It looks like Pavlik is going to fight Tito before he fights Duddy. I think he can unify them. There's nobody who could really challenge Pavlik in the divsion.

Looking foward to the Heavyweight unification bout on Saturday. I hate the divsion but this might turn out to be a good fight. The unification makes it even more intresting. I think Wlad wins the fight but hopefully they put on a good show. HBO is also putting on a movie saturday night about Joe Louis that looks real good.

Klitshcko dominated, but it was way boring. He threw maybe 10 right hands the entire night. In an undercard, Duddy won, but got roughed up. He has a nasty cut. I bet he's out until fall. That would probably setup Trinidad as Pavlik's opponet. If, a big IF, he can get down in weight, he'll get the fight, and one final beat down before he retires. Pavlik will knock him out in 6.

I'm looking forward to the HBO card this weekend, despite the main event being a mismatch in my opinion. Cotto is by far the PFP best IMO and should beat Gomez to a bloody pulp, but I am definately going to tune in early for the Cintron/Margarito rematch. I think Cintron will redeem himself from his previous KO loss to Margarito and conquer his man on Saturday.

Yup, Cotto is my favorite fighter, and in my opinion the best. It's too bad the two biggest names(Mayweather and De La Hoya) want nothing to do with him. Cotto is a bad, bad man.
Cintron-Margarito should be excellent. At least we know the winner won't wuss out in fighting Cotto. Cintron has looked good recently, but so has Margarito. Even in his loss to Williams, I thought he pulled out a victory. Should be an excellent card.

Anybody watch Cotto-Gomez and Cintro-Margarito?
Lots and lots of pain was dealt out.
Cotto pretty much stopped punching by the 4th round because he felt sympathy for Gomez. He got the TKO in 5.
Margarito has a granite chin and destroyed Cintron w/ a body shot midway through.
While Cintron was on the canvas, Margarito was yelling and waving his arms at Cintron to get up so he could beat him down some more. He couldn't get up.
Cotto-Margarito in July will be the fight of the year.

Watched them and couldn't be more impressed with Cotto. Him and Pavlik are all that holds my attention to boxing. I would really, really like to see Cotto fight Mayweather. That fight would get my $59.99 PPV dollars. I was pretty dissappointed in Cintron. Thought he'd turned the corner but Antonio manhandled him.

Anybody see Juan Urango's knockout last night?
It was all over Sportscenter. He just crumpled the dude.
When you hit a guy so hard his knees buckle and he's out cold before he hits the canvas, that's impressive.

Columbian fighters are my favorite. They are usually not happy with decision victories. Get on BoxRec.com and look at all their records. With few exception, they all have a 90+ knockout percentage. Ricardo Torres in another of my favorites.

Torres, the undefeated tough guy going into the Cotto fight? He was absolutely destroyed by Cotto.
Torres is good, but that was robbery vs. Holt. I mean the crowd was throwing food on Holt all night. Even a full beer can hit him. No way a title fight should ever be held in Columbia. I'm glad there is going to be a rematch... in America.

Except for the fact that he knocked Cotto down in the 2nd round and damn near had him out several more times. One of the best fights I've ever seen.
