Jacobs has the "it" look about him. Classic NY boxer. Decorated amateur. The Golden Boy fighter. Pirog is too slow and maybe a bit too small. Never fought in the states. He only got this fight because he looks decent on paper - no more, no less. Expect a near shutout from Jacobs.
Jacobs -7.5, -115 (the best bet of the night)
Guerrero is coming back against an old vet. Casamayor was a great fighter at one time. However, that time is long gone. He hasn't been active and is now 39. Fighting a younger, stronger fighter that needs to make a splash in his return isn't going to help him. Great match making by GBP. Guerrero gets a really nice win over a fighter that can't compete on this level anymore. I have a feeling Guerrero pulls out a KO for the cherry on top.
Guerrero ITD, +237
Rocky Juarez has fallen short every single time he had a shot to take the step up from gatekeeper/contender status. Tonight should be no different. Plenty of questions about Linares's chin but Rocky won't go for broke to find out.
Linares via decision, -195
I don't really know why everyone is counting out Juan Diaz. He was beating on Marquez for the first 5 rounds. He was landing so much he got too confident. Marquez started too land at will and put him to sleep. If Diaz can bank a few early rounds and stay on his feet for the second half of the fight he'll win. I feel that is the gameplan and Juan will finally make an adjustment for the first time in his career.
Diaz +380
