StillUnknown Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 http://ringtv.craveonline.com/blog/171415-pacquiao-bradley-done-for-june-9 RingTV.com has learned that WBO welterweight beltholder Manny Pacquiao and WBO junior welterweight titleholder Tim Bradley have agreed to terms for a clash that will take place on June 9 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.Last week, RingTV.com reported that Top Rank CEO Bob Arum was to meet with Pacquiao's adviser, Michael Koncz, and Bradley's manager, Cameron Dunkin, in an effort to finalize terms for the bout. Arum, Koncz and Dunkin convened during meetings in San Antoio, Tex., where Arum was promoting Julio Cesar Chavez Jr's HBO-televised unanimous decision in defense of his WBC belt opposite Marco Antonio Rubio, and Nonito Donaire's made his 122-pound debut with a split-decision win over Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. for the WBO's vacant junior featherweight belt at the Alamodome. The Pacquiao-Bradley agreement was not made, however, until Monday, and it comes in the wake of WBA junior middleweight beltholder Miguel Cotto having been chosen last Wednesday by Floyd Mayweather Jr. as his May 5 opponent.

ACW Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 I'd like to see Lamont have another shot at Bradley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DM72 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) Seriously? It will be interesting to see just how many of JMM countrymen fill that place. On a sidenote: I wonder if Mayweather and his followers consider Cotto a "Pacquiao leftover." I just couldn't resist.

ClemsSC7Skinfan Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Again selecting Cotto as May's next opponent is after carefully watching enough film to select a slower opponent who has a name well enough that will draw a crowd and leave millions disappointed. I highly doubt Mayweather stands and fights or even remotely resembles his 4 round exhibition against Ortiz, he will get on his bike like he did against De La Hoya and easily out box Cotto to a snooze fest of a win. The best of boxing is when we get the unheralded fighters on regular HBO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best of boxing is when we get the unheralded fighters on regular HBO. agree 100% although I do think Cotto should go hire some of the guys who trained Oscar for that Mayweather fight. Oscar fought a hell of a fight and would have beat Mayweather if he was still in his prime. If Cotto can go in with the same game plan Oscar had (cutting off the ring) and forcing Mayweather to fight, he could shock the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also love this quote from Peterson: “I just want to fight him again because it was a good fight,” Peterson said. “It’s a fight that the fans wanted, so that’s just what I’m trying to focus on right now, just giving the fans what they want, and once I beat him again, I just don’t want to hear his mouth again.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StillUnknown Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Looks like Golden Boy is going to completely mail it in on the undercard of Mayweather/Cotto. De La Hoya announced last night he's going to dust off the decaying carcass of Shane Mosely to feed him to Canelo Alvarez. If that wasn't bad enough, Winky Wright is probably going to face their middleweight prospect Peter Quillin. The same Winky Wright who hasn't fought since being shutout by Paul Williams in 2009 and is closer to drawing social security than being an effective fighter.

ACW Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&opt=printable&id=49468#ixzz1m6rv7GMM BoxingScene.com first reported late Friday night that a full blown riot erupted in the wake of an IBF junior flyweight title bout between Filipino Johnreil Casimero (16-2, 10KOs) and hometown hero Luis "Mosquito" Lazarte (49-11-2, 18KOs). Casimero stopped Lazarte in the tenth round to capture the vacant IBF junior flyweight championship at Mar del Plata in Buenos Aires, Argentina.As previously reported, the victory was never announced because a huge crowd of Argentine fans rushed the ring and attacked Casimero and his team, the IBF's officials, journalists and everyone else who tried to prevent the violence from getting worse. Chairs, bottles and punches were flying all over the arena, with very little intervention from the few police officers on the scene. BoxingScene has since learned that well-known manager and international agent Sean Gibbons was beaten badly, getting cracked to the jaw, kicked in the head several times and possibly suffering broken ribs. Casimero was cracked over the head with a chair. He suffering minor injuries, as did his trainers. The crowd tried to pull Casimero out of the ring, but they were thwarted by a guard who pulled him under the ring to hide him from the crowd - and even referee Eddie Claudio was sent to the hospital to receive stitches to his mouth after catching a chair shot from the rioting crowd. Numerous other injuries were reported. 7wB6GwA3iNU Holy crap, that had to be terrifying as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you heard him talk lately? He should not be fighting anymore. His speed is gone, and he either can't or won't pull the trigger anymore. He'll probably go the distance because Canelo isn't a special fighter, but he's going to take a beating in the process.
