no gopi is a cool cat, he has good post on here....i just see the winner by decision been my gut instinct since the fight was announced...and i'm also saying that because nobody else thinks it will go to decision...but could go either way

i hate 2 disagree with you because u really know ur stuff but i cant see it going the distance

I may be a Filipino who just happens to migrate here in the US 5 years ago, but I'm a boxing fan first and foremost, it just so happen that one of my countryman is doing good, so it was a plus. I've been an avid boxing fan since I was 9 years old, and that was many, many moons ago! If my memory serves me right, the Vietnam war was still going on and **** was the US president! lol

Back in the days, the best fights the best. There might be an easy mandatory every now and then, but the fight, boxing pundits wants to see almost always gets made. Belts nowadays don't mean diddly squat, they're a dime a dozen. It's all about the Benjamins today. The bigger the name (and fanbase) a boxer gets, the more the value of the alphabet soups (sic) belt goes down to his priorities. I can't blame the boxers though, with all the f**k-ups the sanctioning bodies been doing on a consistent basis lately, they ain't called the suctioning bodies for nothing I guess...

Ricky said he's had 5 sparring partners this week - you can tell from the markings on his face. At least he's getting a tough work out before the fight - the same can't be said about Manny. Anyone else think he sounds as if he's got a bit of a cold though??

Still sitting a little too much on his power punches... Not all that fluid although Floyd really put some work in Ricky, you can tell some stuff of old there.

Cant wait for this fight, still cant pick a winner.. but pacman continues to impress me after every fight.
