Brodel, who's to know what really happened to him.......

One thing for sure, the contracts were signed so I am 1,000% sure that the Williams' people saw some sort of "doctor's notice", if you will.

My personal belief is that he DID injured inself.

Now, and remember, even thought he signed to fight a "tomato can", perhaps that fight will take place on a date that his Doctors told him it was ok to fight..........and the Williams fight was to close for him to recuperate.

Just saying.

On the same day, Saturday, on Showtime:

WBO junior welterweight champion Timothy "Desert Storm" Bradley (24-0, 11 KOs, 1 No-Contest) and 140-pound challenger (27-0, 13 KOs) Lamont Peterson.

In the co-feature, popular, devastating knockout artist Vic "Raging Bull" Darchinyan (32-2-1, 26 KOs) will drop back down in weight and try to regain his winning ways when he defends his WBC and WBA 115-pound belts against hard-hitting super flyweight Tomas Rojas (32-11-1, 22 KOs).

Well since all of the boxing is "Free" (even though I pay for HBO and Showtime so not really free) I'll probably also pay for this which Tup left off his list:




It's gonna be a long Saturday night!

YES!

The last one I ordered was 101 where Penn beat florian and the HILARIOUS a$$ whipping of Griffin by Silva.

I ordered one more after UFC 101(UFC 104 Machida vs Rua), and they also had a free one a few weeks back but otherwise their last few cards have STUNK on paper, even if some of the shows turned out OK. They chose a bad moment to be weak because boxing cards have been kicking ass lately.

This one is decent though, but not great. I'm only ordering if others pony up their share, when cards are good I pay for them on my own.

* Heavyweights (up to 265 pounds): Paul Buentello vs. Stefan Struve
* Lightweights (155 pounds): Kenny Florian vs. Clay Guida
* Welterweights (170 pounds): Jon Fitch vs. Mike Pierce
* Heavyweights (up to 265 pounds): Frank Mir vs. Cheick Kongo
* UFC Lightweight Title match: BJ Penn (champion) vs. Diego Sanchez (challenger)

It should be a fun match while it lasts but Penn should outclass Sanchez both standing and on the ground. Penn by rear naked choke R3, same as Florian.

Camarada, I left it out because it's not boxing.

I like it but not even close to how much a looooooooooooooover boxing.

Last MMA I watched was when that "hunk of a woman", Gina Carano, was beaten to a pulp by Cyborg.

It' s not boxing but t is the next best thing. With all the other fights I have like 6+ hours of entertainment Saturday night

Hey, don't get me wrong.....I do enjoy watching it........and indeed is the next best thing.

And btw, I wouldn't mind going a few rounds with Gina Carano. JAJAJAJA.

Well, since the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight has been tentatively agreed to, I wonder how you guys think this fight may play out. I base my opinion on some definite tangibles, in the Pacquiao Vs. Cotto fight (if you can call it that) the very limited and I mean very limited success that Cotto had was when he boxed. I can only imagine how much success a master boxer like Mayweather would have by applying his boxing ability against Pacquiao. Both Pacquiao Vs. Marquez fights were so close you could not put a thread through them (the first was a draw, the second a 1 point split decision victory for Pac) and yet Marquez did not win a single round against Mayweather. There will be no catch weight nonsense in this fight so Pac will not enjoy any weight regulated advantages. Pacquiao is a great volume puncher with incredible stamina but Mayweather may be the best defensive boxer in the last 20 odd years, even better defensively than Whitaker, Hopkins or Wright.

These fights will ensure a continued legacy of fight fans the world over, whomever the victor, the real winner will be boxing, it's continued survival and dare I say re-emergence from fringe sport internment.

I think Mayweather will ultimately beat Pacquiao in a fight. Mayweather is just the better boxer.
