I don't come on here very much at all anymore, but if my memory serves me correctly SAMURAI was a cool dude and a swell poster who contributed a ton to these forums.
I'm certain his presence will be missed around these parts and my condolences go out to his friends and family.
Rest in peace S A M U R A I
Cotto, Mayweather, Pac, B-Hop, Marquez and Paulie as far as that list goes.
To the list I'd add Juanma, Rafa, Izzy, Mosley, Bradley, Gamboa, Calderon and I'm probably forgetting a few.
Not sure I would use the word fan, but I would certainly take time to enjoy watching these fighters do their thing in the ring.
Pacs team are making themselves look bad.
You want the title? Why handicap the champ/beltholder?
If you want the WW belt fight at 147, if you can't, than stay at 140.
If the fight is @145 there shouldn't be a belt on the line, simple as that.
I respect the shit out of Manny but this is simply absurd, it's equivelant to showing up at Cottos house and shitting on his doorstep. Again I don't blame Pac, it's his greedy ass team.
I kinda felt bad for Resto simply because of his claim of not knowing exactly what was going on until minutes before the fight, nonetheless he made his decision to continue with the fight so he has no one to blame but himself, he had a choice. Billy Collins was cheated in such a disgusting and selfish act by Resto and his corner.
As far as I'm concerned Panama Lewis is Garbage, to me it appeared he mind fukked Resto from the beggining. Resto looked up to this man and essentially put his life and trust into the hands of Lewis and he got fukked. It was a tough doc to watch especially the footage from the fight and it showed a dark side in the sport that should never be allowed to occur again.
thanks for the translation
Five almost six minute video translated in two sentences haha.
I just tried summarizing what he said about Cotto/Pac, it's a lot of conversation to translate.
I've had it for a few days now, all in all I enjoy the game.
My only complaint is that during online gameplay it's near imposible to stay on the outside with the jab and straight punches. Jab jab then suddenly your opponent is on the inside throwing over 100 punches per round. The roster is pretty good, legacy mode is good and unless your playing online you can box to a decision or pummel someone to an early k.o., your choice. It seems that online you can only "war" haha.
LOL, this sh*t is crazy. Whispers of a possible match between Cotto and Pac damn near started a war in NSB. I aint gonna get caught up in the "beef". Hell, I got a bunch of Pinoy friends and we'll probably watch the fight at my place. That being said, I got Miguelito puttin' an end to Manny's reign of terror.
what night? dude, ive been going thru some nasty basketball withdrawals as of late....im stuck watching animal planet and old games from this season :nonono:
Ah man, it was sometime mid last week.
It was pretty funny, they were clowning on Adam Morrison saying he looked "baked".
Check these links, if I pasted them correctly they ought to work.

Yea I give a lot of credit to Clottey for Cotto looking sub standard from what we've seen from Cotto in the past. To me this fight was supposed to show where Cotto is after the Marg loss but to be honest I still don't know.
Yeam you can throw that weak chin shit out the window. That's old now. His biggest problem is being constantly pressured and backing up. He gasses out also.
My feelings exactly, not a granite chin but it'll hold up.
His issue is pressure which will wear him down with out question.
Last night he seemed to start out circling but after the dramatics of the cut we saw glimpses of the Marg fight in which he often willingly went to the ropes.
Pressure is the way you beat Miguel, he just aint the same fighter when he moves backward.
The chin and heart Questions are over!!!!!!!!!!!
He showed a lot of heart last night no doubt.
Every time the ringside Doc asked if he was okay Cotto didn't hesitate to say "I'm fine, I'm okay". That was no small nick on his brow either, he was clearly bothered by it but fought on.
His chin is ok. It ain't gr8, but it ain't granite either. Clottey did damage landin wit regularity, not cuz he's a big hitter.
Agreed, he didn't do damage like his nickname "hitter" would imply at least.
Nonetheless I think Cotto put the questions surrounding his chin to rest once he moved up to 147. Yet I still see the vulnerability that he has always shown mainly due to his leaky defense especially for the uppercut.
Haha to be honest ever since people on here first started posting their thoughts on the demo my expectations for the game went down dramatically. The consensus seemed to indicate that the game was a fail. I downloaded it on PSstore a few hours ago and ended up playing for at least one hour straight. I'm not sure that it's all EA said it would be, but It's not a complete tragedy either haha. FNR3 seems very limited in retrospect, but credit that to FNR4. While I personally don't take issue with the TPC config I do agree that the consumer and his/her money deserve config options.
All in all I think EA will get my $60, but I do hope they work out the bugs between now and then such as the body proportions. Oh and the flash KD's are a great addition along with what seems to be a more realistic perspective on how the fighters react to punches in regards to flush shots and glancing blows.
Unfortunately we'll never know the absolute truth in the matter.
Unfortunately this topic will never rest.
For evey argument that implies Marg loaded em' up during the Cotto bout there is a counter argument to be made, this will never rest.
Unfortunately common sense doesn't serve as proof in any place other than the court of public opinion.
