    OK,

    this is the double standard that really brings this website down.

    True, this is just sparring not really boxing news worthy.

    However, this is more boxing news worhty more boxng related. Than what a mofo is at on the forbes list, or how much money a dude made in a year, or how much he owes the IRS.

    Sparring is more boxing related and more news worthy than that.

    And, yet SOME fans who don't care about reading the sparring sessions(and rightfully so). Would act like women and go "OMG look where he ranks on the forbes list.:

        Is this Michael Medina even a good fighter?

          Yup.

          "Pacquiao sparred four rounds with Medina yesterday, and for a couple of times had the fighter as tall as Margarito in deep trouble. After the session, he wore a few scratches on his face.

          It was late in the third round when Pacquiao caught Medina with some solid shots, and the Mexican super-welterweight seemed ready to go. But he managed to hold on until the bell sounded".


          But no, he wasn't hurt... only bruised

            yeah, because there's no pain in bruises right?

            Geez, I swear you people just need to let go of the hate.

              You're absolutely correct. It's unfortunate that they can't record or take pictures of the sparring sessions (and for obvious good reasons), so reading little things like this is the closest thing that we get.

              I don't think Medina was the right guy mentally for the sparring sessions. Tapia had the better attitude going into this. But I can't blame him considering who he had to spar against.

                Yeah, that's what I was referring to.

                Tapia was on standby, ready to be tapped, and Medina had already taken his protective gear off when Roach decided to give him one more round with the world’s hardest-hitting boxer.

                “I’ve never sparred against a guy like Pacquiao,” Medina said later on, adding that he tried to pin the FIlipino icon on the ropes but just couldn’t because of his tremendous footwork.

                “I just can’t,” said Medina.

                Again, I don't know about this guy, but he apparently sparred with Mayweather, who we all know is an entirely different boxer. Maybe he'll grow some confidence later in the camp.
