By Mike Hanson. 1) Juan Manuel Lopez (27-0) vs. Steven Luevano (37-1-1) Lopez wins this one easily going 79-20-1.  The most common outcome was TKO8 Mike’s Take – I think it will be closer than TB suggest but I think Lopez stops him late in the fight or gets a clear cut...

By Mike Hanson. This is my shot at coming back … lots of disagreements! 1) Paul Williams (37-1) vs. Sergio Martinez (44-1-2) Paul Williams wins pretty easily in TB going 68-19-13.  The most common outcome was UD12. Mike’s Take – Martinez, IMO, is drastically underrated in the...

By Mike Hanson. 1) Lucien Bute (24-0) vs. Librado Andrade (28-2) Andrade has the higher overall rating in the game but his was a mismatch.  Bute went 78-16-6.  The most common outcome was Bute by UD12. Mike’s Take – When in doubt Mike takes the Mexican fighter.  Andrade should...

By Mike Hanson. 1) Matthew Hatton (37-4-1) vs. Lovemore N’Dou (47-11-1) I ran N’Dou at post-prime for this bout but he still won fairly easily 56-35-9.  His most common win was by stoppage in the 5th round.  When Hatton won it was by UD12 Mike’s Take – As much as I hate...

By Mike Hanson. 1) Carl Froch (25-0) vs. Andre Dirrell (18-0) I will start this by saying two things.  First I think Froch is wildly overrated in real life and in the game.  I also think Dirrell is vastly underrated in the game.  TB has Froch destroying Dirrell.  Froch won 87-13...

By Mike Hanson. 1) Travis Kauffman (18-0) vs. Tony Grano (15-1-1) (ESPN FNF) This was the blowout I expect it to be.  Kauffman went 84-15-1 with the most common outcome being a 6th round stoppage.  It was exactly even between TKO or KO Mike’s Take – I think this is stopped earlier. ...

TBCB Predicts: August 2...

By Mike Hanson. 1) Juan Diaz (34-2) vs. Paulie Malignaggi (25-2) Diaz won easily and not because the fight was fixed like Paulie is already claiming.  Diaz went 84-16 against Paulie with the most common result being UD12. Mike’s Take – If Paulie can cut Diaz it might be a different...

By Mike Hanson. 1) Carl Drummond (26-1) vs. Derrick Rossy (21-2) (ESPN-Friday) Drummond won this going 46-40-14.  Most common outcome was a UD10 Mike’s Take – Rossy isn’t the most fundamentally sound fighter but I think he might pull this one out 2) Tim Bradley (24-0) vs. Nate...
