Michael has been very, very good, but Torres is probably a little too much a little too soon.

I agree, Torres is a serious veteran and McDonald keeps forgetting that we're not in love anymore, and things will never be the same again!

Prediction: wrong Torres   wrong Submission   wrong Round 3  

I think if Torres is going to win, he needs to bring the old Miguel back.  Dirty 'stache, Mexican wolf-cut mullet, combined with reckless aggression, and phenomenal technique, especailly on the ground.

McDonald is young, well rounded, and he brings it.  If the lackluster, clean shaven, plodding forward with jabs version of Miguel shows up, McDonald will out work him.

This fight can go either way Mayday is undefeated but Torres is more seasoned either way it should be a good fight

Prediction: correct McDonald   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

Tough, tough fight to call. This is the step-up we wanted to see from McDonald after he looked really promising in his last contest. I think he catches Miguel proving his worth for an upcoming title shot. Mike is well rounded enough to survive with Miguel on the ground and this will be a statement to the Bantamweight division.

Torres is 31 .. I dont think that is past his prime. 

I just think this is the fight where McDonald shows hes the real deal. Future champ.

How can you not like either of these guys. I think this will be a damn good fight, and it's a big step up for Mayday. I think even if McDonald loses this one, he will look good and his stock will continue to rise.

i usually go with the most experienced here, unless theres a big physical advantage for the younger one.
i dont see Torres slowing down just now, so hes the safer pick imo.
