Pick winners for these upcoming title fights?

Question

Interim WBC Welterweight Title: Shane Mosley/Luis Collazo
WBA Welterweight Title: Miguel Cotto/Oktay Urkal
WBA/WBC Lightweight Title: Joel Casamayor/Juan Diaz
WBA/WBC Cruiserweight Title: O'Neill Bell/Jean Marc Mormeck
WBC Super Featherweight Title: Marco Antonio Barrera/Juan Manuel Marquez
All of them are interesting match ups. Will the current arrest of O'Neill Bell effect his condition mentally and physically in his match up against Mormeck

Oscar vs. PBF has been discussed extensively in this forum. That's why I haven't included it in this question.

Answer 1

Mosley Vs Collazo

As i have said before Shane is the class act in this one but i have a feeling that he is going to get beat in this one, Mosley has the edge on power but it is whether he can get through to the awkward southpaw, i think Collazos slick southpaw skills give him a UD.

And i just want to add that i have placed a rather large bet at around 4 to 1 for Collazo to take this.

Cotto Vs Urkal

This is a mismatch, Cotto will take this without breaking sweat, early KO.

Casamayor Vs Diaz

I take the Baby Bull to take this one on points, i think Casamayor is a very good fighter but just not as good as Diaz, will be a gruelling battle which should be good to watch.

Bell Vs Mormeck

If this one happens i would say same result as before. I think Bell would stop him.

Barrera Vs Marquez

Should be one of the fights of the year if not the decade, i would say this one will go the distance but there may be knockdowns for both fighters during the fight, i take Barrera to take a split decision in a classic.

Just one thing i was wondering is how you haven't mentioned the Israel Vasquez Vs Rafael Marquez bout, this is one i am really looking forward too, definite classic in the making.

Answer 2

Mosley, Cotto, Casamayor, Mcormeck, Barrera.

Answer 3

Luis Collazo
Miguel Cotto
Juan Diaz
Jean Marc Mormeck
Juan Manuel Marquez

Answer 4

1) im not sure about this one, luis collazo is a slick southpaw boxer with good movement and fast hands that will give mosley problems, but im leaning towards mosley to win a close decision. its kind of a toss up for me.

2) miguel cotto will win, oktay doesn't have the power to keep cotto off him, and seemed to have lost his biggest fights in his prime, vivian harris twice, and kostya tyszu. and at 37 he probably doesn't have much left. cotto will ko him around the 5 round i think.

3)i'm gonna go with juan diaz to outwork joel casamayor, casamayor is good but he does seem to be slipping some in his last couple of fights, maybe age is catching up with him, and diaz is going to pressure him all night long. diaz by dec.

4) i don't think this happening because of what happened to bell. but i think mormeck would win, mormeck is a good fighter, he just got a caught. plus i think the knockout of mormeck was bad, because bell kept punching mormeck repeatedly to the back of the head which i think mormeck should have time to recover from.

5) i think marquez will win because he is hungrier because if he wins he'll get the recognition he deserves. i think his last couple of wins were impressive. barrera to me just turned into a boring fighter. he ran the whole time in the second fight with juarez, it was possibly one of the most boring fights i've ever seen, like john ruiz boring.

Answer 5

mosley over collazo
cotto over urkal
casamayor over diaz
bell over mormeck
barrera uver marquez
no i dont thinhk the arrest will play a role in the bell fight

Answer 6

can not watch for that combat. it is going to likely be a slugfest on a similar time because it lasts. the two men have capability, neither has the ideal chin. i flow to take the underdog (for now) -- Vasquez KO7.

Answer 7

Mosley
Cotto
Diaz
Mormeck
Barrera
