BOXING IS BACK!

   For those of you who read our blog our last post was Cotto vs Mayorga. In that post we went over the Top Rank show titled relentless.  The fight turned out to be real entertaining and more competitive than most thought.  Even though I'm not a huge fan of Mayorga's trash talking I will say he earned his money on saturday.  Mayorga stood toe to toe with Cotto and tried to get him off his game plan by taunting and talking to Cotto as the fight went on.  He even backed himself in to a corner and challenge Cotto to come in to take free shots on Mayorga.  He came in shape for once and actually looked like a professional boxer.  Though he came up short when Cotto stopped him by tko in the 12th. Undercard wasn't to bad with a great performance by Pawel Wolak from New Jersey, who defeated former champion Yuri Foreman.
   On another card on an Hbo's series called boxing after dark fireworks erupted when recently proclaimed king of boxing Sergio Martinez took on Sergei Dzinziruk.  Once again Martinez proved why he belongs at the top of the division as one of the p4p fighters in the world.  With a exciting shutout of Dzinziruk Martinez dropped him 5 times total while finally finishing the fight by tko in the 8th stopping Dzinziruk.  My favorite fight of the night came on the same card when Andy Lee took on Craig McEwan. Now this is what boxing is all about. Lee the favorite was short in his corner because his head trainer Emanuel Steward was in vegas in Cotto's corner.  It seemed to bother him though he later denied it.  Lee was pretty much in a one side fight with McEwan controlling the early rounds.  But then the magic happened what makes a warrior that animal instinct came out and Lee realized he was never going to win unless he dug deep and came out swinging.  He came back by knocking out McEwan in the 10th. Now this is a must see fight if you haven't already. Due to copyright infringement i cannot post the fight nor would I because I don't roll like that.(lol) But I recommend that you check your on demand and watch this fight immediately. Just so you get an idea i will post a youtube of the end of the fight round 10.  Tell a friend to tell a friend this a fight that will make you a fan and once again confirm why boxing is the greatest.

    Great post Prez, agree with all of what you said. Last weekend was a great weekend for the sport, one of the best ones in a while actually. That Lee/McEwan fight was fantastic. That knockout in the final round was sweet as! As for Sergio Martinez, gotta agree with Lou DiBella when he says 'Martinez is a f*cking beast!'. Let's hope he can get a superfight but, at the moment, he is just too big for Pac/Floyd and there's not many people out there for him.

    Keep up the good work!
