Don Haskins Convention Center, El Paso, TX
(PPV) Hector Camacho Jr. (49-3-1, 27 KOs) vs. “Yory Boy” Campas (92-14-1, 74 KOs) Odds/Prediction: Even! Camacho was 7 lbs. over the limit at 159. Hopefully Campas can work Camacho Jr. over like the little ***** that he is!
Antonio Escalante (21-2, 13 KOs) vs. Carlos Fulgencio (11-3-1, 7 KOs) Odds/Prediction: Escalante 3-1. Favorite was KO’d in 2007 by shopworn Mauricio Pastrana. Wouldn’t bet him with your money, even though he looks to be better.
David Medina (20-2, 10 KOs) vs. Miguel Hernandez (20-9, 10 KOs) Odds/Prediction: Medina 5-1. Looks the far better fighter here.
Palace Banquet Centre, Edmonton, Canada Tye Fields (42-2, 38 KOs) vs. Glane Brown (32-12-1, 19 KOs) Odds/Prediction: Fields 11-5. Tye was Bob Arum’s white elephant…er hope until Monte Barrett exposed & KO’d Tye in one. Brown KO’d in three of last six. Unless he can get lightning in a bottle, the nearly 7’ foot fraud Fields wins here.

Treasure Island Casino, Las Vegas, NV
(Showtime) Joseph Agbeko (27-1, 22 KOs) vs. Yonnhy Perez (19-0, 14 KOs) (IBF 118 lb. title) Odds/Prediction: Evenly matched fighters top Don King’s return to “Sin City.” Could go either way!
Antonio DeMarco (22-1-1, 16 KOs) vs. Jose Alfaro (23-4, 20 KOs) Odds/Prediction: DeMarco 3-1. Computer says favorite a lot better. Will follow machine’s pick.
DaVarryl Williamson (26-5, 22 KOs) vs. Ray Austin (27-4-4, 17 KOs) Odds/Prediction: Austin 12-5. Ray busier of late and a tad better than DaVarryl.
Mohegan Sun Casino, Uncasville, CT
Joey Spina (25-1-1, 17 KOs) vs. Lou Del Valle (36-6-1, 22 KOs) Odds/Prediction: Spina 2 1.2 to 1. Lou off a year last lost 3 of 4 dating back to 2005. Not what he once was and Spina still unproven. Mike Oliver (22-2, 7 KOs) vs. Mauricio Pastrana (35-12-2, 22 KOs) Odds/Prediction: Even. On a long losing streak, Pastrana’s being brought into lose, but Oliver stopped in 2 of last 3. PASS!
Comodoro Rivadavia, Argentina
Hector Saldivia (30-1, 23 KOs) vs. Luis Rodriguez (26-3-1, 17 KOs) Odds/Prediction: Hector 13-5. Favorite appears to be a level or two better.
