Quick!! 규토 대제! Call the police, Call the Federales, Call the Nevada Athletic Commission…Report the robbery of Manny Pacquiao and the gift given in kind to Tim Bradley Apache ant download.

All I can say is I’ve seen a lot of bad decisions in my time, and this one may take it’s spot in my top five (or less).

All those who bet on Bradley should give their new found money to a charity other than the Pac-Man Foundation…(okay, he may actually have one) 다운로드.

Some folks think this decision will bring new interest and blood to our sport. Why? Is it becoming as set-up as pro wrestling?

Sorry, judges, but even at my most generous, I could not score more than four rounds for Bradley, and that was being generous.***

This week, on the 16th an interesting heavyweight bout takes place in Newark, NJ., when Tomasz Adamek, who makes his home there, takes on Eddie Chambers from nearby Philadelphia 다운로드.

Chambers is five years younger, but other than that there is little to make this prediction easy.

Adamek 45-2-1 (28), has lost to Vitali Klitschko and Chad Dawson, while Chambers 36-2-1 (18) has lost to the younger of the Ukraine brothers, Wladimir Pump it up prime 2 download.

The fight is on NBC Sports Network and is a tough one to pick. Take Adamek, only on the basis of slightly tougher foes.***

On HBO on the 16th, from El Paso, Texas, Julio Caesar Chavez Jr Fight song download. puts his 45-0 (31) mark on the line facing Andy Lee, a 28 year old southpaw who sports a record of 28-1 (20), for the WBC middleweight title.

It’s not an easy fight and probably will go to the judge’s scorecards 다운로드. I’ll predict that Chavez comes out on top, assuming these judges are more on top of their game than those who scored the Bradley – Pacquiao fight last weekend 브이앱 채플.

The interesting fight of the week involves Tim Bradley taking on Manny “Pac Man” Pacquiao at the MGM Grand on June 9, for the WBO welterweight crown.

It’s an important fight for both fighters, as Bradley is reportedly broke and will get a big payday win or lose.

For Pac Man, who has pretty much decided on calling it a career soon, he obviously wants to go out on top 베이식 GANZI. He knows that the match with Floyd Mayweather is probably never going to happen, so he continues to fight what’s left of a pretty week welterweight division.

Is Bradley weak, at 28, he is still young enough to be a force when Pacquiao and Mayweather retire, and at 28-0- (12), he has a few advantages here 체르노빌 자막 다운로드. He’s five years younger than Pac Man, and sports a two inch reach advantage.

Pacquiao, 33, is ½ inch shorter and a southpaw. He comes in with a 54-3-2 mark with thirty eight coming via the “KO” route.

Here’s the big difference in my mind. Pacquiao is the better puncher by far and has fought much better fighters. He also is an aggressive fighter on the inside, which may well neutralize Bradley’s jab 다운로드.

I can see only three ways Bradley can come out on top. An accidental head butt causing a stoppage, Pac Man getting ill before the fight, or injuring himself while entering the ring.

I just can’t see anyway that Bradley can win this fight. But I’m glad he’ll be getting a much needed payday.

Pacquiao by an easy decision 다운로드.

What figured to be two of the more exciting fights upcoming were cancelled when two fighters tested positive for performance enhancing drugs 유희왕 극장판 다운로드.

All athletic commissions should enforce these laws. If the fighter can’t win legitimately, in the ring, without banned substances, he’s more of a coward than a fighter 다운로드.

I personally have a zero tolerance policy towards anyone in boxing, or any sport, that has to resort to illegal drugs to win a fight. Heart and skill should be more than enough 다운로드. All boxers take note, no one convicted of taking these banned drugs will ever get my vote for the Hall of Fame. I only wish other sportswriters would have the same courage.***

One major fight this weekend and it’s a tough one to predict 다운로드.

The bout takes place in Nottingham, England between native born Carl Froch and Lucien Bute. The fight is for the IBF Super Middleweight title.

Bute a fast and smooth southpaw, originally from Romania and now fights out of Canada is two years younger and sports a 30-0 record with 24 coming via the knockout route 남이될수있을까 mp3.

In Rusty’s Corner – “Unimpressed” with Mayweather

Rusty Rubin is a veteran boxing writer

After watching the Mayweather – Cotto fight, I noticed that on more than one occasion “Money” took a breather and let Cotto fight and perhaps win a couple of rounds 카카오톡 api 다운로드. If Mayweather really believes he is better than Pac Man, why doesn’t he fight him? What does he have to lose, well only the zero at the end of his record, which can cost him dearly 다운로드. Am I the only writer out there who believes the time has come for “Money” to put up or shut up….Color me unimpressed with his showing vs. Cotto 찬송가 ppt 다운로드.

Meanwhile, Pacquiao will be fighting Tim Bradley, in what may well be another yawner. It’s not that Pac Man is taking an easy fight, it’s just that there is only one big name out there, and it’s a guy named Mayweather 다운로드.

I’m not analyzing this fight today, but on the surface I see nothing that Bradley brings to the table that can sidetrack Pacquiao. But I’ll do an in-depth report as that fight draws closer.***

Meanwhile, as promised, I’ll give my picks on the top boxing folks who have influenced our sport, good or bad, over the past 75 years 창부타령 다운로드.

Right on top of my list, as a boxer, it has to be Jack Johnson, who did more to influence minorities to perform not only in boxing but all sports,  than anyone else before him amr 코덱 다운로드. He was of course the first black heavyweight champion.

There are others who should be mentioned as positive forces in boxing: fighters like Muhammad Ali; Ernie Terrell; Floyd Patterson; Oscar de la Hoya; Christy Martin; and I apologize to all those I left out in the interest of space 다운로드.

In the non-boxer area, my thought would be Nat Fleisher and the late Bert Sugar, whose names will always be part of the journalistic presence and positive influences on our sport 스피릿위시 다운로드.

There are others who won’t be remembered for their skills in the ring, but on the apron, Eddie Futch and Angelo Dundee to name just a few 다운로드.

I left out the promoters and their publicists mainly because they can and often are listed as both positive and negative influences. I have my opinions, but mine are as good (or bad) as anyone else 다운로드.

I will add a few people like the late boxing writer Jack Welsh, a personal friend for many, many years. Jin Carlin, who is always on the sidelines, always more than willing to lend a hand.

And let’s not forget those who spend their time and money getting the stories out on the web. They also promote the fights and fighters.***

One final note, while I am not a fan of MMA , probably because I’m an old boxing guy and don’t accept change very well. I will give full credit to MMA for being not only a money maker, but since it’s rapid rise in popularity, more and more gyms are opening and the kids are getting off the streets again. It’s also a positive influence on boxing for just that reason.

A lot of sports will be televised this Saturday, and while nothing, including the Kentucky Derby (wish I could get down there again) is easy to pick, the fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr 일러스트 10 다운로드. and Miguel Cotto might be the easiest, as they will be featured at the MGM in Vegas for a 12-rounder for Mayweather’s WBA super welterweight title on PPV 질투나요 baby 다운로드.

It’s not that Mayweather is unbeatable (although he has been up till now), except for Manny Pacquiao, there is not a lot of talent out there, and I won’t hold my breath waiting for that fight to ever happen 다운로드.

So exactly what tools does Cotto bring into the fight? Age is one advantage. At 31, Cotto brings a four year advantage here. Neither is a big enough puncher to expect a quick KO, although both have more than ample power to wear the other down 다운로드.

Cotto has other problems, mainly Mayweather’s speed (foot and hand), his two reach disadvantage to Floyd makes it imperative to get inside, and to get inside you first have to catch Mayweather or slow him down with a power punch or two 리모콘 어플.

On paper, Floyd, 42-0 (26), it seems like an easy mis-match. I just can see no way that Cotto can out-speed him.

Mayweather should be able to land enough punches to either stop Cotto late, or win an easy unanimous decision.***

Time Magazine recently had an issue listing the most influential people in the world 영어책 다운로드. I’d like to take that item to the readers of this column. Please e-mail me your top 10 boxers in the past 75 years and why. I also feel that the same poll should include the top 10 non-fighters who have had a major influence on the sport 7공주 mp3 다운로드. Your help will be appreciated and my personal choices for both will appear in this column next week.

In Atlantic City on April 28, “Bad” Chad Dawson faces a rematch with “The Executioner” Bernard Hopkins who, despite his age, 47, keeps on fighting 다운로드.

Despite his age, Hopkins can still fight, boasting a 52-5 record with 32 knockouts.

Hopkins last fight, against the same Chad Dawson, wound up as a two round non-decision in Los Angeles 다운로드. Verdicts like that happen when an orthodox fighter meets a southpaw, which Dawson is.

Dawson 29, has a record of 30-1 with 17 coming by was of KO 다운로드. His only loss was to Jean Pascal.

A very interesting and possibly very entertaining match this week, from Mexico City, for the WBO interim lightweight title 다운로드.

What makes this bout interesting is that one fighter Serhiy Fedochenko is from the Ukraine and has fought all is fights, except his last one there 스타 빠른무한 다운로드. I haven’t seen him, but clearly there is some confusion as to his first name. Is it Serhiy of Sergey. I’ll go with Sergey who enters this tough match against Juan Manuel Marquez, with a record of 30-1 with 13 knockouts 다운로드.

Fedortenko has not fought any ‘names’ and that’s what makes it tough to find a way to make a solid pick.

On paper, Juan Manuel Marquez is the only name that viewers will know and he is fighting on his home turf 다운로드.

Marquez 38, one of the best Mexican fighters that ever donned a pair of gloves is aging a bit, but has never lost the heart that Hispanic fighters are known for 들국화 1집 다운로드. He has taken on all the iron in his division and gave them all his best.

Marquez enters the fray with a 53-6-1- mark and has 39 KO’s. One of those losses was to Chris John in Indonesia, a fight everyone who saw it (except the judges) say Marquez one 어벤져스 자막 다운로드. JMM will probably call it a career soon, but most fighters who retire don’t stay retired for very long.

Marquez has much the same problem this writer has, in never having seen his seven year younger opponent and not knowing what to expect cython 다운로드. It could be the fight that upsets are made of.

But if Fedorchenko is seeking an upset, he came to the wrong place to fight the wrong opponent. Marquez is still one of the toughest fighters around and is fighting on his home turf 윈도우 8.1 한글 언어 팩 다운로드.

Fedortenko may surprise Marquez but he certainly will not lost to him. Marquez by stoppage.

This is catch-up time as there are no major fights this week 러블리즈 앨범 다운로드.

Last week I noted that HBO judge and commentator Harold Lederman will be inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame.

I located the rest of the list that I obviously couldn’t locate at the time of my last writing 더 캣 다운로드. Along with Lederman being inducted in the non-participant category are Jimmy Glenn; Ray Arcel; Gil Clancey;  Steve Acunto; Arthur Mercante Sr., Bill Gallo and Nat Fleisher 우당탕탕 아이쿠 다운로드. In the participant category we find: : Mike Tyson; Sugar Ray Robinson; Riddick Bowe; Vito Antofurtmo; Mike McCallum; Tony Canzoneri; Carmen Basilio; Benny Leonard; Gene Tunney; Carlos Ortiz; Emile Griffith and Jake LaMotta 우분투 16.04 다운로드.

A lot of old friends getting their just rewards. Congratulations to all.

The event will be held at Russo’s on the Bay in Howard Beach, NY…Doors will open at 12:30 and more info can be had by calling 716-728-4862.***

I  write this column early, not because I played ‘favorites’ in last weeks picks, but because boxing lost a friend in Bert Randolph Sugar, who past away from lung cancer 다운로드.

Boxing lost a lot when it lost it’s best known spokesman and most of us in the media lost a good friend.

Speaking for myself, I had spent many enjoyable times with Bert, and although I haven’t seen him for about six years, he always had a warm hug and lit cigar for me phone screen sharing. (fortunately, I had stopped smoking many years earlier). I have a lot of stories about Bert and if I can locate the issue of Ring Sports that I did an interview with him in, I will publish it again on this site… 피망섯다 다운로드.

HBO judge Harold Lederman will be inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame hwidgen. Congratulations to an old friend and the others who deservedly will be inducted with him.

Although Nevada has become the Mecca of boxing in the U.S 다운로드. there is no Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame. I guess it’s understandable as I find it hard to find any native born people worthy, except maybe Gina Carano 82년 김지영 다운로드.

Nevada has had some great refs like Mills Lane and judges who were born elsewhere. The same can be said of the many well known writers of past and present 다운로드. If being native born is the criteria, it may be a long time until there are enough people qualified.***

Two watch able fights this weekend, although not necessarily exciting ones 다운로드. Both are hard to figure.

NBC Sports will be showing a card from Brooklyn New York, featuring native son Zab Judah in the main event. The fight is for the WBC lightweight crown Crownix html5 viewer download.

While I can’t see Judah losing before the hometown crowd, he is 34 years old and his best days seem far behind them. Add to that equation the fact that he faces undefeated 24 year old Vincent Paris (22-0 (15), and you just may have the ingredients for an upset 다운로드.

Judah, a southpaw who hasn’t shown a lot of power in his 4` wins (only three via the KO route), is a good boxer but clearly has seen better days, and perhaps better opponents 쥐가 백마리 다운로드.

Paris is a harder hitter and seems to be on his way up. Still it’s hard to see him winning a decision over Judah in Brooklyn. My guess is he needs a KO 다운로드.

Glad to be back after a short absence 버추얼박스 64비트. Fortunately, for me, but not for boxing, I did not miss very much of importance.

On Feb. 4, at the Alamodome in San Antonio, what shapes up to be a great doubleheader takes place and one that will be shown on HBO 다운로드.

In one match,, for the WBC middleweight crown heavy fisted Marco Antonio Rubio puts his record of 53-5 1 (46) against fast and undefeated champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr 탱고음악 다운로드. 44-0-1 (31).

Rubio, 31, is shorter and slower than Chavez, but is the bigger puncher. He also has a three inch reach disadvantage.

Great fight, I like Chavez via TKO late 울타리 3.5 다운로드.

In the other bout, Wilfredo Vasquez Jr. takes on fast, hard hitting Nonito Donaire from the Philippines.

Vasquez at 27 is two years younger and shows one loss, that to Jorge Arce last year in Vegas 다운로드. His record is an impressive 21-1 with 18 KO’s.

Donaire, 29, is a southpaw with a two inch reach advantage. His record is 27-1 (18).

Take Donaire by a late TKO, in another great match-up 문명의 시대 아시아 다운로드.

Glove 2 Glove:

We lost five boxing guys since my last article (and probably more that I wasn’t notified of). Prayers are asked for the souls of Angelo Dundee, 90, Brian Curtis, 74, Goody Petronelli 88, referee Wayne Kelly and Don Fullmer 다운로드.
