My Picks: Canelo vs Lopez and Martinez vs Chavez Jr

Not sure what to think about this fight. A year and a half ago I would have picked Martinez easy. Chavez built up some good credibility since then. Lately though he's been distracted during training. Martinez is taking this fight serious, maybe a little too serious. He's a little out of character. That might mean something and it might mean nothing. Martinez wins a harder than expected (by him) fight. UD.

I'm picking Josesito to upset Alvarez. That's the look of determination and confidence. If he wins this one, especially if he knocks out Canelo, he'll be "The Man!
