Kyle’s fight picks 4/21/2018


Nonito Donaire-Carl Frampton
-Donaire is past his best but he still has been competitive in losses to good fighters and still has power in that big left hook. It will be tough for him to win a close decision in Northern Ireland and I expect this to be a close fight. Frampton peaked in the first Santa Cruz fight and has not looked that good since. And Im not sure he ever will. Fight will be televised live on youtube. 
Pick- Frampton by Majority Decision

Amir Khan-Phil LoGreco
- Khan is coming off a bad knockout loss to Canelo and this is his first fight back in almost 2 years. All things that could spell problems for a guy who has had problems with his chin in the past. LoGreco is a tough sturdy guy who has a good chin and comes to fight but the skill level and difference in hand speed here will be a huge difference. Khan may have trouble stopping him but I think he probably dominates him with his skills unless he is totally shot. Televised live at 530 on ESPN+.
Pick- Khan by unanimous decision

Charlo -Centeno
- This is the most one sided fight of the weekend. Charlie is a special talent who is continuing to improve and has looked very impressive lately. Centeno has been stopped before and has done nothing to make me think he will be competitive here.
Pick-Charlo by KO

Gervonta Davis-Jesus Cuellar
-Cuellar is a strong , rugged southpaw. A former world champ who lost a close decision to Abner Mares in his last fight. Davis is a super talent who at times fights to the level of his competition. I think he brings his A game here with a possible super fight against Lomachenko in the near future. I expect Davis to have an easy time landing his big shots and his speed and angles will give Cuellar issues Cuellar will hang in because he’s tough but it will not be enough.
Pick -Davis late TKO

Adrien Broner-Jessie Vargas
-This should be a good competitive fight. The odds are close to even and Vegas is usually right. This is at a catch weight of 144 and any time Broner has fought over 140 he has not been the same fighter. Vargas is a tough rugged pressure fighter who will be looking to press Broner and wear him out. Broner’s mental state is always in question as well and Im not sure he has the ability at this point in his career to beat a good solid welterweight.
Pick-Vargas by close Decision. 

Kyle Provenzano
