Fist" Klitschko, (35-2, 34KO's) after almost four years out of the ring when he tackles heavy-handed Samuel "Nigerian Nightmare" Peter, (30-1, 23KO's) From the O2 World Arena, Kreuzberg, Berlin, Germany.

The fight opened at almost dead even odds, but since then the line on Klitschko has steadily moved higher and higher, currently resting at the -180 mark. Peter supporters can grab the underdog cash at +155. The O/U on the bout is set at 9.5 rounds, with the under coming in at +175 and the over at -215.

Klitschko by KO comes in at +175, while Klitschko by decision will reward you with +329. Peter by KO hits the mark at +318, and Peter by decision lands at +823. The odds the fight is declared a draw land at +3000.

On Saturday Peter will have a second opportunity at defeating a Klitschko, something he failed to do back in 2005 when he faced Wladimir Klitschko.

Saturday night the HBO main event features a twelve round 154 pound battle between "Sugar" Shane Mosley, (44-5, 37KO's) and Ricardo 'El Matador" Mayorga, (29-6-1, 23KO's) live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles California.

Mosley Opened about a 6-1 favorite over Mayorga but the public quickly jumped on that line, skyrocketing Mosley to a a€"900 favorite to defeat "El Matador" Saturday night. Mayorga gets the underdog cash at +600. The O/U for the fight has been set at 9.5 rounds, with the over landing at -135 and the under coming in at +155.

Mosley by KO comes in at -103, while Mosley by decision will get you +188. Mayorga by KO hits the mark at +983, and Mayorga by decision lands at +1457. The odds the fight is declared a draw currently rest at +4000.

Although both boxers have fought at 154 in the past, I do not feel it is the optimum weight for either fighter.

Mosley was simply a beast at the lower weights, and even after moving up to 147 pounds was still considered one of the best fighters in the world.

"Sugar" made the leap to 154 back in 2003, after losing back-to-back fights against Vernon Forrest at welterweight.

Saturday night on the undercard of Shane Mosley vs. Ricardo Mayorga, undefeated Andre Berto, (22-0, 19KO's) will look to make the first successful defense of his WBC welterweight title against former lightweight world champion Steve "2-pound" Forbes, (33-6, 9KO's.) The Berto /Forbes bout will take place live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles California and will be televised by HBO at 10:30pm ET/7:30PM PT.

The Saturday night PPV main event features a lightweight contest between two battle-tested warriors, Joel Casamayor, (36-3-1, 22KO's) and Juan Manuel Marquez, (48-4-1, 35KO's) live from the MGM Grand, Las Vegas, NV.

Joel Casamayor opened as the underdog in the bout, but since the lined opened there has been nothing but Marquez money coming in. Currently he is a a€" 390 favorite to defeat Casamayor. Casamayor supporters can grab the underdog money at +320. The O/U on the bout is set at 9.5 rounds, with the under coming in at +300 and the over at -360.

Marquez by KO comes in at +417, while Marquez by decision will cost you -155. Casamayor by KO hits the mark at +524, and Casamayor by decision lands at +801. The odds of the bout being declared a draw land at +2500.

After his terrible performance against Jose Armando Cruz it was fully understandable why the oddsmakers opened Casamayor as an underdog against his less experienced opponent Michael Katsidis.

However, since his fight with Cruz (he did get the win) he went on to war with Katsidis, eventually knocking out his younger foe in ten brutal rounds.

Saturday on the undercard of Casamayor vs. Marquez, fight fans will be treated to a world championship rematch in the 154-pound weight class between Vernon Forrest, (40-3, 29KO's) and Sergio Mora, (21-0-1, 5KO's.) live from the MGM Grand, Las Vegas, NV.

In the rematch the newly crowned champion Mora is still a slight underdog at +110, but the line is a far cry from his original +380 odds back in June. Forrest supporters (are there any still left out there?) are once again forced to lay the favorite line at -130. The O/U on the bout is set at 11.5 rounds, with the under coming in at +245 and the over at -290.

Forrest by KO comes in at +331, while the former champion by decision will net you +267. Mora by KO hits the mark at +981, and Mora by decision lands at +126. The odds of the bout being declared a draw land at +1600.

Saturday night on Showtime, fight fans will be treated to a world championship bout in the 135-pound weight class between champion Nate Campbell, (32-5-1, 25KO's) and speedy challenger Joan Guzman, (28-0, 17KO's) live from the Beau Rivage Resort & Casino, Biloxi, Mississippi.

The newly crowned champion opened as the underdog in the bout and public money has continued to flow in on the challenger, knocking Nate Campbell's number up to + 170. Guzman supporters will have to lay -200. The O/U on the bout is set at 11.5 rounds, with the under coming in at +250 and the over at -300.

As you can see by the betting line, these two fighters each pose serious danger to one another. Guzman is the slick boxer with the superhuman speed, and Campbell can be an aggressive, in your face fighter that will hit you anywhere and everywhere for as long as he can.

The Saturday night HBO main event features a lightweight contest between Juan "Baby Bull" Diaz, (33-1, 17KO's) and knockout artist Michael Katsidis, (23-1, 20KO's) live from the Toyota Center, Houston, Texas.

Although both are coming off their first professional losses, Diaz opened as the clear favorite in the bout and currently rests at a€" 400. Katsidis supporters can grab the underdog money at +310. The O/U on the bout is set at 9.5 rounds, with the under coming in at +125 and the over at -145.

Katsidis by KO comes in at +475, while Katsidis by decision will reward you with +839. Diaz by KO hits the mark at +131, and Diaz by decision lands at +350.

Although both fighters enter this contest after suffering devastating defeats, the truth is Katsidis has not looked great in his last two outings. Previous to his war with Joel Casamayor, Katsidis had an extremely difficult time against Czar Amonsot.

Katsidis struggled early against Amonsot, and showed a serious lack of defense throughout the entire bout. His lack of being able to move his face away from the leather hurling towards him has caused his face to swell and cut in numerous fights. The fight with Amonsot was no exception. From early on in the contest Katsidis was forced to fight with his eyes swollen and his face shredded.

The Saturday night HBO co-main event features veteran Jorge Barrios, (47-3-1, 34KO's) facing off against the real life "Rocky", Rocky Juarez, (27-4, 19KO's) live from the Toyota Center, Houston Texas.

When the lines first opened Barrios was installed as almost a 2-1 favorite over Juarez. However, Rocky Juarez money continued to trickle in and a late rush of coin on Juarez knocked his odds down considerably to just even money (+100.) Barrios remains a very slight favorite at a€"120. The O/U for the fight has been set at 11.5 rounds, with the over at -300 and the under coming in at +250.

Barrios by KO comes in at +441, while Barrios by decision will net you +148. Juarez by KO hits the mark at +584, and Juarez by decision lands at +222. The fight being declared a draw lands at +1600.

Although Juarez does not possess as many professional bouts as his opponent Barrios, he does bring a lot of ring experience for a guy with only thirty-one fights. He was a decorated amateur, and even managed to win a silver medal at the Olympics.

With his successes in the amateur ranks, Juarez had high expectations going into the early part of his pro career. Unfortunately, Juarez has not lived up to those expectations, and now tries to get back to his winning ways after losing his last three out of five fights.

To have any chance at getting another world title opportunity Juarez must defeat Jorge " La Hiena" Barrios, a veteran of fifty-two professional fights.

Now many people are learning there is a new Ray Robinson in boxing today.

The 22 year old Robinson earlier this year was chosen as one of the top five prospects to watch in 2008 and so far the flashy boxer, whose hand speed has already been compared to some of boxing's greats, has not disappointed. Robinson recently took time out of his busy training regime to sit down and talk about his upcoming fight, what it means to be "The New" Ray Robinson, and how his dreams of becoming a world champion were almost ruined before he was even in high school.

On Saturday night Ivan "Iron Boy" Calderon, (31-0, 6KO's) returns to action in a rematch against former WBO champion Hugo "El Increible" Cazares, (26-4-1, 19KOs) live from the Ruben Rodriguez Coliseum, Bayamon, Puerto Rico.

Calderon opened as the favorite in the bout and money has continued to flow on "Iron Boy" knocking his number up to a€"240. Cazares supporters can grab the underdog money at + 200. The O/U on the bout is set at 11.5 rounds, with the under coming in at +250 and the over at -300.

Calderon by KO comes in at +623, while Calderon by decision will cost you -138. Cazares by KO hits the mark at +429, and Cazares by decision lands at +623. The odds the fight will be declared a draw land at +1800.

Just as I touched upon in the Ruiz/Valuev bout, location plays a huge roll in this fight. Ironically both of these rematches (Ruiz/Valuev and Calderon/Cazares) are being held in the exact same arena as their original fight.

The biggest difference between the two underdogs (Ruiz & Cazares) is the fact that Cazares has the size advantage over his opponent and brings real one-punch stopping power to the contest.

On Saturday night John Ruiz, (43-7-1, 29KO's) returns to action in a rematch against former WBA heavyweight champion Nikolay Valuev, (48-1, 34KOs) live from the Max Schmeling Halle, Prenzlauer Berg, Berlin, Germany.

Valuev opened as the clear favorite in the bout and money has continued to trickle in on the "Giant" knocking his number up to a€"360. Ruiz supporters can snatch the underdog money at + 300. The O/U on the bout is set at 9.5 rounds, with the under coming in at a whopping +410 and the over at -515.

Valuev by KO comes in at +364, while Valuev by decision will cost you -137. Ruiz by KO hits the mark at +1281, and Ruiz by decision lands at +400. The odds the fight will be declared a draw land at +2200.

While the style of Ruiz can only be described as atrocious, he has become a master at the one-two-hold method. It would appear Ruiz has stumbled onto a technique (can you call it that?) that can frustrate every fighter from journeymen status to world-class champions.

With the exception of the David Tua loss (KO 1) and the Roy Jones Jr. loss (L UD), most of his losses have come by split decision or Majority decision. There is no question Ruiz knows how to maximize the effectiveness of his hit and hold style.

The 38-year-old Southworth sustained the knee injury during a routine training session at American Kickboxing Academy (AKA) in San Jose. A physician, who pinpointed the affected areas, has ordered Southworth to undergo an MRI exam to determine the extent of the damage and to go through four to six weeks of physical therapy.
