HUGE month for boxing. A few that you missed:

July 7
At Cologne, Germany (HBO): Wladimir Klitschko vs. Lamon Brewster

July 14

July 28
At Tacoma, Wash. (HBO): Vernon Forrest vs. Carlos Baldomir,

My predictions:
Antonio Margarito by KO
Kermit Cintron UD
Arturo Gatti KO
Bernard Hopkins by SD
Klitschko by KO
Anthony Hanshaw by KO
Baldomir by KO

damn u have Gattin winnin by KO?

 

[Thir$ty B]

I don't think Gatti will knock out Gomez. IF he gets by him, he's going to get killed by Chavez Jr. Its really a shame, but dude should retire.

 

[REdRUM]

I can't see Baldomir winning by KO...

Great month.

This is the same Gomez from the Contender right? No way he's on Gatti's level, even if Gatti is on the downside of his career.

 

[2-0-Sixx]

July 28
At Tacoma, Wash. (HBO): Vernon Forrest vs. Carlos Baldomir,

This is unconfirmed as of now, BUT:

Forrest-Baldomir to fight for vacant strap


------- has been informed that undefeated pound-for-pound Picasso Floyd Mayweather, Jr. has vacated his WBC 154-pound championship. Mayweather is still the WBC welterweight champion and a potential November 10, 2007 fight against Ricky Hatton is still in the works. ----- has also been informed not to be surprised if the July 28, 2007 Vernon Forrest-Carlos Baldomir is used to determine Mayweather's successor as WBC junior middleweight titlist

Got this from another board....

 

[2-0-Sixx]

I can't see Baldomir winning by KO...

Great month.

Yeah I don't know why I typed KO I wanted to say UD. Forrest is past his prime and I think baldomir still has enough left to take him out but not by ko.

Can't wait until that Punisher/Margarito fight. Paul looks really good so far, but his chin is suspect, and I think that this is going to be a tough test for him. I'd like to see the winner take on Cotto.
