Haha what a pimp.
lol.. Not yet at least. The mma link works, but cut off and I can't get it to work again. The sopcast link supposedly starts late, but I don't know how late, and sometimes they don't even get around to it. Hopefully I can find a link that is live and working right now or hopefully sopcast hurries up with the broadcast..

Steve Forbes won on the undercard fight btw..

Pac Man wins a very boring and one-sided decision. Barrera wouldn't engage him and Pac looked pretty bad, even tho he was active. I'm so glad I didn't pay for this..

what about the homie steven luevano from la puente,what u guys think about him?prolly the first time most of u have seen him fight but iv'e been watching this youngsta for a few years on telefutura and i think he's as solid as they come.not too exciting of a fighter but he's a good technical one.

I scored the fight 118 - 109 for Pacman, or 10 rounds to 2 (minus 1 point for the late hit in the 11th).

Not really sure what to make of the fight. Barrera's strategy was to fight a technical fight and not really trade punches with Pacman which I think is the reason Pacman didn't get the KO. Barrera did a good job of tying up Pacman after Pac landed furies of punches. But in the end Pacman simply landed more punches and was the aggressor.

Kind of a turning point in the fight was in the 11th round Pacman started to unleash on Barrera and Barrera's legs buckled, he looked like he was about to go down. Then Barrera grabbed Pacman, the ref came to break it up and Barrera landed a HARD shot clean on Pacman's chin which resulted in the point deduction. Pacman looked hurt as fuck after that and needed a couple moments to recover. I think if Barrera didn't land that punch, Pacman was going to KO him, or at least knock him down that round or next.

Overall fight wasn't that entertaining, besides a few rounds of brief explosions.

Barrera should retire. Pacman should fight Joan Guzman next.

Joan Guzman Challenges Pacquiao at Presser


By Patrick Conner


At the post-fight press conference to the Manny Pacquiao-Marco Antonio Barrera rematch at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, WBO super feathweight champion Joan Guzman (27-0, 17KOs) was in attendance and issued a challenge to Pacquiao.

"When are you going to fight me," Guzman kept shouting at Pacquiao.

Guzman told reporters that will he take on all-comers and made it clear that he feels Pacquiao is avoiding a fight with him.

In order to put himself in line for a Pacquiao fight, Guzman must first get past the always dangerous Humberto Soto on November 17. The fight will be featured as the main event of an HBO televised card from the Borgata in Atlantic City. Should he get past Soto, Guzman may very well get his wish by fighting Pacquiao - if Juan Manuel Marquez doesn't seal the deal first.

You could tell Pacman wasn't as sharp as he usually is, and that Barrera was basically fighting to not get knocked out.

All good when you reach in the hat and get "D-Pacquiao" in the fight pool, though.
