Not sure about that decision but a darn good bout.

I thought Hopkins won that fight by split decision. I had it 7 rounds to 5 Bernard Hopkins. Those knockdowns cost Bernard the decision. At least it was a draw and not a decision victory for Pascal.

Hopkins whooped his ass, can't believe this...

i scored it B-Hop, but i wouldn't label it a robbery by any stretch

I just knew Mosley would be his next match up. I've been calling it since he beat Margarito.

I, for one, am excited about this match up.

i'm not, its a lamb being led to the slaughter

these were Bob Arum's words immediately after Mosley's draw against Mora:

“I read them saying Mosley was huffing and puffing for air in the fourth or fifth round,” Arum told Marley. “To me, that is the real tipoff for an aging fighter. Even Big George Foreman did that in his 40s, but he always had that big, big punch, like in the (Michael) Moorer fight. What I’ve read is not very supportive to make any Mosley-Pacquiao bout. Look, he’s going to be 40 and he’s in the lighter weights, where speed is so important. He’s on a show with guys … old enough to be his son.

“I guess Shane needs the money due to his (divorce). I’ve always considered Shane to be a nice guy but this is what happens to fighters when they age. It’s like (Bernard) Hopkins: He still knows how to fight, but who wants to pay to see him now? His fights are not very scintillating. What you see with Hopkins, we’re beginning to see with Mosley.”

if Mosley makes it to the 6th round i'll be shocked

Its exactly what I thought when I heard about the match up. Putting Mosley in front of Pacman to be sacrificed in front of the entire boxing world.

I mean its either watching Berto get dropped, or Mosley. Either or, Manny is putting someone to sleep come May 7.

Don't want to see Shane fight anymore. His best days are behind him. Should have went out on top with the Margarito fight. Floyd took him to school and Shane really started showing his age in that fight. The Mora fight was just ugly. Shane doesn't have it anymore. I agree he's only fighting for the money (divorce got him financially strapped). Shane's only chance is to catch Manny with a big shot. He still has the power, but does he have the speed to pull the trigger, while getting pummelled by Manny. Would rather see Manny against Marquez or Berto. Marquez wants revenge for their 1st two fights. But Berto is just as fast, with enough power in both fists to make the fight very interesting. Neither guy is a big draw and it's usually all about the money. Arum doesn't want to see Manny lose, that's why he's taking the safe fight with Shane. Who knows, maybe Shane goes out on his shield and gives Manny all he can handle and then some, until he gets KTFO.

Will Floyd and Pac ever fight? Serious question.....im starting to think the answer is no wtf

i doubt it, seems like everyday now Floyd picks up a new assault case

if they do fight, it'll be when they're both 39 and nobody cares

[ibarramedia]

Floyd can't fight if he is locked up in prison for a variety of charges. The man is just afraid of Manny that he is not relevant anymore.

the first important fight of 2011 is tonight on HBO: Timothy Bradley vs. Devon Alexander

i'm rooting for Alexander, but the mind tells me that Bradley wins due to his more consistent production offensively and Alexander's defensive lapses. neither fighter has much power so i expect it to go the distance.

on a sidenote, how does a fight between a man from Cali & the other from St. Louis end up in the economic hell hole that is Michigan? that place will be empty as hell, unless they start handing out freebies

[ibarramedia]

I'll be watching that fight.
