  1. Here's the Wash. Post piece: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/02/07/AR2008020703421.html

    This could be a good test for Darnell. Digital, your thoughts?

  2. I think Flores doesn't hit hard enough to stop Wilson from coming forward.

    Flores went a full 12 rounds with Chris Thomas, who was stopped in three by Emmanuel Nwodo, who was knocked out in 11 by Wilson.

    If you follow that "logic," Flores doesn't stand a chance. In reality, Flores's best bet is to outbox Wilson for 12 rounds. I'm not sure he can do that.

  3. Wilson is going to catch him around the seventh and knock him out. Too much power, Flores can't hurt D.
