Jean Pascal (26-2-1) vs. Lucian Bute (31-1) - To the naked eye, Bute is a better all around fighter. But this fight will be pushed by the more aggressive fighter which is Pascal. I love the way Bute steps in and throws a straight right then he turns on you with a fierce left uppercut. Pascal however is a dog and a very live one at that, I feel he will out hustle and beat Bute in a fun scrap. Give me Pascal by split decision.

Lamont Peterson (31-2-1) vs. Dierry Jean (25-0) - Jean is a very solid fighter that is not really too known, those type of fighters a lot of times are the most dangerous fighters that you will ever cross paths with. In his case however, it appears to me that his 25-0 unbeaten record may be blown up. But that does not mean that Peterson should sleep on Jean, Jean is still able to shake you up. In this bout, I just see Peterson’s big fight experience being too much for Jean. Look for Peterson’s right hand and body shots to give his opponent more than he can handle. I will take Peterson by unanimous decision.
Jermell Charlo (22-0) vs. Gabriel Rosado (21-7) – I absolutely love Charlo’s fast stabbing jab. The thing shoots out so fast that by the time you think of moving away, it would have already stabbed you twice. But just like the Peterson/Jean fight, I see Rosado’s grit and experience giving Charlo the type of opponent that he hasn’t seen before. Charlo is a very talented fighter that can rumble and his left hook is also deadly, but as I mentioned before, Rosado will win this match because of the adversity that he has already faced in his past fights. Charlo has yet to experience that type of adversity in the ring. Rosado by split decision, in what will more likely be the fight of the night.

Mikey Garcia (33-0) vs. Juan Carlos Burgos (30-1-2) – Burgos is a very game fighter and has a straight up style that can trouble most when his jab is popping. But Garcia is a patient sharp shooter that kisses danger on the lips in a very calm manner. Garcia will counter Burgos and will end up catching Burgos with a left hand late in the fight. My pick is Mikey Garcia by tko in the 9th.
