Pacquiao would be stupid not to fight Margarito
Pacquiao would be stupid not to fight Margarito

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...

As Expected, Couture Submits MMA Neophyte Toney

UFC Hall of famer Randy Couture won perhaps his easiest fight in years by submitting the MMA pro debuting, former three division world boxing champ, James Toney (0-1) within one lopsided round Saturday night at UFC 118 in Boston. Time of the tap was 3:19 of the first round. “I had to pull out the old low single from college”, Couture said following the bout. “I didn’t...

Edgar Silences the Critics

UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar proved it was no fluke he had the belt around his waist coming into the Octagon Saturday night. He erased all doubts in regards to his somewhat controversial decision win over BJ Penn to win the title last April in Abu Dhabi as he soundly outpointed the former champ with a unanimous decision. “I was able to complete some takedowns and stay on top of...

Couture submits Toney - Edgar dominates Penn
Couture submits Toney - Edgar dominates Penn

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...


UFC 118 undercard results

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...

Cowardice? Not really. It's Floyd's superb intuition
