2008 NT Boxing Post Vol. Oscar De La Hoya vs. Manny Pacquiao 12/6/08 HBO PPV

I might catch slack for this but, i'm still convinced that Juan Diaz is the man at 135.

I give Nate his props, but up until that cut opened up...Juan was running with that fight. I got the Baby Bull in a rematch should that happen.

And he can def beat Casamayor and Katsdisis...

EDIT: Pac-Man?

This was a great fight damn shame Katsidis lost i had him up winning by 3 points he could've won.

Great performance by Casamayor but i still dislike him but give him major props for winning by KO.

Great fight overall Katsidis was a warrior tonight just got caught by some hard punches by a southpaw.
 
Dudes goin hard to interpret.

Wait hold up, i know thats not gomez from the contender against cotto ? Please god tell me no that isnt that guy.
 
Countdown to De La Hoya/Forbes? Why?

And I think they should've done another edition of 24/7 but with Hopkins/Calzaghe.
 
GREAT fight between Casa and Katsidis

just got caught being over agressive

and it is Alfonso Gomez from The Contender facing Miguel Cotto, I heard the funeral procession for his ribs is happening 5 minutes after the 10th round
 
String jinxed his man wit the avy

I didn't advise him to sky dive right into Casamayor's left

The lightweight division is giving the welterweight division a run for its money

[h1]Golden Boy Promotions makes deal with Versus for Hatton-Lazcano bout[/h1]

Junior welterweight champion Ricky Hatton, who has fought exclusively on HBO since signing a contract with the premium cable network in early 2006, has a new American TV home. Well, for at least one fight anyway.

Golden Boy Promotions, which signed free agent Hatton to a promotional agreement two weeks ago, has made a deal with Versus to televise Hatton's next fight May 24 from his hometown of Manchester, England, Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer told ESPN.com on Saturday.

The fight, a previously announced match with El Paso, Texas, native Juan Lazcano (37-4-1, 27 KOs), will be televised live in the afternoon, Schaefer said. Versus will also air the other title bout on the card, Paulie Malignaggi's second defense of his version of the 140-pound crown in a rematch against Lovemore N'Dou (46-9-1, 31 KOs), the man from whom Malignaggi (24-1, 5 KOs) won his belt last summer.

If Hatton (43-1, 31 KOs) and Malignaggi each win, they are slated to meet in the fall. That bout, Schaefer said, would mark Hatton's return to HBO, which has televised his last four fights, including his 10th-round knockout loss to welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather in December in one of the biggest fights of 2007. Hatton's deal with HBO ended after the Mayweather fight.

HBO passed on Hatton-Lazcano. Besides a packed schedule and budget concerns, it didn't care for the matchup and was not too interested in doing a fight on the typically low viewership Memorial Day weekend.

Showtime passed on the card also. It opted to buy another fight for May 24, the super middleweight showdown between former titlist Mikkel Kessler and big puncher Edison Miranda.

Versus is a relatively new entrant into televised boxing. The former OLN network has had an exclusive deal to televise Top Rank-promoted fights for the past couple of years, but that deal is close to expiring.

Schaefer said he hopes the agreement for the Hatton fight leads to future dates on the network.

"We hope, of course, it will lead to something else, but there are no assurances or guarantees," he said. "But it was important for us to showcase Ricky's fight in the United States and important for fans to be able to see it live. We are really glad that Versus stepped up to the plate. There were other networks interested, including ESPN, including Showtime, but we felt we wanted to do it with Versus. We talked to NBC and ABC, but those would have been time buys. Everything fell into place with Versus. They really wanted the fight and were excited and enthusiastic to have someone like Ricky Hatton on their network. They wanted it the most."

Versus will pay "in the low six-figures" for the rights to the card, said Schaefer, who is headed to London for a press conference on Thursday to talk about the fight with the British press.

The fight should provide viewers with quite a scene. It will take place outside at the City of Manchester Stadium, where Hatton's passionate fans gobbled up 55,000 tickets almost instantly.

Lazcano, who turns 33 on Sunday, hasn't fought since losing a competitive decision to former beltholder Vivian Harris in a title eliminator 13 months ago.

I might catch slack for this but, i'm still convinced that Juan Diaz is the man at 135.
not on this forum, everyone loves Juan except me. I dont believe in him and his high output low impact punches.

I honestly think there are at least 5 lightweights that walk him out the ring not even including PacMan and JMM
I have never been sold on homie
just my opinion.

I agree I always thought he beat Popo when he was clearly on a decline and Julio was never all that good IMO. I'd like to see him fight againthough.

Great night of fights. If Andrade had any kind of defense he'd challenge Kessler, but right now no one at 168 is beating Kessler. Casamayor dug deep Ididn't think he had this kind of fight in him anymore I had a feeling from the moment MK stepped in the ring and Joel got in his face it was going to be agreat fight. Didn't even see the 1st knockdown lol. Katsidis just lunged all night but he'll get another title shot.

BTW anyone else notice Kellerman's blatant bias towards Katsidis even while he was interviewing Joel? When he asked Joel "You mean to tell me hedidn't hurt you all night?" was ridiculous. He talked to Joel like he lost and to Katsidis like he won. I have no idea why HBO would even think toreplace Merchant with him.

You wanna know something , Well Nate Campbell showed up to the Post Fight press conference last night . and Casamayor made the comment that he would fightanyone so a writer said what about him and pointed to Campbell , Joel started to mumble something then said "Ill fight him right now , Nate stood up andsaid well im here lets do it . Joel starts slowly walking down there expecting someone to hold him back but no one does so he stops himself and turns aroundand goes back to the podium . and Few minutes later security escorted Nate and his Manager out . Nate was at the fight he was sitting behind Bernard in theBlack Hat . So who knows when we'll see at rematch of Casamayor - Campbell
 
laugh.gif
yea I heard kellerman say nate was there in the ring.

Thru out the fight I kept seeing sugar shane in the crowd but I never spotted bernard
 
Hopkins, Naseem Richardson, and John David Jackson were all there in one of the first rows facing the camera. I was wondering why them and Molsey were there(also sitting beside them), turns out Casamayor is a Goldenboy fighter which I didn't realize and they were also all rooting for him of course.
 
I watched it again and I seen em all sittin rite next to Shane.
laugh.gif
iand bhop had on the grey adidasa track suit

laugh.gif

Gonna be a long 2 weeks waiting
