World Boxing Council of Mexico City, Mexico.
In episode 2 of 24/7, as I watched Miguel Cotto running alone around the track at 5:00 AM, I thought to myself I really do admire and respect boxers. Then I remembered the Mayweather family will probably be involved in a 24/7 soon enough and it ruined the illusion for me.
I thought episode 2 was a rung below last week's first episode but I enjoyed it
anyway.
I believe Alex Ariza's personality came out much more this week than last week.
Unfortunately Michael Koncz lived up to my expectations.
Already in Las Vegas, Miguel Cotto makes a day -trip to Los Angeles for an open media workout Tuesday.
"In a business brimming with horse manure, (Freddie) Roach smells of roses," said Kevin Mitchell of the guardian.co.uk That's a lot closer to Freddie than I want to be.
On the undercard of Pacquiao - Cotto is Fort Worth's Corey Washington, 2-1 (154 lbs.) against unbeaten, 2-0, Steve Martinez in a four - round swing bout. Only if there are quick knockouts on the televised portion will the 6'2 Washington get on the tube. Martinez managed by late Arturo Gatti manager Pat Lynch.
It's fight week in Nuremberg, Germany for the WBA Heavyweight Championship. Undefeated and former IBF Middleweight Champ Arthur Abraham is picking champion Nikolai Valuev and former heavyweight champ Lennox Lewis is taking challenger David Haye.
The only loss in the 51 fight career of the 7'0 Valuev was to 6'1 Ruslan Chagaev. Haye is 6'3.
Ferocious Fernando Vargas, looking well over 154 lbs.(as am I) Friday night in El Paso, has challenged Hector Camacho, Jr. to either a fight or a pie-eating contest after Machitos' split duke over Yori Boy Campas in El Paso.
Don King scored a sellout at Treasure Island Hotel & Casino Saturday night as seen on Showtime. The main event seemed closer than the scoring indicated.
Columbian Yohnny Perez defeated Ghana's champion Joe "King Kong Agabeko
over 12. It was DK's first Las Vegas fight in several years.
Congratulations to President Jose Sulaiman and all attendees of the World Boxing Council's 47th Annual World Convention in South Korea which commenced earlier Monday.
