Scott Christ is the managing editor of Bad Left Hook and has been covering boxing for SB Nation since 2006.

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.
