yung last rd....napuruhan si cotto.
buti di bumagsak. yakap-yakap na lang siya.
tinapos na lang.....

[chua_riwap]

si mosley, luhaan ulit.
dapat mag-retire na.....
40yo na pala ito.

It's not about the UD, PBF really came to fight...

Pinoys should start giving Credit when it's due...he schooled cotto tonight, galling talaga defense..

And remember there was no catch weight BS...with all his antics and big mouth outside the ring, he really has crazy skills inside the boxing ring.

UD was expected but we can't take away the whole fight, it was a quality fight and no running and chasing around...hinde talaga matamaan eh...after a long time PBF didn't dance and run around to get the win...iba talaga style.

Cotto was no pushover, pero he can't tag and catch up with PBF talaga...Ang Daming time na corner Si PBF pero hinde talaga matamaan eh

[acedal]

ala eh, oo nga eh ...

Pakyow vs. Gayweather, bring it on!

pero syempre, kelangan madispatsa muna si Baldley

[Retz]

Mayweather is in a different class against Cotto. Superb defense and sniper like offense. A decision win for Mayweather is almost inevitable. Now, the big question is will the mega fight between Pacquiao-Mayweather pushes thru?

mag boxing na lang kasi eh wag ng sumawsaw sa issue

Manny Pacquiao Banned From Hollywood Mall, Says He Has Gay Relative | ThePostGame

Manny Pacquiao Banned From Hollywood Mall, Says He Has Gay Relative

Manny Pacquiao won't be shopping with the stars ever again, as the homophobic boxing superstar has been banned from Hollywood's ultimate entertainment destination.

Training in Los Angeles for his upcoming fight against Timothy Bradley, Pacquiao was scheduled to sit down for an interview Wednesday with "Extra" host Mario Lopez at the Grove, LA's legendary shopping mall where celebrities and tourists mingle in overpriced shops, restaurants and movie theaters. But that interview won't take place now, at least not at the outdoor mall.

LA Weekly's Simone Wilson reports Pacquiao has been outlawed by the commercial center for his over the top anti-gay statements this week. While quoting bible verses, the boxing star didn't just say he was against the homo***ual lifestyle, Pacquiao stunningly divulged gay men should be "put to death" for their ***ual crimes.

Management at the Grove quickly issued a statement explaining why the bigoted boxer has been officially forbid from entering the star-studded shopping mecca.

"Based on news reports of statements made by Mr. Pacquiao we have made it be known that he is not welcome at The Grove and will not be interviewed here now or in the future. The Grove is a gathering place for all Angelenos and not a place for intolerance."

The prejudiced pugilist attempted to defend his position with media in the Philippines.

“I only gave out my opinion that same *** marriage is against the law of God,” he told ABS-CBN’s Dyan Castillejo. “I’m not against gay people…I have a relative who is also gay. We can’t help it if they were born that way. What I’m critical of are actions that violate the word of God.”

Pacquiao, long a darling of Madison Avenue, figures to lose a number of endorsements and fans over his intolerant, bullheaded position.

For those of you who have not been following the discussion about doping and PEDs in boxing, there are currently two organizations who are being contracted in big fights. USADA and VADA (Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency).

USADA usually screens the sample first then do carbon isotope ratio (IRMS) testing if testosterone/epitestosterone ration is above 4:1. IRMS or CIR allows detection of exogenous sources of testosterone.

VADA uses CIR/IRMS test immediately and is deemed superior to USADA being used by mayweather. (OF course USADA issued a carefully worded statement debunking this)

Lamont Peterson who is about to rematch Khan tested positive under VADA.
Andre Berto also tested positive although test showed very small amounts not consistent with intentional doping. Nonetheless, Berto was scrapped from the card and Ortiz will gace another fighter.

Now the latest rumor is that Mayweather tested positive 3 times already but the results were kept secret.
Now Golden Boy Promotions through their attorney sent a letter to Gabe Montoya of Maxboxing who has been writing about doping in boxing. Here's the link to the letter Max Boxing - Main Lead - The Correspondence. And it looks like other journalist have received similar letter which basically accused them of defaming GBP and Mayweather.

The funny thing is Montoya has never written about Mayweather testing positive so in effect the GBP letter broke out the news.
But the theory is that Montoya is asking around a lot and maybe is getting closer to some secret information, hence the demand letter.

Margarito Retires

Former boxing champ Antonio Margarito retires (VIDEO) | TeamPilipinas.info

Margarito Retires

LOS ANGELES - Mexico's Antonio Margarito, the former world welterweight champion who was suspended for 16 months after plaster was found in his gloves, retired on Thursday (Friday, PHL time) after an 18-year pro boxing career.

Margarito, 34, becomes the third notable fighter in four days to hang up his gloves, following Shane Mosley and Winky Wright out of the ring and into retirement with a posting on his website and Facebook page.

"After much thought and extended conversations with my family and team, we have all agreed that the time to hang up my gloves and begin a new chapter in life has arrived," Margarito said.

"I always told my family and team that I would walk away from boxing when I felt I could no longer compete at the level I believed I needed to be in order to be successful.

"Although the passion and drive are still there, I have to accept that my time to walk away has arrived."

Margarito won the World Boxing Organization welterweight crown in 2002, and won eight fights in a row in the division until losing the crown to American Paul Williams in 2007.

Margarito won the International Boxing Federation welterweight title in 2008 and took the World Boxing Association welterweight crown in 2009 by stopping Puerto Rico's previously undefeated Miguel Cotto in the 11th round.

But before Margarito's next fight, plaster was found in his hand wraps before he faced Mosley and after a re-wrapping, Margarito was stopped in the ninth round.

Then came a 16-month ban and, after a comeback victory over compatriot Roberto Garcia, two final defeats, a unanimous 12-round decision loss at the hands of Filipino star Manny Pacquiao in 2010 and a stoppage last December after 10 rounds against Cotto due to swelling around the Mexican's right eye.

"I leave the cuts, bruises, and sweat, but I'm not leaving the sport," said Margarito. "I will continue in the sport that gave me so much, Now, however, it is time for me to give back to the sport." - AFP

Lopez breaks Ortiz's jaw in upset win (VIDEO) | TeamPilipinas.info

Lopez breaks Ortiz's jaw in upset win

The boxing world was stunned anew when little-known boxer Josesito Lopez defeated former world champion "Vicious" Victor Ortiz in their welterweight bout at the Staples Center in Los Angeles Saturday (Sunday in Manila).

Ortiz quit on his stool before the 10th round because of what he said was a broken jaw. He was leading on the judges' scorecards at the time of the stoppage.

"Josesito broke my jaw," Ortiz said in RingTV. "I had my mouth open and he broke my jaw...The corner wanted me to continue but I just couldn't."

Ortiz said the injury happened during the fifth round of the fight.

It was a stunning victory for Lopez, who took the bout just last month after Ortiz's original opponent, Andre Berto, tested positive for an illegal substance.

Lopez was a massive underdog coming into the fight, as he was moving up in weight and was facing a former world champion.

But he insisted that he was never intimidated by his bigger, more popular opponent.

"I have a big heart. He tried to intimidate me, but it didn't work," Lopez told ESPN after the fight. "Victor has no heart." It was an entertaining fight as the two boxers went toe-to-toe for most of the bout. Ortiz, the bigger man, was able to catch Lopez with several strong shots, only to see the underdog come back with punches of his own.

"He hits hard, but I was never going to quit. I knew it was a close fight on the scorecards, and I knew I could press him more and more if I continued," Lopez said. "He's like a tree. I had to chop him down."

In the fifth round, Ortiz was given a warning when he pushed Lopez down and punched him at the back of his head.

Lopez earned the vacant World Boxing Council silver welterweight belt. His record improved to 30 wins and four losses, with 18 wins coming by knockout.

The result was disappointing for Ortiz, who was expected to come out strong after losing last September 2011 to unbeaten boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr.

The loss also scuttled Ortiz's next fight: a much-hyped bout against Mexican prodigy Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, in what would have been a showcase of Golden Boy Promotions' most promising young fighters.

The Ortiz-Alvarez bout was supposed to be held on September 15. Golden Boy president Richard Schaefer told ESPN they will announce a new opponent for Alvarez soon.

RingTV reported that Ortiz was taken to the California Hospital after the fight.
