In 2008 Lewis commented on a possible match up with Riddick Bowe. "He waits until I am in retirement to call out my name," said Lewis. "I will come out of retirement to beat up that guy. I'll beat him up for free."
I'm gonna regret this, as I have every time I've ever changed a pick.
But I’d like to change my pick for ‘E’ to:
E. (2) – 2 – Booth by stoppage

"Dawson was NOT a hype job. Dude schooled Adamek, beat Tarver twice (neither competitive), beat Johnson twice (once close, once a wipeout) and even beat Harding when Harding was still good. That is not hype. Those are results. I love how people see a guy lose once and all of a sudden nothing they ever did means anything. You are dead wrong."

B. (2) – 2 – Nashiro decision
C. (2) – 2 – Mora
D. (1) – 1 – Trout to win (I’m confident Trout will outbox Alvarez, but not confident the judges will see it that way in Alvarez’s backyard)
