    Broner - Gamboa: Gotta take Broner here, all day. Gamboa has looked like sh*t ever since he moved up from 126lb.

    His chin is iffy, he gets wild and caught pretty easily, and Broner is not Darley Perez or Michael Farenas. If AB catches Gamboa, the fight would be over.

    One thing is for sure though, despite who wins this would be one faaaast fight. Both of these guys are supremely athletic and fast.

    Golovkin - Martinez: I think you gotta take GGG here, probably by late stoppage. Sergio is getting up there in age, and he has an extremely athletic style that relies solely on his speed/reflexes.

    I don't know if he just hasn't fully recovered from his knee/hand injuries and what not, but he seems to have slowed a bit. I'm taking the young beast over the older warrior.

    Hopkins - Kovalev: This is a tough matchup. I could see B-Hop getting cagey, and frustrating Kovalev on the way to a close decision. Kovalev hasn't gone many rounds, and we know Hopkins can fight all night.

    I could also see the age of Bernard finally catching up to him, and against a monster like Kovalev it would be bad news.

    So Hopkins by close DE, or Kovalev by a stoppage. Despite Kovalev's great power though, I think it would be very difficult for him to stop Bernard.

    B-Hop is just too good defensively, his chin is great, and he's just a cagey mother*cker. If B-Hop gets hurt, he has no issues getting dirty or doing what he has to do in order to survive.
