As I see, the first half of 2012 has and will be great for the sport. Whether they are huge fights, or fights built off of curiosity, its still great for the sport. Aside from the bouts that have already taken place, there are several bouts ranging from now to June, that are quite interesting. I hate to do this, but I will list these fights to help refresh everyone's memory...

Lopez/Salido 2 and M. Garcia/Concepcion
Judah/Paris (???)
Martinez/Macklin
Morales/Garcia and Kirkland/Molina
Gamboa/Rios
Dawson/Hopkins 2
Mayweather/Cotto and Canelo/Mosley
Khan/Peterson 2 and Matthysse/Soto
Bradley/Pacquiao
Berto/Ortiz 2 (sometime in June)
*Please name any if I missed them

With this said, do you see the last half of the year being as explosive as the first half? "Usually", the last half of the year (mainly Nov. and Dec.) have provided us with great bouts, but what will be the outcome this year?

Judging by the above listed bouts, recent 2012 fight results, and YOUR predictions along with news and reports...what do you think materializes for the last half of the year, based on your predicted results?

the world is supposed to end in december so they need to get these bouts in!!!

Fuckin' asshole! But really...its "supposed" to end, so let's see. I'll spend my rent money on a December PPV and I'll throw a party for it too! A big one!

count me in! i'll bring some nachos and beer.

Trust me, if I get stupid and decide to not pay my mortgage and other bills, I'll have champagne and paid strippers...so you dont have to bring anything As far as the fight line-up...Im looking to see a Peterson/Alexander and a possible Kirkland/Canelo bout...since GBP was already trying to throw Kirkland under the bus in the Angulo fight.

Why did you put the ? By the parris/Judah fight? I think that match up has potential to be an exciting fight, which is going to give Judah a shot at Peterson or maybe morales. So what? I still believe in Zab

I just didn't want to get stoned to death for listing it I agree though...we all know how Judah is, he pulls off the minor upset in eliminator bouts, and totally upsets us on the big stage.

I absolutely agree, I think this is his last ride and he will fight as if. I want the wild unpredictable Judah back, that new Whitaker style sucks.

Martinez/Macklin = Martinez KOs him and fast

all that needed to be said! count me in.

Duly noted!

Other than that, from what I've been reading, if Mikey Garcia beat Concepcion on the co-feature of Lopez/Salido rematch...he will more than likely get the winner. If Lopez is smart, win, lose, or draw, he would move up to 130 after this fight. 126 is killing him, and his bad practices between fights, isn't helping him at all.

I would like to see the winner of Matthysse/Soto, face Maidana before the end of the year. If not, then I'd like for Maidana to face Robert "The Beggar" Guerrero, which was supposed to take place last year.

Alexander wants the winner of Berto/Ortiz. If Bradley's smart, then he'd take the loser. The winner of Khan/Peterson should take a Bradley fight, or a fight with Alexander, if the winner of Berto/Ortiz decides to get snoody at the last minute.

Any other suggestions? The winner of Morales/Garcia? Kirkland Molina? Martinez/Macklin? Where does Broner go? What about poor JMM? C'mon guys...
