    Isridro Garcia was sitting in the stands when the promoter approached him about fighting Jose Lopez. Lopez's opponent Montiel had pulled out of the fight, so Garcia agreed to the fight...and won the vacant WBO Flyweight Title.

    Alejandro Montiel was originally scheduled to fight Lopez for the vacant crown, but withdrew a few hours before the fight. Garcia happened to be in attendance as a spectator and was asked to step in while sitting at ringside eating a doughnut. Garcia fought and won the title using borrowed trunks, protective cup and mouthpiece.

    Pacquiao vs Morales I was extremely short notice. I think Morales had gotten his awrse kicked by Barrera like 3 months before he fought Pacquiao, and he stilled kicked Pacquiao's awrse.

    I troll trolls, that's about it.

    I don't spend nearly enough time here to actually be considered a troll. In fact, The vast majority of my posts are not related to trolling.

    If my last troll post got under your skin Kirk, I apologize, you're one of the few in here that I respect simply because I've known you for atleast 10 years and in that time you have been a stand up poster.

    How about you **** off and stop contributing to a crippling issue for a place you've been for so long.

    Re Pacquiao his win over Sasakul came from left field. Not sure if he was a late replacement but beating a Thai in Thailand is... Pretty dammed impressive...
