DECEMBER 4TH SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING PREDICTIONS
By George Elsasser
Jose Castillo - Joel Casamayor WBC Lightweight Title fight
Very tough call but must hang with the Cuban veteran Casamayor’s 33 office
visits (31-2) with 19 stops over the Castillo’s 57 kept appointments that see
him at 50-6-1 with 45 KO’s.
Guess here is Casamayor by unanimous decision … only concern here, it could be
aborted early due to one of them "inadvertent" clash of heads
scenarios when portsiders battle attacking wide wingers.
Either way the pick is Casamayor.

Jeff "Left Hook" Lacy - Omar Sheika
Easy one here … pick is Lacy halts Omar in five candles. Both come to do
battle but Lacy clearly the fresher body and bigger one punch knocker outer.
Sheika was never really more than rough and tough, club fighter level at best.
Lacy has only just begun.

Jeremy Williams - Samuel Peter
Impossible to choose. If veteran Jeremy can get out of the gate as he once
did, it could be an early evening for the 24 year young Peter. I question the
legitimacy of Sam’s undefeated 20 wins with 17 halts, but Williams has kept 46
appointments with 36 by KO, and that tends to translate to tired blood if
forced to work overtime.
Hunch is Peter survives the early blitz and then takes control for decision
win. Only chance for Jeremy is if Peter’s chin is not authentic and crashes
during opening blitz.
