Weekend Picks (9/5-9/6)

I thought you lived in Chicago?  That's quite a road trip.  They actually televised the Reyes-Valle fight live.  It was kind or weird; my cable box said the card started at 10:30, but I was channel surfing after the Antillon fight and already Reyes and Valle were already in round 3.  It was a close fight from what I saw, Teddy scored it a draw.  Seemed like a great atmosphere there, that venue looked pretty sweet.

Thanks for the compliments on the Kirkland pick.  I was actually there last night, but I hadn't had a chance to write up the event yet.  The untelevised Reyes-Valle clash was a pretty darn good one...I got a bit down once I got home and saw what I perceived as a robbery in the Jose Reyes match.

I had the Reyes fight as you did 96-93 for Reyes. I didn't think any of the final four rounds were really that close. DeMarco is an easy fade at some point in the near future.
