zaveck will not get through the year as IBF champion in such a talented weight class. The younger guys coming through should provide enough action to again make the 147 hot top to bottom whereas in 2009 this was only the case for the top 5 or so guys. Selcuk Aydin has the power and attitude to take him to the top, it may get him a European title or even the IBF crown if he gets the chance. The often underappreciated Mike Jones will break out as a top 10 contender. Young guys like Saul Alvarez & Kell Brook could also supplant there credentials with successful years that could leave them with in striking distance of the best. Another talent laden division is the Light Welterweight’s. The numero uno is Tim Bradley who had a great 09 that run should continue this year with him again struggling to get the Big name that he craves to bring him big money. With Bradley fighting on Showtime and most of the other champions fighting on HBO it’ll be interesting to see who Bradley gets in his next fight. On 6 March Devon Alexander & Juan Urango will look to unify there WBC & IBF titles in a fight that has a lot of promise. Alexander will be getting back into action after 7 months off since he beat Junior Witter, this fight will give him the chance to really push himself out there. I look for him to post a dominant decision win before fighting Victor Ortiz over the summer. Look for Ortiz to get a win in the first half of the year to set up that fight with fellow young gun Alexander. Amir Khan will fight Marcos Maidana possibly on the same card as Alexander-Urango. That could eventually be a prelude to a future match up between two of the very best at 140. Khan will use his speed to befuddle Maidana on his way to getting a points win. At some point a fight between Khan & Paul Malignaggi could very well happen though that may not be until the fall with Khan squeezing in a defence in Britain. The ever popular Ricky Hatton will make his comeback possibly on 1 May as co-main event with Juan Manuel Marquez. The double header will help set up a fight with Marquez for later in 2010. Kendall Holt will beat Tim Coleman in an IBF eliminator but he’ll lose if he steps up to fight Alexander. When neither Malignaggi nor Holt can get a title shot they may elect to fight over the summer in a fight that will help the winner get a title opportunity. It would also be a pretty big fight in New York or New Jersey. Another fight that may interest Malignaggi would be Dimitri Salita if Salita can get a few wins under his belt. That would be a pretty big fight in New York. Ireland’s Paul McCloskey broke out last year and is now the European champion. Expect him to continue his development and gain a few more defence’s that should enable him to improve his rankings in the alphabet organisation’s top 10. Nate Campbell who has signed with Golden Boy should get a big fight but likely wont be able to win it.

  • Robert Guerrero: Fighting for More Than the Prize
    Fighters Predictions of Marquez – Katsidis Ahead of this weekend’s Marquez-Katsidis fight, we asked 10 fighters who reside at or near Lightweight what there thoughts & predictions are. John Murray – Lightweight Contender. WBC 3, WBO 9 & The Ring 6. I think Marquez will win it, I think he’s a bit to cute, a bit too clever for Katsidis. Ricky Burns – WBO Super Featherweight Champion I think it’s a cracking fight, I’m sure it’s going to be a total war. Actually when Katsidis boxed here last time against Kevin Mitchell I was on the undercard. With Katsidis what you see is what you get, all action he’ll come forward. I think Katsidis is going to win this one. I don’t see him stopping Marquez; he’s been in with the best so again I see Katsidis winning on points. Robert Guerrero – Two weight world champion, WBA 2, IBF 6 & WBO 1. I’m picking Marquez in a unanimous decision. I think he’ll out box him. Roman Martinez – Former Super Featherweight champion. Given Marquez experience and counterpunching abilities I think Juan Manuel must win by knockout. Katsidis will put up a fight but it’s going to be difficult for him to try to box or fight against Marquez; he’s really good. Juan Diaz – Former WBA/IBF & WBO Lightweight Champion who fought both Marquez (Losing twice KO8 & PTS12) & Katsidis (Winning PTS12) I believe that Marquez is gonna take a victory with a decision but saying that it wouldn’t surprise me if Katsidis stops Marquez because I think if it goes to a decision Marquez is going to take it but at the same time I saw Marquez slowing down a bit in our last encounter and knowing Katsidis and knowing what a power puncher he is Marquez is going to that risk of getting beat by Katsidis.
