I just read an article about Manny Pacquiao written by a guy who quite often goes negative in most of what he writes.  This so called writer (who's name is not worthy of mention) has very little nice things to say about anyone in this sport.  Usually he attacks those who are overweight, which solidifies the degree of hypocricy he carries within his own 300 pound frame.  This guy...

Legendary boxing champ James "Lights Out" Toney stepped up to the plate (and way out of his element), and took on the UFC's legendary Randy Couture tonight at UFC 118 in Boston, Mass.  Couture did pretty much exactly what the entire fight word expected he woud do, he took Toney to the floor and submitted him in the 1st round.  Unlike a lot of other boxing sites, there will be no bashing...

Meia Back in Win Column Demian Meia (13-2, 2 KO’s, 8 submissions) bounced back from an unsuccessful challenge to UFC middleweight champ Anderson Silva to win a unanimous decision over fellow Brazilian Mario Miranda (12-2, 6 KO’s, 4 submissions), who coincidentally had Silva in his corner. It was mostly a tactical jiu-jitsu battle, which Meia controlled for the most part. Maynard...
