This one doesn't really require much explanation, as I see these bets as the least chalky of the proverbial "sure things" this weekend. Regarding the Forrest-Piccirillo fight, Forrest seems content to win on points at this stage of his career, as he'd prefer to box instead of risking danger by trying to take his opponent out. Although Piccirillo doesn't pose much of a threat to Forrest, he is a skilled boxer who knows how to survive if Forrest goes for the stoppage. Piccirillo hasn't been stopped in 51 professional bouts, including a decision loss to Ricardo Mayorga. If Mayorga couldn't get Piccirillo out early with his slugger's style, then I doubt that a technician like Forrest can do the trick. The Calderon-Esquer fight also looks destined to go the distance. Calderon has only stopped six opponents in 29 matches -- he's a slick boxer who doesn't often get hit as he counters and slides out of his opponent's reach. Meanwhile, Juan Esquer has never fought anyone close to Calderon's skill level, with his biggest win coming in his last fight when his pressure ruled the day against an aging Kermin Guardia. One concern might be that Esquer has fought at flyweight, while Calderon performed at minimumweight until his last bout against Hugo Cazares at light flyweight. But even if Esquer is able to slow Calderon down with some power shots, I don't see Calderon getting stopped.
