Mosley vs Margarito

Shane is throwing hard. They're saying that Margarito was found with a foreign substance in his hand wraps which was then removed.

10-9 Mosley

Nothing spectacular. Tony was driving a stiff jab late in the round.

Gotta go with Mosley in Rd 2

Round 3 was fun. They're trading hard shots and it looks like Tony is settling down and can handle Shane's power.
10-9 Mosley

Shane is handling the fight. Really smart, moving well.
10-9

Round 5 Done- Mosley leads (likely anyhow) 50-45

It looks like Shane is affected when he has to taste Margarito's power, but Shane ties him up quickly and efficiently when they happens. Mosley is throwing bombs now in Rd 6!

Looks like Pacquiao is gonna fight Hatton in May. I thought he may wait for this one to play out, Mosley vs. Manny woulda been pretty great.

as usual, I passed out ! My recliner strikes again.

The good thing about Manny is he'll fight anyone. But the ongoing problem is always the matchup of promoters.
Mosley is pretty amazing for his age...if he's clean. Maybe he can be around for Manny's next one after Hatton.

Jorge Arce vs. Vic Darchinyan tonight on SHO

and Gus Johnson? is announcing the prelim? Holy Crap. I had non idea he was affiliated with SHO.

Damn...DeMarco busted up "Kid Diamond" and his nose...then won it out.

FYI -Marquez v Lopez on Showtime right now is a great fight!

Can I interest anyone in Haye V Harrison on saturday night (afternoon for you guys)?

If I'm around the computer I will check this out. Looks like I can get a stream for the fight. Who do you like?
I see there is a lot of trash talking between the fighters!

The feeling in England is that Haye is going to mop the floor with him and its all a formality. Its being billed as a bit of a 'memory lane/tribute' to Harrison in the unofficial media rather than a true competitive event.

However Ive watched boxing long enough to know nothing is a formality. Hayes of all people should know that after Valuev!

Helluva Fight on HBO between Lee and McEwen. Nice Middleweight Slugfest between an Irishman and a Scotsman.
Lee was getting out pointed and out boxed....then put McEwen DOWN in the last round with some heavy shots.

Now...another Middleweight battle coming next. If it is anything like the first, I'll be happy.

Nevermind...the 2nd fight is one sided as hell. Gonna be snooze fest.

Stick with the Rangers tonight!

Really great fight on HBO right now!

Khan v Peterson.

A Classic. They're slugging it out and now are down to the last 4 rounds. If they make it.

Well it ended with a thud and a poor penalty for Khan.

Scoring should be interesting, but these guys were a great match. They both ran out of steam in the last rounds but it was a lot of fun.

The Ref was definitely in Peterson's corner. Khan was tons of flash early and Peterson grinded back.

Waiting for the scoring.

ooooh Peterson via Split Decision. For once it was a tough call. Peterson got the benefit of a doubtful point deduction. Would love to see round by round scoring.

A rematch would be awesome.

HBO's "On Freddie Roach"

Boxing is a dying Sport. See one of the last true pillars of the traditional discipline.

Great Start of the series.

Khan v Garcia on HBO now has potential

Would love to see this Naseem Prince wannabee get toasted even if he is a Freddie Roach fighter...but he does have the skills

Bad Cut for Garcia...gonna be close to impossible now.

WOW...the ref let Khan stay in the fight...he was out on his feet!

3rd Knockdown...he calls it!!!!

Both fighters showed a ton of balls.

Manny Pacquiao got knocked the fuck out.

Round 5

They traded knockdowns up until then and Manny actually had the fight up until Marquez crushed him with a huge counter. Face down and out cold. Asleep.

Great fight.

Well, say goodbye to Floyd vs. Manny.

Doesn't matter at this point. It's too late for it to be a great fight.
Manny is not what he was...when it would have been epic.

This...

Manny was lacking the patience and tempo of the past. Constant motion, tagging in and out. Instead he looked like early Manny. He was swinging wildly and looking for the big shot more than doing the yeoman's work. He played right into Marquez' style. He tried to overwhelm with punches.

As soon as the first knock down happened I could see how this fight was going to go.

Pac may go on to a Mayweather fight, but the window for this fight is too late. Mayweather by nature of his ability going to have a longer career at the top. If Manny were to fight Mayweather remotely like he fought Marquez? Forget about it. Save the PPV money.

I think Manny has too many other things going on at this point. His Province was just devastated by a typhoon and they needed his leadership. Something that had to weigh heavy on him.

Damn I'm really sad I missed this one. Well sort of, last night was too fun to leave and go to a bar to watch

Clearly Pac has lost a step. We all knew it was going to happen eventually, no one just wanted to admit it was now. Fighting Mayweather would generate a billion dollars, but it wouldn't be as good as it were 3-5 years ago. Such a same.

now, what could have caused that? Hmm.... Concussions, maybe?

He ran out of big dots.

All fighters have concussions. It's the nature of the game. It's hard to tell how many they could take before they "lose a step." More then likely he was victimized by the following issue: ring miles

Or just getting old.

or lose: "I can dress myself!"


yeah, the Olympic-sized rings have so much more floor surface to account for...

This Figueroa dude ..Lightweight Champion is a POUNDER. SHO just finished his fight....a 1st Round KO.
