Friday, May 11, 2012
Texas Station Casino, Las Vegas, NV– (Showtime) Yudel Jhonson (12-0, 8 KOs) vs. Willie Nelson (17-1-1, 11 KOs) Odds/Prediction: Jhonson 13-5. Although giving up some experience, Yudel looks a level better here. Feeling lucky, thus I’ll put $260 to win $360.
Alexander Brand (17-0, 11 KOs) vs. Badou Jack (10-0, 8 KOs) Odds/Prediction: Brand 11-5. Colmbian favored over Swede.
EWS Arena, Goeppingen, Germany– Alexander Alekseev (23-2, 20 KOs) vs. Firat Arslan (32-5-1, 22 KOs) Odds/Prediction: AA 2-1. Alexander appears the better here, but it doesn’t look like a rout.
Mouez Fhima (21-1-1) vs. Goekalp Oezekler (12-1) Odds/Prediction: 6-5 Pick ‘Em. Looks like a close one will lean to Fhima.
BEST OF FOUR CARDS FRIDAY NIGHT IN ARGENTINA
Super Domo Orfeo, Cordoba, Argentina– Juan Reveco (27-1, 16 KOs) vs. Karim Guerfi (18-0, 4 KOs) (Interim WBA 112 lb. title) Odds/Prediction: Reveco 8-5. Home turf the read edge here.
May 12th (Saturday), 2012:
Ynares Sports Arena, Pasig City, Philippines– (PPV) Brian Viloria (30-3, 17 KOs) vs. Omar Romero (31-4-2, 13 KOs) (WBO 112 lb. title) Odds/Prediction Viloria 7-5. Romero has a win and a “No Contest” (Romero failed drug test) that was orignally ruled a draw vs. Viloria, both in 2006 and at 108 lbs. Romro has lost but a Majority & Split Decision since.
