There are several key fights coming up in the next couple of months.

Here are 10 Upcoming Big Fight Predictions.

Marcos Maidana KO5 Eric Morales
~ Morales way past his best. Maidana on the way up.

Robert Guerrero KO 10 Michael Katsidis
~ Expect a bloody good fight. Katsidis stopped on cuts.

Tomasz Adamek KO 4 Kevin McBride
~McBride loses the fight on his feet, but never loses his heart.

Andre Berto W12 Victor Ortiz
~Berto wins a good close fight, Ortiz proves his mettle.

Amir Khan KO8 Paul McCloskey
~McCloskey tough & game but over matched against Khan.

Juan Manuel Lopez K06 Orlando Salido
~Lopez answers Gamboa with a KO of his own.

Abner Mares W12 Joseph Agbeko
~Mares younger and better.

Andre Ward W12 Arthur Abraham
~Super 6 favorite Ward impressive outboxing Abraham.

Bernard Hopkins W12 Jean Pascal
~Hopkins finally becomes the oldest boxer to win a World Title.

Glenn Johnson W12 Carl Froch
~Upset! The talented, ageless Johnson unseats Froch, advances to Super 6 Finals.

One really big upcoming fight is missing from this list. I have deliberately held off (for now) on making a prediction about the upcoming Manny Pacquiao-Shane Mosley fight. I did this because I am not quite ready yet to commit to an official prediction about this fight. Many people think it will be an embarrassing, one sided blowout in favor of Manny Pacquiao but for some reason I do not subscribe to that thinking at all. While I tend to think Pacquiao should win, and probably will win but there is something about this match-up which leads me to believe that not only will Sugar Shane be competitive with The Pacman but that he just might have one last great performance left to possibly pull off the biggest upset in boxing since Frankie Randall stunned Julio Cesar Chavez in 1994, ending J.C. Superstar's historic unbeaten streak.
