December 3 2011 Miguel Cotto vs Margarito 2 is scheduled at New York's Madison Square Garden. I say schedule because after recent rumors hit the Internet about Margarito not being licensed in NY yet, many think the fight will be off. Now a business man like Bob Arum in my opinion wouldn't even sign the fight if he knew there would be a problem with a license. Margarito is scheduled to go in front of NYSAC November 18 for a hearing on his license. Only time will tell but when you thought you already had an idea of how much this fight means to both fighters, HBO does a Faceoff. Faceoff a show where Max Kelleman is a mediator during an interview with both fighters face to face sitting at a table. This edition of faceoff arguably is the best one thus far, second to maybe Haye vs Klitschko. Well soon as I saw it I had to share with my BOXINGHEADS. Ive posted the video link below. ENJOY!

Pacquiao vs Marquez 3
We are two days away from a trilogy in boxing but yet it hardly feels like it. Just two days away from Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez 3 taking place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The first fight ending in a controversial draw. The second ending in a close split decision which Pacquiao came out victorious, although many debate that Marquez won. Now part three "The Trilogy".
When you here trilogy you think of Barerra vs Morales, Ali vs Frazier and my favorite Ward vs Gatti. The type of fights that even if you think you know who will win, you still have to watch because you know both fighters are willing to die in the ring that night just for bragging rights. So if this is the case why is there a lack of buzz for this fight. I mean this fight has been promoted on stations where in the past usually doesn't advertise boxing. Is it because there is no bad guy this time around on HBO's hit series 24/7. Perhaps its the fact that we should be watching Pacquiao vs Mayweather 1. Lets be honest lately it hasn't been the suspense up to the fight. Its been the controversy after the fight, I'm referring to Mayweather vs Ortiz and then Hopkins vs Dawson. With two of the classiest warriors in the sport its safe to say we are in for a hell of a fight. After that appetizer we got last week with Angulo vs Kirkland. One can only hope the main course Pacquiao vs Marquez will be like a juicy fillet Mignon. The best dinner you ever had, or in this case the best Trilogy you've ever watched.
