^ You live in New York, i can understand picking against the Jersey shore kid, but too pick against Baroni aswell

Ha! Well, Meanie, my recent memories of Phil Baroni was him doing a wonderful impression of a Thai banana tree against Amir Sodallah....

Got me thinking about Edgar though... I think his biggest chance is sprawl and brawl against Maynard to get the decision. His boxing is much better since their first meeting, but still cant see him 'stopping' Maynard. All that being said....truthfully, I just feel Edgar will be pushed up against the cage for 25 mins and its a boring game over for him.

On the other fights of interest, I really want to see Chris Leben punch the stuffing out of Stann the Marine meathead. (and I think he will too). Oh... and one more for debate will be Diaz vs Dong Hyun Kim. Would be great to see Diaz wrap him up like Santa's Elf parcel...

Overall, 125 looks like a probable PPV buy but 126 blows it out the water.
