Eric Raskin at ESPN.com is not so quick to look past the Jones-Trinidad fight, noting that the bout could almost serve as an eliminator to face the winner of Hopkins-Calzaghe.

Felix Chaves of the Las Cruces Sun-Times picks Jones via knockout within eight rounds.

Coyote Duran of Doghouse Boxing just wants a good fight, even flawed.

Tim Smith of the New York Daily News isn't quite sure what the hell to think.

From George Willis at the New York Post:

Seats are now being sold for $5,000, $3,500, $2,500, $1,500, $1,000, $750, $500, $250, $150, and $100. Originally, front-row ringside seats were being offered for $15,000 and the second row for $12,500. It's safe to assume none of those tickets was actually sold.

The Belfast Telegraph has a hype piece on John Duddy's next tune-up fight, which may well lead to another tune-up fight, which could lead to yet another tune-up fight.

Andrew Wake of Saddo Boxing has a look at the Ruslan Chagaev-Matt Skelton heavyweight title fight, one of Saturday's other two big fights.

Joe O'Connor of National Post takes on the junior featherweight title fight between Steve Molitor and Ricardo Castillo. I really think Castillo might be able to score the upset in that one.

Graham Houston penned an article on Oliver McCall, one of the oddest stories in boxing.
