Boxing Updates!!!!
Wussup everybody! It is definitely time to hit you guys with some boxing updates to let you know how everything is shaping up...
First fight I have is The Jermaine Taylor Vs. Kelly Pavlik. Now I always knew that Jermaine Taylor was not a great fighter. He isn't an attacking fighter. He would rather go round for round and not have someone in his face attacking him every second. And i was correct! After Kelly Pavlik beat one of my favorite fighters a few months back named Edison Miranda, I knew that he would easily defeat Jermaine Taylor...I just guess it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be for him. Kelly got knocked down in the second round and almost looked like it would be all over soon after that; but he composed himself and started throwing big shots. It is definitely one of the best fights of the year. It was a lot of back and forth action making it hard to find a clear winner for the rounds....until the seventh round when a big flurry of punches started to find Taylor's face! Pavlik got Taylor in the corner and released a deadly barrage of punches leaving Jermaine Taylor slumped over on the ropes in the corner. The referee had no choice but to call the fight. Pavlik stuns the boxing world, except for me! I knew he would do it! Congrats Kelly Pavlik on becoming the new Middleweight World Champion!!!
Next fight we have is from Saturday Night where the newly crowned WBC Heavyweight Champion Samuel Peter had to fight veteran Jim McCline. I absolutely thought that Samuel Peter would show us a dominating performance and this fight would be over quickly...I was wrong! Jim McCline knocked down Peter at the end of the second round with a perfectly timed uppercut to the chin at the last second of the round. The next round had Peter on wobbly legs! He was knocked down two more times in the third round! Jim McCline failed to finish the job and Peter came back to win a tight decision and retain his championship belt. Jim McCline fought very well, but he is only a tier 2 fighter and there is no way that he should have had Peter in trouble so easily. So now, i think that Sam Peter's frail chin is finally exposed. He simply can't take a punch and my prediction is that he will lose to a tier 1 fighter very soon and never be heard from again. This is my prediction and it actually saddens me to say so. I have been watching his career for years on this site and I really thought he was the future of the Heavyweight division; but it is not so.....Look for him to lose if he fights another Tier 1 fighter such as a Klitschko or Ibragimov. Only time will tell...
The Last fight I have for you was one of the most boring Pay Per View fights of the year! It was supposed to be the exciting rematch between Manny Pacquiao vs Marco Antonio Barrera. It ended up being more of a chess match than the all out blood and guts war it was hyped up to be. Usually these fighters are very aggressive and throw a lot of punches and simply let it all hang out. Thank god I didn't purchase this fight! Manny Pacquiao won just about every round safely outboxing Barrera. He won a landslide decision victory and afterwards; Barrera announced his retirement from the sport of boxing. He will one day be a hall of fame boxer with over 70 professional fights under his belt. At the end of the day, he was getting old and could no longer take these warrior type of fights that he is known for. Pacquiao is a beast and is unstoppable. As long as he is boxing, he will most likely be the winner...He easily retains his Jr. Lightweight WBC championship Belt with this fight...
