I wish I had never gone to that shit. In the arena, it looked like Oscar was letting his little brother beat him up. It looked staged; he was looking at the shots coming and would only brace himself, not trying to hold or actually avoid the shots. That shit looked shady to me. Anyway, I spent a shit load of money, walked away sick, as all the Filipinos in the arena were jacking off with joy. The shit was just sickening. I'll admit, I wanted Manny to win going into the fight, but once you're there, in that environment, you can't help but root for your man. Manny owned the house come fight night. Mexicans were in the minority. All the Mexicans & Chicanos walked away from that mess with a look of disgust on their (our) faces.
Looking on the bright side though, the event itself was unlike anything I've ever experienced. The weigh in was crazy, crazier than the fight; at least it was more competitive. Fighters were walking around the MGM all weekend, many unrecognized be the common bystander. The highlight of my weekend: Getting shit faced with Ricky Hatton at the Zuri Lounge.
Cool man, I was in Vegas too and it was depressing as hell seeing all the Manny fans going crazy. Truly a disappointing weekend.... not to mention the 3 G's I lost on Oscar.
3 G's, damn, sorry dude, I thought about putting a thousand down on Manny, just cuz of the odds.
Are the weigh-ins free and open to the public? That'd be cool.
Shiit faced with Hatton huh? Dope? Was he just chillin at a bar? Or do you actually know the guy?
Nah, he was kicking it at the Zuri Lounge with some hoe, I just had a couple beers with him. Dude's a party animal.

nice man, I had a good time too, check out my sig! :luvbed:
I called this shit happening. That's how I felt during Pavlik/Hopkins. Shit looked real shady. Pavlik sat there and watched punches land on his chin. Don't ever go to a Oscar, Hopkins, Mosley fight ever again. If you liked the atmosphere of this fight, you should've been to the Pac/Marquez 2 fight. Unbelievable intensity in the whole arena. Everyone in that motha was on their feet from the undercards to the end of the night.
Palvik got his ass beat by a better fighter, don't change this shit around.

I have to agree with you on your first paragraph man. The fight was not all that, I loved the fact that the smaller man beat the bigger guy, but each round dint even look 1% competitive, more like a sparring session. I had to get drunk during the fight and after the fight to forget it. At least we wont see mismatch's for a while now.....
PS: You sound you like you had a good time, you have any photos??
