    First of all of course Congratulations to Pacquiao. I have not given him any credit since he fought JMM as i thought JMM won and his next 3 fights i thought there wasnt much risk. However in this fight he beat a prime elite fighter(my favorite fighter). Now i can honestly say i have nothing against Pac after facing Cotto. He beat him fair and square and i dont think the weight affected Cotto as he seemed fine making it.

    The other news which I dont know if its any surprise to anyone else. I found out about some fights being fixed. Not for saturday but from a famous up and comer.
    Its Chavez younger son Omar Chavez. As some of you might know one of my cousins in Mexico is a pretty good boxer. His trainer has a few good fighters in his stable and one of them was offered a fight with Chavez. The only thing is that they told him that he has to lose if he signs the contract.
    I didnt believe it at first but one of my cousins is very good friends with my counsins trainer and he told him that.

    I never really like the Chavez kids because i thought they did not live up to their dads name and didnt really attempt it by having easy fights. Now on top of that I hear that they are fixed... Not good for the sport.

    Thats the **** that i hate most. CheatingI hope this comes out soon...

    Quite probably. Either entirely fixed or cooked rankings. As in, to place him higher by beating no-hopers.

    I didnt think they would need help fixing fights against C level fighters if even that.
    Thats what was shocking. I cant believe that would happen.

    Jrs garbage. He tries to fight like his father but he isn't built for that style. He's slow, doesn't throw combos, power is mediocre. He's a ko waiting to happen

    Ya. Chavez Jr. really doesn't have any of the spark that his father had at all. He just leans in trying to land left hooks. The undercard really was nothing to write home about.

    I really thought that Chavaz's jr opponent on Saturday night was trying not to win. He seemed like the better fighter to me but it seems as though he did not want to look too impressive in that fight. I am sp

    Yea the only fight i was looking forward to on the undercard was gomez-soto-karass and i missed it. It sounds like it was pretty decent though.
