Big Fight weekend
 

A big weekend of boxing coming up, Amir Khan making his comeback, Carl Froch getting his long overdue World title shot and De la Hoya v Pacquaio in the states.
I won't be bothering with the PPV card as all the withdrawls have ruined that so will watch Froch v Pascal on ITV which looks a 50/50 match up.

i think de la hoya v pacman is all wrong as a year ago de la hoya was fighting at middle-weight & pacman at super-feather so whoever loses already has their excuse... i'll watch froch and save my PPV money for LOS

De la Hoya v Pacquaio is on live on True channel 109 for anyone that's in LOS. It's PPV but free to Gold and Platinum subscribers.

around 2200 winny:boxers:

i've caved in & spent £14.99 on the sky PPV so these 2 better put a decent fight on...

what a display by pacquio TKO in 8, as with the hopkins fight greed got the better of de la hoya




In a cross divisional "Dream Match" fought at welterweight poundage, WBC lightweight champion and pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao (48-3-2, 36 KOs) created a nightmare for legendary six-division former champion Oscar De La Hoya (39-6, 30 KOs). The Pacman scored an impressive, and surprisingly one-sided eighth round TKO on Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The quicker Pacquiao got off to a strong start, connecting with clean straight left leads and continually beat the Golden Boy to the punch. Oscar got untracked a bit in round five landing one good flurry, but Pacquiao regained command in the sixth and mercilessly battered Oscar on the ropes in the seventh. Oscar's left eye was swelling shut. It was again all Pacquiao in round eight and Oscar's corner stopped the fight after the eighth. At the time of the stoppage, Pacquiao had swept all eight rounds on two cards and won seven of eight on the third card. In all a dominant performance.

Lost on points
