Staff Predictions for “The One”

The mega-event of the year, The One: Floyd Mayweather vs. Canelo Alvarez is only two days away. Saturday, September 14 will undoubtedly be a memorable evening and may possibly break the pay-per-view record set by Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather. Read on for our staff predictions and let us know who you think will win each fight.

Pablo Cesar Cano and Ashley Theopane Golden Boy Promotions

Ashley Theophane vs. Pablo Cesar Cano

Despite his losing streak, Cano is my pick for this bout. Cano is coming into this fight with toughness, youth, and superior punching power. Cano will stalk Theophane and end this bout with fifth-or-sixth-round knockout.

Pick: Cano

 

Gabe Rivas, Contributing Writer

Pablo Cano has faced better competition, although he usually comes up short. With losses to Mosley, Morales, and Malignaggi, he will bring lots of experience to the ring. Theophane, on the other hand, has an awkward style and has even faced an opponent with a staggering record of 22-116-7, 5 KOs. Theophane, who is used to fighting nobodies with horrible records, will be in for a rude awakening when he steps into the ring with Cano. Pablo Cano by late-round TKO.

Pick: Cano

 

Rob Anthony, Contributing Writer

I think this guy [Theophane] is a sparring partner of Mayweather‘s so he’s getting some pretty good work in the gym. With that I will give him a slight advantage over a probably shot fighter in Pablo Cesar Cano.

Pick: Theophane

 

Brendan Montenegro, Contributing Writer

Cano is a banger and definitely has the ability to knockout Theophane. Cano by knockout.

Pick: Cano

Ashley Theophane by 12-round UD.

Pick: Theophane

 

Alex Burgos, Editor in Chief

Ashley Theophane isn’t very well known, but he has tons of skills. He dropped a tough split decision to Danny Garcia in 2010 and I think he has enough in the tank to top Pablo Cano.

Pick: Theophane
