wow I had no idea the fight was tonight

lol me either til i was at a bar and the weigh in vid came up.

humberto soto call was a joke. Cortez is too good of a ref to make that call.

Cortez fucked up, Lorenzo got fucked up severely he should have really lost the match. Man was left on the ground for minutes bleeding all over the place.

What happened in the first match, I’m watching on Sentana sports the people seemed vex about one guys robes?

A bum “wins” a belt for getting beat up. Fuck cortez.

Fair enough with the decission you shouldn’t be swinging at someone when they are down on the ground, it happened to Roy Jones got disqualified for a similar thing I think.

Edit: British commentating always has chicken heads ‘‘best way to check for an underdog is to check who gets paid more in the fight’’, I swear De La Hoya was being paid more than Mayweather yet he was the somewhat underdog in that match up.

he destroyed diaz. no contest.

diaz won 4 sure

Diaz got his clock cleaned, he lost every round of that fight.

Pacquaio wins by knockout in the 9th round (2:24).

That was one hell of a boxing clinic Pacquiao put on Diaz for all nine rounds. Pacquiao was probably up on the cards for all rounds too.

link up the torrent when it comes available.

Stupid guy on Setana sports was saying how Khan would be the perfect match for Diaz, that Diaz is washed up now and shit. Diaz would destroy Khan it’s a match I would like to see still, so many British fighters get overrated, it’s unbelievable.

lol Pacquiao staying the fuck away from Cotto. Not dissing Pac in anyway, I just found that part of the interview funny. Manny’s got the smile on his face like, “the fuck you think I’m crazy? lol”

Pac was tee’ing off on Diaz. Diaz showed a lot of heart, but Pac’s hand and foot speed was way too much, as predicted. As a fellow southpaw, seeing Manny using his right hand was a joy to watch.

Pac could face Oscar de la Hoya at the end of this year, but don’t count on it. A fight with Ricky Hatton would be a good fight. And the same questions could be asked again weather Pacquiao could carry his power up “Another” weight division. There is a third fight with Juan Manuel Marquez if Marquez can win his fight against the linear lightweight champion, Joel Casamayor.

Less then a month until Cotto vs. Margarito.

I heard some fights on Setana and they are very biased towards their own country’s fighters. Khan is a hype job with a “factory made” undefeated record and has never been tested yet. This year hasn’t been kind to prospects. A fight with Juan, Julio or David Diaz or Michael Kitsidis, those fights would prove if Khan is a legit contender.

Yahoo sports has the best quality boxing photos:

Is Pac-Man big enough for Ricky Hatton?

I want Packie to fight other people other than the same Mexican motherfuckers in that one division,but at the same time,I don’t want him to get killed by someone that is a bigger weight.How much is Junior Welter over whatever PAc is?

Pac vs. Hatton, why not. Junior-welter is another five pounds north of Pac’s 135 lightweight division. Their styles make exciting fights and, on paper, Hatton is not that much bigger than Pac and Pac rehydrates to around 145 at the time of the fight. Pac’s promoter would probably make a fight with only Hatton in 140, not with some of the naturally bigger guys. Both fighters bring very passionate fans and would fill up an Las Vegas arena easy. Pac may fight again at the end of this year. Hatton has to get by Malignaggi in November ( which he should, imo).

But he isn’t a legit contender, he would just get exposed fighting these individuals.

As one filipino who doesnt want to ride pac’s nuts, i gotta say im happy he brought the knock out. It was odd not seeing him do his best the last couple of fights.
