Just finished up 24/7 week 3. Manny and Cotto both look ridiculously in shape. Cotto actually looks better now at 145 then he ever has at 147. Pacquiao is also looking crazy fast and, as always, looks to be in the best shape of his life. This could be a fight of the year contender and once again 24/7 has done it's job on me. It's alarming how many times I've doubted Manny in the past and he's come through. You could really make a case for either fighter...but I cannot bet against Manny. He will find a way to win or will make it a war. Even in desperation I can't imagine Manny getting outworked.

Yorgy had gotten off the canvas to come back in win in his last fight, so I expect they were hoping for the same thing. He's barely an opponent on ESPN type, so the announcing team ejaculating all over themselves that "El Perro is back!!!!" should calm down a bit. He also hit Yorgy twice while he was down, including one shot to the back of the head.
Dawson dominated and looked borrrrrrring. He looked like he could have fought 15 or 20 rounds and it wouldn't have changed a thing.
Haye/Valueless was god awful to watch. You can make a case for Valueless winning, but no one wanted that, so this time the shittyness of boxing turns in the fans favor.
I want Haye to fight often. He needs to get the fight with Ruiz out of the way ASAP and if it's November 2010 before that happens, it's just not going to be enough.

Well, haye and the Klits are talking about fighting each other next year, once they both have their mandos out of the way so hopefully Haye will fight at least twice next year.
The missus and I will be in the house live for the cotto/pacman fight! We won't have as nice tickets as I wanted because the missus didn't want to cough up more dough towards that fight but it'll still be cool to be there live... with this fight we'll have finally completed the circuit of seeing big live boxing events in the usual US locations... CT, MSG in NYC, Boardwalk in NJ and now Vegas.... sweet.

Awesome!
It is looking to be an amazing fight. I still haven't nailed down who I think will win. Yet again 24/7 has made me immensely excited for the fight.
Wow Paul Williams signs a contract to fight someone else since Kelly Pavlik pulled out of two dates... was on deaths' door, etc... and miracle of miracles Kelly Pavlik signs to fight Sergio Martinez in December...
Pavlik you ain't shit buddy.
Pavlik you ain't shit buddy.

He's a complete alkie, by all accounts. Looks like Haye's hand injury was genuine though. Punching Valuev's head must be like punching a boulder.

It is out of order but I think B-Hop ruined him and his confidence is shot to shit. He honestly thought he was going to knock him out and ended up getting schooled.
Cotto vs. Pacquiao
Fuck yeah. I am throwing a huge ass party :lol I would love for Cotto to win, but I can see Pacquiao winning. I actually placed bets on Cotto since they could net some good $$$$, but it's risky. Can't see him having that much of a chance.
Thing is... I purchased a shitload of alcohol... got my screen ready, PPV paid, etc, etc etc...Should be an awesome night

Will be fun. Actually staying away from betting on this. Was tempting though.

So far the Vegas odds have Pac as a 2.5-1 favorite.

You are probably right but I still think it will be an exciting fight. Personally I don't care who wins since I like both of the fighters.
On a side note, why doesn't boxing ever get official threads for big fights? MMA gets one almost every week

MMA has arguably more 'big' fights ie even fights. We all know that one of boxings major ills is the reluctance of promoters to put their man in an even fight, which is why the super six is such a breath of fresh air.
I'm so tire that I don't think I'm going to be able to stay awake until 5 in the morning UK time to watch the fight tonight. I'm sticking my money on Cotto rounds 7-9. It was originally 11/1 but now it's drifted out to 14/1, woohoo!

So why not sleep in early so you can wake up early instead of staying up?J Tourettes said:
I keep picking people to beat pac and he keeps on winning. I always think he's too small, and then he ends up hurting and stopping bigger guys.
My initial impulse in this fight is to pick Cotto, but I think i'm finally convinced that pac can handle anybody, and I'm not sure Cotto still has all his mojo.. So my prediction would be: Pac by TKO within 10

24/7 has a way of making every fight seem so epic. It had me believing Hatton could beat PBF for a minute. Really well done show.

Modern Warfare 2. This is the best chance I've got to play for a while as my other half is out tonight. I'll catch the replay early in the morning tomorrow, avoiding all news and the internet.

has calmed down a bit.
I want Cotto to win so bad, but Pac Man has looked invincible lately. Then again, if Cotto can be the pre-Margarito fighter with the swagger and the killer hook, he'll have a chance. He'll need to be super focused, though, since a little slip up and Pac's crazy speed/power combo will floor him.
I think Cotto has to stun Pac early. Shake him up and make him hesitant. If he's as loose as he was against Hatton, it'll be an uphill battle.

Cottley's speed was giving Cotto problems. I think Pacquiao will eek by a decision.
