ASU, he had a HUGE chance to send MAB to the hospital in the 12th round. It's in the 2:25 mark.

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2T9gOPY1gCI&mode=related&search="]YouTube - Pacquiao vs Barrera : Will to Win Oct 7, 2007 (Round 12)[/ame]

I guess Manny just has too much respect for a HOF fighter.

2:25 of the youtube clip or of the 12th round? I watched both and have no clue what your talking about.

I notice that the time goes backwards when the video is directly on LGK.

I'll just say 1:25 of round 12.

Sure MMA is getting fans from the boxing audience but I don't think those fans are leaving boxing completely.

I think the UFC is really killing the WWE fan base personally.

I agree 100% about boxing's lack of organization. Having ONE championship belt for each weight class would be a good place to start with improving boxing as a sport.

Winning a belt almost means nothing to these fighters. It's all about the money and making the biggest possible fight, with the biggest possible payday. Right after Pavlik won, everyone started talking about Pavlik moving up in weight to fight the winner of Calzaghe/Kessler.

Roy Jones vs Trinidad is a perfect example of what's wrong with boxing.

That part of the fight might epitomize the entire fight. Pac showed way too much respect for Barrera. If he pushed the pace earlier I think he could have taken Barrera out much earlier.

Saw Manny in the airport today. ****, I forgot to bring my cellphone.

Anyone else think that Kessler has one hell of a shot this Saturday vs Calzaghe?

I'm actually thinking about putting some $ on it.

Is the fight in Wales?

Kessler has a great chance to win. He's a slight underdog right now. I've already put money on him.

The fight is in Cardiff but I don't think Kessler will be fazed.

Just put 50.00$ on Kessler.

If my calculations are correct, the fight will be aired live from Wales @ 2:00 AM in the morning (6 PM PST). Is this correct?

Does anyone know if the Marquez/Juarez fight is on PPV? Or showtime?

Yea, 6 AM for us. I'm going to try and wake up but I have it set on my DVR. ALso I'm sure HBO will replay it later on at night.

Marquez-Juarez is on showtime. No way they could sell this as a PPV since it was rescheduled and the opponent changed. Should be a good night of boxing, but I think Juarez will get schooled. He has the tools but no heart.
