Margarito is next for the Pacman

The possibilities of a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight may be getting slimmer and slimmer as time goes by despite of the hopes of the many that there will be a time that this dubbed mega-fight will take place in reality not just in our imaginations.

UFC 119: Features Lytle-Serra rematch


Matt Serra and Chris Lytle will hook 'em up one more time in a rematch from The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 4 Finale when they throw leather at the upcoming UFC 119 event scheduled for the Conseco Fieldhouse on Sept. 25 in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Serra (11-6) narrowly squeaked past his fellow finalist on "The Comeback" edition of the Spike TV reality show. That win guaranteed him a shot at UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre -- and there isn't a mixed martial arts fan alive that doesn't know how that turned out.

Unfortunately "The Terror" would give the belt back to "Rush" in their rematch at UFC 83 and go on to drop a unanimous decision loss to bitter rival Matt Hughes at UFC 98 one year later.

The stocky grappler returned to the win column with a technical knockout victory over Frank Trigg at UFC 109 earlier this year. Serra has only competed four times since his 2006 bout with Lytle -- compared to the 11 scraps clocked in by "Lights Out."

The Filipino Flash KOd 'Tyson'

An awesome finish by an awesome fighter. WBA interim super flyweight champion Nonito ‘Filipino Flash’ Donaire (24-1, 16 KOs) scored an eighth round TKO over Hernan ‘Tyson’ Marquez (27-2, 20 KOs). Donaire fought from the southpaw stance for the first four rounds and had mixed results. He switched back to his normal orthodox stance in round five and dropped Marquez with a series of big punches. Donaire was in command from that point on. The end came in round eight when Marquez was floored by a hard uppercut in round eight.

Juanma KOd Concepcion

WBO Featherweight Champion Juan Manuel Lopez (29-0, 26 KOs) scored a spectacular second round KO over Bernabe Concepcion (28-4-1, 15 KOs) on Saturday night at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot in Hato Rey, Puerto Rico. In a wild round one, Juanma dropped Concepcion and went for the KO but was knocked down himself by Concepcion near the end of the round. Lopez roared back to floor Concepcion twice in round two, the second time the bout was stopped . Time was 2:37. Next up for Juanma is a bout with Mexican ring legend Rafael Marquez.

UFC 116: Brock made Carwin submit

I was not able to watch UFC 116 on TV for I was busy doing something else, yah' something else; so I missed one of the greatest and 'biggest' fights in UFC history. Brock Lesnar against Shane Carwin could had me jumping and shouting in excitement with a beer on my hand... it didn't happen. So sad.

It's only 20 minutes ago that I've learned about the outcome of the fight, Brock had made Carwin submit thru an 'arm-triangle-choke'! Wow! So Lesnar won the fight thru submission? I was expecting a ground-and-pound from the big man. But I guess Brock had a plan B (submission) for he was hurt bad on the first round, he was even cut. A big comeback for him on the second round. Amazing.

And so, the record of Carwin had been marred, I would definitely like to see a rematch for this fight; I'm sure a lot of UFC fans do, too.

UFC 115: Liddell Got Iced by Franklin

It was, to many, an unexpected way for the main event of UFC 115 to end between Rich Franklin and Chuck "Ice Man" Liddell. Also for me, my prediction was it would be Franklin going down. I was wrong.

A big out-of-nowhere right hand hit Liddell that made him out-cold; Franklin followed up with a couple more punches and it was all over. Did Franklin put Chuck's career out for good? Well...

Cotto defeats Foreman by KO in 9


He is back, he is back stronger!

Former two division world champion Miguel Cotto (34-2,27 KOs) has taken over another division, dethroning WBA super welterweight champion Yuri Foreman (28-0, 8 KOs) in nine rounds on Saturday night in the first fight card at New York City’s famed Yankee Stadium site in 34 years. Now trained by Emanuel Steward, Cotto looked extremely sharp outboxing Foreman over the first six rounds and in the seventh round Foreman’s right knee buckled compromising his mobility. Someone at ringside threw in a towel in the eighth round and people entered the ring, but referee Arthur Mercante Jr. threw everyone out and continued the fight. Cotto continued to batter Foreman dropping him with a left to the body in round nine and the bout was waved off.

Rashad Evans wins UFC 114


It was all over, much has been said till it was done.

"Sugar" Rashad Evans had defeated Quinton "Rampage" Jackson via unanimous decision (UD) on their light-heavyweight grudge match for a possible title shot against Mauricio "Shogun" Rua. Evans controlled rounds 1 and 2, scored good points which would be enough to win the game but Rampage exploded in the last round - landed power shots that hurt Rashad. However, Evans was able to get up and maintain his composure and had even scored take-downs. It was an exciting fight that a lot of MMA/UFC fans would like to see a rematch.

Congratulations to both fighters.

UFC's White sliced out Kimbo


UFC president Dana White laid down the challenge to Internet phenom Kimbo Slice and the street fighter accepted it. Kimbo made it through his stint on Season 10 of "The Ultimate Fighter" and got two more fights with the promotion.

Slice went 1-1 in the UFC after the reality show, including a bad loss Saturday night at UFC 113 against Matt Mitrione. The fight was so one-sided, the UFC president decided to give Kimbo, 36, his pink slip.

"That's probably Kimbo's last fight in the UFC," White said. "Listen, Kimbo made it farther than I thought he would."

As White was exiting the press conference for a postfight television interview, he was asked one more time about Kimbo's future. A reporter pushed him on the "probably" in his original Kimbo quote. White then confirmed definitively that Slice was gone.

Unlike some cases where other high-profile fighters were sent packing, White sounded genuinely disappointed to fire him.

Margarito is back!


He's back! Strong and dangerous.

The former welterweight champion, Antonio "Tijuana Tornado" Margarito is back! A comeback victory is so sweet for him as he had won a ten-round unanimous decision over Roberto “La Amenaza” Garcia on Saturday night before a crowd of 17,000+ at La Plaza de Toros Monumental in Mexico. Margarito dropped Garcia in round one and was in command from the get-go. Garcia was game and aggressive, but Margarito was more accurate and effective with his combinations. Referee Guadalupe Garcia took a points from Garcia for a headbutt in round eight and a low blow in the tenth. Scores were 99-89, 100-88, 99-90.

UFC 113: Machida-Shogun 2


Their first meeting of these two great fighters was one of the most controversial of 2009. After five brutal rounds it appeared as though the challenger had done enough to best the unbeaten champion. The judges didn’t agree. In an unusual circumstance, the fallen challenger Mauricio “Shogun” Rua was granted an immediate rematch against UFC light heavyweight champion Lyoto “The Dragon” Machida. Saturday night’s main event will feature two warriors seeking different types of respect. For the challenger, it’s vindication. For the champion, redemption. Let’s take a look at a rematch of one of last year’s best as Machida takes on “Shogun” at UFC 113.

Edwin Valero ended life the coward way?

Most of this article is a repost.

CARACAS, Venezuela – Former boxing champion Edwin Valero, who had a spectacular career with 27 straight knockouts and flouted a tattoo of President Hugo Chavez on his chest, hanged himself in his jail cell Monday after being arrested for stabbing his wife to death, police said.

The former lightweight champion used the sweat pants he was wearing to hang himself from a bar in the cell, said his lawyer, Milda Mora.

Valero, 28, had problems with alcohol and cocaine addiction and struggled with depression. He had previously been suspected of assaulting his wife and was charged last month with harassing her and threatening personnel at a hospital where she was treated for injuries.

Valero's 24-year-old wife, Jennifer Carolina Viera, was found dead in a hotel room on Sunday, and police said the fighter emerged telling hotel security he had killed her.

Valero was found hanging in his cell early Monday by another inmate, who alerted authorities in the police lockup in north-central Carabobo state, Federal Police Chief Wilmer Flores told reporters. He said Valero still showed signs of life when they took him down, but they were unable to save him.

The former WBA super featherweight and WBC lightweight champion was a household name in Venezuela and had a huge image of Venezuela's president tattooed on his chest along with the country's yellow, blue and red flag.

A man whose fists carried him from poverty in a small town to fame, Valero's all-action style soon earned him a reputation as a tough, explosive crowd-pleaser, and his last victory in Mexico in February over Antonio DeMarco brought his record to 27-0 — all knockouts. Venezuelans called him "Inca," alluding to an Indian warrior, while elsewhere he was called "Dinamita," or dynamite.

Valero had a turbulent disposition and had been in trouble with the law before, for violent incidents and problems with alcohol and drugs.

Last month, he was charged with harassing his wife and threatening medical personnel who treated her at a hospital in the western city of Merida. Police arrested Valero following an argument with a doctor and nurse at the hospital, where his wife was being treated for injuries including a punctured lung and broken ribs.

The Attorney General's Office said in a statement that Valero was detained March 25 on suspicion of assaulting his wife, but his wife told a police officer her injuries were due to a fall. When the boxer arrived moments later, he forbade Viera from speaking to the police officer and spoke threateningly to the officer, prosecutors said in a statement.

A prosecutor had asked a court to keep Valero in jail, the Attorney General's Office said. But a judge instead allowed him to remain free under certain conditions including that he appear in court every 90 days, said Mora, his lawyer.

Mora told The Associated Press that after the incident Valero was held for nine days in a psychiatric hospital in Merida, where he underwent police-supervised rehabilitation. She said people close to the fighter posted bail on April 7 and he was allowed to go free.

Silva is victorious | Penn falls

Anderson “The Spider” Silva retained his title, defeating Demian Maia via unanimous decision. The uneventful contest, which drew boos from the crowd, also drew a post-fight apology from Silva. ”I apologize to everybody. I don’t know what got into me,” he said.

Frankie Edgar found an “Answer” for “The Prodigy,” snaring the UFC lightweight title from BJ Penn via unanimous decision. The bout was largely waged on the feet as the crafty Edgar used head movement and fast feet to keep the previously unstoppable Penn off balance. The judges scored the bout 50-45, 48-47 and 49-46.

In a battle of legends, Matt Hughes goes 2-0 against the Gracie family, defeating Renzo Gracie via TKO in the final round. The former UFC welterweight champion picked the 43-year-old Gracie apart throughout the fight with a series of unchecked leg kicks. Hughes rocked a wobbly Gracie with a hard shot that sent the Brazilian back into the cage, prompting referee Herb Dean to intervene. Gracie was barely able to stand at the conclusion of the bout.

Rafael dos Anjos defeated Terry Etim with an arm bar in round two. The official time was 4:30. The loss was Etim’s first in the Octagon. With the victory, dos Anjos extends his UFC win streak to three.

Mark Munoz staged an incredible comeback victory, defeating Ultimate Fighter winner Kendall Grove via TKO midway thru second round to kick off the night’s main card.

Age is not the Real Deal


Age doesn't really matter.. to some, especially in the world of boxing.

47-year-old, four-time world heavyweight champion Evander "The Real Deal" Holyfield (43-10-2, 28 KOs) scored an eighth round TKO over 41-year-old Frans Botha (47-5-3, 28 KOs) on Saturday night at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas. Botha did well early but Holyfield came on in round six, hurt Botha in the seventh, knocked Botha down in the eighth and referee Russell Mora stopped it moments later. Time was :55. With the win Holyfield claims Botha’s WBF heavyweight belt.

“He is a very good defensive fighter,” Holyfield said after the fight. “He’s a smart fighter, too. His right hand had a lot of power and he’s also a very quick big man. I gave myself a 7. I can get better. I’d been off a long time and I know I can get better. I want to come back very soon.” Botha remarked, “Evander is a great fighter. He capitalized on my mistakes. I thought I had him going early. I have to go home and sit down with my team.”

Hopkins defeats Jones Jr

It was a sweet revenge for the fallen as he had risen to dominate.

17 years after their first fight, ring legend Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins (51-5-1, 32 KOs) evened the score against 41-year-old fellow legend Roy Jones Jr. (54-7, 40 KOs) winning a foul-filled twelve round unanimous decision on Saturday night in a light heavyweight bout at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. The first five rounds were measured, tactical and sometimes dirty, but things really heated up in round six after Hopkins went down from a seemingly light rabbit punch, then furiously went after Jones, continuing to fight even after the bell and the fighters had to be restrained by security. After a Hopkins rabbit punch in round eight, Jones responded with a rabbit punch that sent Hopkins to the canvas again. Hopkins went down for a third time from a borderline low blow in round ten. Action stopped in the eleventh so the ring doctor could look at a cut Jones sustained from a headbutt, ruled unintentional. A slow twelfth round brought boos from the crowd. In the end, Hopkins prevailed 117-110, 117-110, 118-109.

Ruiz had been Hayed


WBA heavyweight champion David "Hayemaker" Haye (24-0, 22 KOs) is still the champ after he had scored a 9th round TKO over 38-year-old former champ John Ruiz (44-9-1, 30 KOs) on Saturday night in Manchester, England. Haye dropped Ruiz twice in round one, the first time with the right hand almost immediately, the second time with a rabbit punch. Haye was deducted a point for the rabbit punch, but Ruiz was still given a count and no time to recover from the foul. A determined Ruiz survived the round. Haye floored Ruiz again at the end of round five and again early in round six. Ruiz’ corner finally threw in the towel to stop the punishment in round nine.

In round nine Ruiz continued to attack the Brit but at the end of the second minute the champion exploded with the right-left-right combination, hurting Ruiz, 38, badly with several crisp blows. As famed trainer Miguel Diaz appeared on the ring apron and began waving towel, referee Perez Pineda stepped in and halted the action at 2:01.

Abraham disqualified as Dirrell gets victory


In SHOWTIME’s much acclaimed “Super Six” super middleweight tournament, Andre Dirrell (19-1, 13 KOs) won by disqualification over previously unbeaten Arthur Abraham (31-1, 25 KOs) on Saturday night at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan. Dirrell dominated an inactive Abraham in rounds one and two. Abraham came on in round three, but Dirrell dropped an off-balance Abraham in round four. Dirrell again outworked Abraham in rounds five through seven. Abraham was cut over the right eye in round seven. An increasingly desperate Abraham tried to land a KO punch and floored Dirrell in the tenth, inexplicably waved off by referee Laurence Cole. After Dirrell slipped in the eleventh, he was knocked cold by Abraham. Abraham was disqualified by Cole at 1:13. At the time of the DQ, Dirrell was ahead 97-92, 98-91, 97-92. Abraham later insisted that Dirrell wasn’t down when he threw the final punch. A shaken Dirrell will be taken to the hospital for tests.

UFC 111: GSP still victorious, Carwin still undefeated

He is truly a complete MMA fighter as he had walked out of UFC 111 victorious once again. Georges St-Pierre was on top of his game (though he apologized to the fans for such performance) as he had scored a lopsided victory over Dan "The Outlaw" Hardy. We all know that GSP is a very skilled and talented fighter as he had always put Hardy on the ground, controlled the temp and shoot some submission moves.

On the other hand, Shane Carwin claimed the UFC interim heavyweight championship with a dramatic knockout of former champion Frank Mir at 3:48 of the opening stanza. The beginning of the end came as Carwin pinned Mir against the cage and reigned down a series of blows that sent Mir crumbling to the canvas. Carwin flattened Mir out and landed several more unanswered shots before the referee stepped in to save the Las Vegan from further damage.

With a 12-0 record, Carwin will likely meet heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar in July for a unification bout.

"Bones" Jones defeated Vera by TKO


"Why have a Thai match against someone who may be better than me at it?" was the answer of Jon "Bones" Jones when he was asked on why he had focused more on his striking that had made him score a first-round TKO over Brandon "The Truth" Vera.

Both, Jones and Vera, were both coming off losses and looking to become reestablished as contenders in the light heavyweight division.

When the round opened, Jones scored an early hip toss take-down but Vera scrambled back to his feet. The fighters exchanged strikes and Jones scored with a double leg take-down. From his back Vera landed an illegal up-kick to the face of Jones that seemed to hurt Jones. The referee took a penalty point from Vera and the fight resumed on the ground with Jones in the guard of Vera.

Jones postured up and landed a strong elbow that hurt Vera. Jones followed with several punches that made Vera roll away to escape the strikes and Jones landed more punches until the referee stopped the bout giving the TKO win to Jon Jones at 3:19 of round one.

Mayweather-Mosley would be another exciting event.


With The Event just happened in Dallas, Texas where the pound-for-pound champion Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao became victorious once again in front of 51,000 boxing fans what's next for us to wait? Obviously the Mayweather-Mosley fight!

The undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr. (40W-0L-25KOs) will face Shane Mosley (46W-5L-39KOs) in a welterweight bout that will surely make an impact to the boxing business. This time the spotlight will be back in Las Vegas, coming from Dallas. There is a chance that Pacquiao will be fighting the winner of the Mayweather-Mosley fight; however, seems like the Pacman would want Mayweather more than anybody else. Well, there are a lot of hopefuls.

Mayweather was bored by Pacquiao's last fight?

I believe that the pound-for-pound king and WBO welterweight champion, Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao put on a good fight against Joshua Clottey during their recent fight where the Filipino pride won via a one-sided unanimous decision; the thing that made the event looks like a not-a-pacquiao type of fight is that there was no knock-down. Seriously, a lot of people had predicted and expected that Clottey would hit the ground; it never happen. Because of this, a lot of critics are claiming that the Pacman had upset a lot of boxing fans.

Upset?

Oh c'mon! The victory itself is sweet and Pacquiao is phenomenal. Even team Clottey, I think, was not upset about the outcome of the fight; it was a privilege to fight the best boxer in the world today.

Upset? Who's upset?

There is one thing that, I think, was upset not just for the victory of Pacquiao but even with the success of The Event held in Dallas, it's Floyd Mayweather Jr. The ever boastful Floyd had talked again saying that the effect of HGH to Pacquiao is just great; Mayweather also claimed that Manny put on a boring fight. Well, I remember Mayweather Jr., days back, saying something about focusing (talking) on his next fight with Shane Mosley instead of talking about Pacquiao; he just can't stop thinking about the Pacman. He's haunted.

Well, Mayweather should do his best to win against Mosley if he wants another shot to face Pacquiao in a multi-million mega-fight. Good luck to his next bout.

Vazquez Jr makes history, KOd Sonsona


It's done and history has been written! In a clash for the vacant WBO junior featherweight championship, Wilfredo Vazquez, Jr. (18-0-1, 15 KOs) scored an impressive fourth round KO over previously unbeaten former WBO super flyweight champion Marvin Sonsona (14-1-1, 12 KOs) on Saturday night at the Coliseo Ruben Rodriguez in Bayamon, Puerto Rico. Vazquez Jr., son of Puerto Rican ring great Wilfredo Vazquez, took over the fight in round two and battered the 19-year-old former 115lb champion who had moved up two divisions to the deck in the fourth. A Vazquez left hook to the body ended it for Sonsona at the 2:01 mark.

Another Battle of the Undefeated

Ending the month of February with an exciting fight between two undefeated fighters is just sensational. Another talented Filipino boxer, Marvin "Marvelous" Sonsona will do everything for the gold as he will face Wilfredo “WV2” Vazquez, Jr. of Puerto Rico for the vacant World Boxing Organization (WBO) junior featherweight title. Vazquez, Jr. will step in the ring with an impressive stats of 17W-0L-1D with 14KOs; while Sonsona will try to elevate his own 14W-0L-1D with 12KOs. The event will be held at the Ruben Rodriquez Coliseum in Bayamon, Puerto Rico on the 28th of February.

Vazquez, Jr., the son of 2-time world champion Wilfredo Vazquez, Sr., plans to make history as he will be the first son of a Puerto Rican boxing champion to win a world title. Well, that is if he wins. On the other hand, if Sonsona will be victorious then he will be the youngest Filipino to win two world titles in two different weight divisions.

Well, will this fight be like the historical "Undefeated" match between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Ricky Hatton last 2007?

UFC 110: Silva had defeated Bisping

Wanderlei "The Axe Murderer" Silva had put up to a good performance once again as he had defeated Michael Bisping via unanimous decision. Silva was just awesome with his kicks and strikes that had him won over Bisping's defense.

"The Filipino Flash" Donaire defeats Vargas

WBA interim super flyweight interim champion Nonito "Filipino Flash" Donaire (23W-1L-15KOs) scored a third round KO over late sub Manuel ‘Chango’ Vargas (26W-5L-1D-11KOs) in a non-title bout on Saturday night at the famous Las Vegas Hilton Hotel/Casino. Donaire was in command all the way before laying out Vargas for the count with a left uppercut at 1:33. After original challenger Gerson Guerrero failed his physical, Vargas, who was preparing for the WBC title at 108 lbs moved up two divisions on three days notice.

Other Results:
The full WBO bantamweight champion Fernando Montiel (40W-2L-2D, 30KOs) needed just 2:06 to annihilate previously unbeaten Ciso Morales (14W-1L, 8KOs). A left hand to the body put Morales down for the count.

In a clash for the vacant WBO interim bantamweight championship, #1 contender Eric Morel (42W-2L, 21KOs) took a split decision against #2 contender Gerry Penalosa (54W-8L, 34KOs). Two unintentional headbutts in round six left Penalosa with cuts over both eyes, but the 38-year-old Filipino upped the pressure down the stretch and seemed to deserve the decision. Scores were 115-113, 116-112 Morel, 115-113 Penalosa.

In what is essentially an unofficial featherweight eliminator, Bernabe Concepcion (30W-2L-1D, 17KOs) won a ten round unanimous decision over Mario Santiago (21W-2L-1D, 14KOs) to earn a summer title shot against WBO champ Juan Manuel Lopez. With Manny Pacquiao looking on, Concepcion dropped Santiago in round six, then survived a late Santiago rally to win by scores of 98-91, 96-93, 97-92.

Edwin Valero is Explosive!


A Knockout Artist's Performance

I knew this would happen! Edwin Valero keeping up his clean record, again, had an explosive and astonishing performance as he had defeated the Mexican, Antonio DeMarco, via TKO in the 9th round thus retaining the World Boxing Council (WBC) lightweight title. He had proved himself to be the better fighter as he had totally took control of the fight; he had dominated DeMarco despite having a cut on his face. Valero, of Venezuela, is just sensational elevating his career stats to 27W-0L-27KOs. Awesome!

Being outboxed and outclassed by the Venezuelan, DeMarco was exhausted and beaten at the end of the 9th round that prompted the referee to stop the fight. He had dropped his career fight record to 23W-2L-1D with 17KOs.

Valero to fight Pacquiao

Who doesn't want to fight the pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao? His name is like the number-one most wanted fighter on the list. Fight the Pacman for money, for honor, for bragging rights.

Edwin Valero said he would like to fight Pacquiao. Now that would be another must-see fight if it will happen. Valero would definitely would go up the weights if he wants the Filipino boxer to be with him in a ring. Being in his prime, I believe Valero can keep his strength and power if ever he would be in welterweight.

Pacquiao-Valero in the future? I would say "Yes" for it in a poll.

Randy Coture chokes Mark Coleman to victory

One legend had become victorious as the other fell. The battle of the two of UFC's legendary fighters is over.

Randy Coture, once again with an amazing performance, had dominated Mark Coleman and won with a rare submission victory (rear naked choke) during their bout for the UFC 109 [Relentless] event.

Couture had dominated the first round of the fight and had Coleman exhausted on the bell. On the second round, Randy had the chance to be on full mount and he was pounding on Mark, the latter then gave his back and this had let Couture established a rear naked choke. Tired and defenseless, Coleman decided to retire and tap.

Congratulations to Randy "The Natural" Couture for the impressive victory.

Valero-DeMarco: fights and weights


This is one good fight that I want to watch! Knockout artist and undefeated lightweight champion Edwin "Dinamita" Valero (26W-0L-26KO) of Venezuela will be fighting interim champion Antonio DeMarco (23W-1L-1D-17KO) of Mexico on their much anticipated world title showdown on Saturday night in Monterrey, Mexico.

Coming from a TKO win against Hector Velazquez last December 2009, Valero will try to keep his perfect record as he will get pumped-up again to showcase his KO skills. Though he will be fighting on DeMarco's backyard, Dinamita would the power advantage. After this fight I would like to see Valero climb up the weights for the bigger guys.

Edwin Valero 135 vs. Antonio DeMarco 135
Luis Carlos Abregu 147 vs. Richard Gutierrez 147

Guerrero: I can beat Donaire

“Donarie looks very fast and has quick hands, but I don’t fear him I feel confident enough in my own abilities to say that Mexico will have a new world champion that night in Las Vegas,” said Gerson "Nene" Guerrero. The Mexican warrior has 15 plus years in boxing and has won 34 fights with 26 knockouts and only eight defeats. Guerrero knows that he is not the most well-known boxer in the world, but neither was Nonito Donaire a few years back when he demolished Vic Darchinyan and became a world champion. “I know that this is the most important fight of my life and I know how good Donaire is, but I know I can beat him,” said Guerrero. Guerrero will take on Donaire in the main event of “Latin Fury 13/Pinoy Power 3,” a big championship pay-per-view card that Top Rank will telecast live from the Hilton Hotel in Las Vegas.

The Rivals: Hopkins vs. Jones II


I never expected this event will ever happen, but it's now on and for real!

The two legendary boxers and future Hall of Famers will finally collide for their much-anticipated and long-waited rematch; Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins and Roy "The Terminator" Jones Jr. will face each other again after 17 years. The event is called The Rivals: Hopkins vs. Jones II.

Boxing fans had been wanting this rematch to happen after the two boxers first fight on May 1993 when Jones Jr. defeated Hopkins via unanimous decision for the vacant IBF Middleweight title.

The sure-fire bout will happen
on April 3 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. This for for the ultimate bragging rights to leave no doubts to who's the better fighter. Hopkins (50-5-1, 32 KOs) and Jones (54-6, 40 KOs) are considered best fighters in boxing history.

Though I was not able to watch (live) their first meeting I can't wait to see this fight.

Erik "El Terrible" Morales wants to be champion again


After months of speculation and uncertainty if he will be fighting again, Erik "El Terrible" Morales from Tijuana had just confirmed that he would be back to fight again; ready to be world champion one more time. The question that's kept hanging is on what weight would he be fighting in.

There are talks that he will be entering the hot and exciting welterweight division where the names of Manny Pacquiao, Shane Mosley, Floyd Mayweather Jr., Miguel Cotto and Joshua Clottey are making some loud buzz. If some may not know, Morales was the last boxer to defeat the pound-for-pound champion Pacquiao during their first meeting of their trilogy match.

After a long rest, I've been thinking if Erik still got his power and speed; especially that he had lost his last four fights: unanimous decision against Zahir Raheem and David Diaz, a KO and a TKO from Pacquiao. Though he had claimed that he had been in the gym almost everytime, getting shape-up, the latest photo that I've seen is that he's somewhat overweight. Morales will be sporting a 48W(34KO)-6L-0D record.

UFC 109: Relentless (Clash of Legends)


The UFC 109 (Relentless) could be one of the most exciting UFC events for the year 2010! Though it will be happening early for the year, the main event, along with the supporting bouts, is already considered as a powerhouse of fights.

The clash of legends!

I've been waiting for a fight like this, I know you do too. A fight between two great fighters of all time. UFC fans have waited ten years for when Hall of Famers Randy “The Natural” Couture and Mark “The Hammer” Coleman finally square off in a battle for the ages.

Couture will be entering the octagon with a record of 17W-10L-0D; his last fight was a victory against Brandon Vera on UFC 105. On the other hand, Coleman will try to make his record 16W-9L-0D look better.

The UFC's top two middleweight contenders, Nate Marquardt and Chael Sonnen, collide in a bout that will move the winner one step closer to a world title shot. Plus, two of the game's 170-pound superstars, former champion Matt Serra and two-time title challenger Frank Trigg, meet for the first time in a pivotal matchup.

UFC 109: Relentless, Saturday, February 6, live on Pay-Per-View from the Mandalay Bay Events Center, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Mosley for Mayweather?

So after years of waiting it's going to happen this year, Floyd Mayweather versus Shane Mosley. Or is it?

The Mayweather-Mosley fight had been on deck for a very long time that most boxing fans had almost believe that it will never happen, especially when Floyd had been saying that Mosley is not good enough for him. If the fight would really get ironed out then it would likely take place on May in Las Vegas, no official announcement yet. The only thing that I could be sure of is that there is no Top Rank-Golden Boy showdown.

For me, this would be a good and interesting matchup since the two great boxers had been throwing trash talks to each other till now. Mosley had been wanting to fight Mayweather. He is going to get it, hopefully.

Hopefully?

Well, if the camp of Mayweather will not be throwing their terms again about that random blood testing prior to fight then the bout will happen. Definitely.

There are talks around that Manny Pacquiao had said 'NO' to the random blood testing even though he's clean then how would Mosley react? 'NO! NO! NO!' (There was a claim that he'd been into 'it' before.)

I would say that Mayweather is doing a good thing in finding himself accepting Mosley as his opponent after the $40M fight with the Pacman went off. It would be better if it would really happen.

Maynard defeats Diaz

UFC lightweight contender Gray Maynard kept his unbeaten streak in tact by defeating The Ultimate Fighter 5 winner Nate Diaz by split decision on the campus of George Mason University in Fairfax, Va. Judges’ scorecards read 29-28 Diaz, 30-27 Maynard and 29-28 Maynard.

Lightweight Evan Dunham impressively submitted The Ultimate Fighter 8 winner Efrain Escudero in the final round of an exciting lightweight contest. The tap came at 1:59.

Battling back from tremendous adversity in the first round Aaron “A-Train” Simpson used his heavy hands and tremendous wrestling to defeat “Filthy” Tom Lawlor via split decision. Judges’ scorecards read 29-28 in favor of Lawlor and 29-28 twice in favor of Simpson.

In his first Octagon appearance of 2010, The Ultimate Fighter 7 winner Amir Sadollah soundly defeated “Bad” Brad Blackburn over three rounds en route to winning a unanimous decision. Judges’ scorecards all read the same, 30-27 in favor of Amir Sadollah.

Rory MacDonald finished MMA veteran Mike “The Joker” Guymon in the first round with a tight armbar at 4:27.

Middleweight Gerald Harris defeated newcomer John Salter via TKO in the third round after landing a vicious series of punches and elbows from the top position.

In a middleweight match up, Nick Catone defeated The Ultimate Fighter alum Jesse Forbes via split decision. After three rounds of action highlighted by numerous exchanges, all three judges’ scorecards read the same, 29-28, twice in favor of Catone giving him the split decision victory.

Lightweight Rafael dos Anjos outworked Kyle Bradley over three rounds to earn a unanimous decision victory. All three judges’ scorecards read the same, 30-27.

After three grueling rounds, lightweights Thiago Tavares and Nik Lentz battled to an unpopular majority draw. Scorecards read 29-27, and 28-28 twice.

Middleweight star and former reality star Chris “The Crippler” Leben defeated Jay Silva via unanimous decision. Scorecards all read the same, 30-27.

Rick Story received the judges’ nod over opponent Jesse Lennox after three rounds. Scores read 30-27 twice and 29-28 in favor of Story.

Mike Tyson is back in the ring


Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson returned to professional wrestling on Monday night in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Tyson who has previously worked with the WWF/WWE several times, appeared in the ring wearing a black t-shirt and black full length trousers in a tag-team match, which ended when “Iron Mike” suddenly turned on his own partner Chris Jericho and floored him with a right hand.

UFC Fight Night™: Maynard vs Diaz


The Maynard-Diaz main-event for the UFC Fight Night™ Live on 01/11/2010 may not be a high-profile one but it is a very important fight under the lightweight division as to know who could have the bragging rights to have a possible match-up for lightweight champion BJ "Prodigy" Penn. As we all know, just recently, Penn demolished Diego Sanchez on their UFC 107 championship match. In addition, The Prodigy had already defeated three more top contenders in Joe Stevenson, Sean Sherk and Kenny Florian.

Gray Maynard’s nickname “The Bully” is a picture perfect way to describe his fighting style. With strength that would make Hercules jealous, Maynard bullies his opponents around the cage with his powerful wrestling base and overwhelming ground control.

Recently, the All-American wrestler has tightened up his boxing ability along with his submission defense, making “The Bully” even more difficult to deal with than before.

If there’s one thing that can be learned from this sport, it's that there is never a sure-thing for any fight. No matter how much a fighter is favored to win, anyone can be beat on any given night. It’s that type of unpredictability that makes MMA so much fun to watch.

It’s mind-boggling that everyone is looking past Nate Diaz in this fight. Diaz has already submitted Maynard before so he very well could do the same thing again. His long reach-advantage frustrated Maynard in the first fight; and while Maynard has developed his striking over the years, the long reach of Diaz will still be a problem for him in the octagon.

Pacquiao-Mayweather: Update

After nine hours of mediation with retired federal judge Daniel Weinstein, the proposed March 13 super fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao is no closer to fruition. Among those on hand at Tuesday’s meeting in Santa Monica were Bob Arum and Todd duBoef of Top Rank, Oscar De La Hoya and Richard Schaefer of Golden Boy and Mayweather’s manager Al Haymon. Weinstein has placed a gag order on the proceedings, so neither camp is talking although negotiations are said to be ongoing.

Miguel Cotto, Sr. passes at 57


Miguel Cotto Sr., the father of former two-division titleholder Miguel Cotto, passed away at the age of 57 in Puerto Rico on Sunday morning, the apparent victim of a heart attack, according to El Nuevo Dia.

The the Puerto Rican daily newspaper reported that Cotto Sr., who suffered from health problems such as asthma and sometimes needed the assistance of an oxygen tank to assist his breathing, was driving early Sunday, felt ill, stopped the car and reportedly asked for help before collapsing.

Cotto Sr., who served in the Puerto Rican National Guard for 25 years and worked Cotto's corner during the fighter's loss to Manny Pacquiao on Nov. 14, was very close to his son.

Rest in peace.

Evans defeats Silva, wants Rampage

Thiago Silva nearly knocked out former light heavyweight champion Rashad Evans with a pair of crushing right hands midway through the third round of their fight Saturday in the main event of UFC 108 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Silva, though, did precious little other than that, particularly in the first two rounds, and that cost him a potential victory.

Evans (14-1-1) won the first two rounds and Silva (14-2) took the third, but Evans won a unanimous decision victory, earning 29-28 scores from all three judges.

The former UFC light heavyweight champion used his wrestling and his movement to keep Silva off-balance for most of the first two rounds. Silva never seemed to be able to mount much offense and Evans took him down repeatedly.

But the fight turned dramatically in the third. Silva connected with a pair of hard right hands as they were fighting near the fence and it was clear that Evans, who had been knocked out by Lyoto Machida in May at UFC 98 to drop the title, was in danger.

Silva, though, made a huge mistake by not pressing his advantage and going for the finish. Evans took a long time to gain his bearings and he fought the final minute or so very defensively, hoping to let the clock run out.

Evans said after the fight that he’s looking forward to a bout with another former champion, arch rival Quinton “Ranpage” Jackson. The men were supposed to meet after coaching on Season 10 of “The Ultimate Fighter,” but Jackson opted to make a movie instead.

Jackson, though, has returned to the UFC and Evans said Saturday he hopes that bout can be made.

Danny Green: Accept the offer Bernard


After the controversial win over Roy Jones, Jr., former WBA light heavyweight champion and current IBO cruiserweight champion Danny Green is doing his best to make a fight with Bernard Hopkins happen by taking a smaller purse than the future Hall of Famer. Green originally offered a 50-50 split of a multi million dollar purse with Hopkins and this offer was accepted but later the American had requested a 60-40 split in his favour after it was revealed HBO would televise the fight on prime time USA television. Green said, “When I left the States two weeks ago we had an agreement that whatever goes into the pot we were 50-50 which is what we did with Roy Jones. And after the momentum of the Roy Jones fight, I could fight SpongeBob SquarePants and still make good money. But it’s not about the money for me. It’s about continuing to try to build a legacy and knocking out two future hall-of-fame fighters. Knocking out two legends, bringing two legends to my backyard and helping the sport of boxing. I spoke to Bernard again on Christmas Eve and then I had the Sydney to Hobart, so I haven’t spoken to him for the past week. I’ve got one more phone call to make to him to try to make this happen. I’m confident that he’s going to take this deal. He’s squabbling over making millions. Let’s just make it happen and get it on!”

Go ahead Bernard and accept the offer, you still can make it right?
