The Fans Have Voted: Peterson-Matthysse

63% picking Matthysse to win. 94% by KO!


This weekend, WBC interim light-welterweight champ Lucas Matthysse takes on IBF 140lb titleholder Lamont Peterson in what is expected by most to be an action-packed 'Fight Of The Year.' The reason for this that you have Matthysse, regarded by many as the hardest pound-for-pound puncher on the planet, getting the opportunity he so badly deserves to prove he can cut it at world level. However, the man opposite him in the ring will not just lay down and act as a stepping stone for the Argentinian. Lamont Peterson is a very, very tough and talented man and he will look to be with Matthysse every step of the way at the Boardwalk Hall on Saturday night.

Here is how the fans see this fight going:

The Fans Have Voted: Mayweather-Guerrero

Guerrero loses lead in final 2 days! Landslide victory for Floyd!

It's getting closer and closer, and the excitement is building... We're just days away from the highly-anticipated return of the pound-for-pound king Floyd 'Money' Mayweather (43-0, 26 KO's)! On Saturday May 4th he takes on Robert 'The Ghost' Guerrero (31-1, 18 KO's) at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. 

I don't need to explain to you how big this fight is. The fact that we received more votes for this fight than any other shows just how excited the fans are for Floyd's return and also how intrigued they are to see if Guerrero really can give the WBC champ the toughest fight of his career so far. 

At first it looked as though we were going to see a big upset in the polls when the voting started this week. Robert Guerrero was actually pulling ahead after the first day or so but couldn't hold onto the lead as Floyd received more and more votes and moved further and further ahead in the final two days.

Here are the results:

The Fans Have Voted: Audley Vs Wilder

61% PICKING WILDER TO BEAT AUDLEY, 100% BY KO!


There is a very big weekend of boxing coming up, and possibly the most intriguing match-up on Saturday night is Deontay 'Bronze Bomber' Wilder Vs Audley 'A-Force' Harrison. The fight takes place on the undercard of Khan Vs Diaz at the Motorpoint Arena in Sheffield and will be televised live on BoxNation (Sky 437, Virgin 546).

Like I said, this really is an intriguing match-up. Audley Harrison is coming off of three impressive victories in the Heavyweight prizefighter back in February, also becoming the first ever man to win two Prizefighter titles. But despite being in the best shape of his career and having huge momentum, Audley will enter this fight as a huge underdog because he takes on a man who is considered to be "the most devastating puncher in the world today"; Deontay Wilder. The American has a perfect record of 27-0, with 27 KO's, knocking out every single one of his opponents in four rounds or less. 

So obviously, as the stats shows, the majority of fight fans are picking Wilder to get the win, but the fact that he is still largely untested has given A-Force fans a little confidence. Here are the results:

The Fans Have Voted: Khan Vs Diaz

90% picking Khan to have successful UK comeback!


This weekend (Saturday April 27th) Amir 'King' Khan (27-3, 19 KO's) returns to the UK, taking on experienced Mexican Julio Diaz (40-, 29 KO's) at the Motorpoint Arena in Sheffield. The actual fight itself isn't that exciting but the fact that Khan is returning to the UK for the first time in over 2 years and that he is still on the comeback trail from his devastating knockout loss to Danny Garcia, has got the fans talking about and anticipating this fight.

When we took in the fans predictions on Twitter (@BoxingOpinions1) this week, these were the results that came back:

The Fans Have Voted: Alvarez Vs Trout

57% PICKING AUSTIN TROUT TO BEAT SAUL ALVAREZ!

The biggest unification bout of the year takes place this weekend when WBC light-middleweight champion and Mexican superstar Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez (41-0, 30 KO's) takes on WBA titlist Austin 'No Doubt' Trout (26-0, 14 KO's) in front of 50,000 passionate fight fans at the Alamodome in San Antonio.

On paper this is a real 50/50 fight; Two undefeated champions with equally impressive records taking on the toughest possible challenge at 154lb. Now, in the build-up to this fight it seemed to me that Canelo would enter as the slight favorite and he still does with the bookies but in our most recent poll on Twitter (@BoxingOpinions) Austin Trout emerged as the surprise favorite with the majority of the voters.
