Bert Sugar apparently doesn't read Bad Left Hook... ;)
Former BLH writer Kevin Gonzalez is at the Cotto/Pacquiao fight and sent me this email…
Sugar was by himself. Just walked into the bar at the MGM, and sat down next to me. I didn’t realize it at first, because I was talking to a friend of mine (Cotto’s lawyer’s friend), so he told me: “Hey, isn’t that some famous boxing guy behind you?” I turned and it was Bert fucking Sugar, fedora and cigar and all. We talked for a good while—he was extremely, extremely nice. I told him about my writing, and I also told him about badlefthook, but I got the impression that he doesn’t go online. Funny thing is, after talking to him for a while, I asked if it’d be okay to take a photo with him, and when we took one, a bunch of people who were at the bar (packed with boxing fans) realized that Bert Sugar was there, so they started mobbing him and asking him for photos too, which he was very nice about.
I didn’t watch the last 24/7, but I think Cotto looks good. I hope he didn’t overtrain, though. And I don’t really know about this Joe Santiago guy—I think it’s pretty clear that Cotto calls the shots in his training camp, and essentially trains himself. That said, I think Manny may be a little overconfident himself. He actually has a concert scheduled for tomorrow night, after the fight. He’s going to fight Cotto, and then sing…I think that’s pretty ridiculous.
The atmosphere here is insane. When I went to the Cotto-Margarito weigh in, there were probably about 200 people there early, waiting for the doors to open. When I got there today, about 2 hours before they opened the doors (4 hours before the actual weigh in), there were thousands and thousands of people standing in line. Every hotel is showing the fight on closed circuit, and those are selling out too… It should be insane in there tomorrow. A lot of gansgta-looking Filipinos around. I wouldn’t be surprised if it got ugly in the crowd, or at the MGM after the fight, tomorrow…

This is going to be a legendary fight
It isn’t often that I simply have no idea what to expect. I would not be surprised by PacMan by KO, by UD, by SD, or Cotto by KO, UD, or SD. I could see either guy KTFO the other in the first two rounds, or a late round stoppage on cuts. Truly, this could be the fight of the decade.

No beer purchase required in AL, AR, CT, HI, IN, KY, ME, MO, NY, NJ, NC, OK, UT, or WV.
I have no idea how to reconcile that with the first and second terms of the following:
TO RECEIVE YOUR REBATE:
Send this completed Official Rebate Offer Form along with (1) the original dated cash register receipt for one (1) Tecate® or Tecate® Light 12PK or larger with the purchase price circled (where required); (2) original UPC from one (1) Tecate® or Tecate® Light 12PK or larger (where required); (3) original TV service billing statements, bearing name and address of TV service subscriber, with purchase of Manny Pacquiao vs. Miguel Cotto HBO® Pay-Per-View Fight on November 14, 2009, circled.

"where required"
The “where required” means that step isn’t required where the beer purchase isn’t required. So in NY, you just need to fill out the slip and send it to them with a copy of your cable bill.

I actually enjoy watching Yuri Foreman. I think he’s a guy who maximizes his own skills and it’s really not an ugly style. He can’t hit for shit but I’m looking forward to that fight.

I heard those fights were horrible though
There’s a CHANCE Santos-Foreman could be a good tactical fight, even though there’s virtually no chance it ends before the final bell. Soto-Gomez could be a war. Chavez has had entertaining fights before. On paper, it’s a bad undercard, but it could end up being decent.

The Catubay fight was interesting because Catubay was just unloading huge shots until Rosas could finally figure out what was going on. So that was at least entertaining, and he was also being a dick about, Catubay that is, so much so that I really wanted him to get KTFO. Therefore there was one fight that was interesting, Soto-Gomez then needs to be good to live up to that I guess then. I think Santos-Foreman is going to get too cautious/technical and might be a snoozer. JCC jr Rowland, its embarrassing that this much of a showcase fight is on PPV….

While this one isn't great
there have been a lot of PPV undercards that looked even worse on paper than this one. Usually Top Rank PPVs also. Bob Arum just loves to load his least TV-friendly fighters onto PPV undercards, since it’s the only way he can get them paid (since a network would never pay for a Foreman or Luevano fight).

I'm so mixed on this fight
I do love both of these fighters dearly
1) On one hand, I wish for Manny to lose so everyone can shut up already about him being pound for pound king.
2) On the other, I would like to see the “Super Bowl” of boxing in a Pacquaio/Mayweather Jr bout.
But I genuinely like Miguel more as a person and as a fighter.
I still think Pac wins in 10 though
Ughh

After much deliberation, I think I’ve decided to root for Cotto, even though I love Pacquiao too. Two of my reasons:
1. I think Cotto was probably wronged in the Margarito fight and would like to see that wrong righted in some cosmic sense. Who knows where Cotto would be today if he had beaten Margarito? He might have beaten De La Hoya next and become huge.
2. Too many annoying Pacquiao supporters. They break down into two groups. First, you have the ones who are like the new editions of Bill Swerski’s Superfans and think Pacquiao is a demigod and have very little knowledge of boxing apart from Pacquiao. Second you have your celebrity bandwagon-jumpers, like Sylvester Stallone saying he’s “afraid for Cotto” without even knowing how to pronounce “Cotto” properly. Both are vile. Cotto’s fanbase is much less irritating, probably because there have been so many Puerto Rican champions in the recent past so this is “been there done that.”
Normally, I wouldn’t consider silly stuff like this, but sometimes you have to do it just because you need a tiebreaker. I do hope Pacquiao acquits himself well and continues to be a megastar for years to come.

I got hit with a bolt of lightning a few hours ago, and I had a revelation: This fight is going to end in a draw. Early rounds are going to the Pacman, while Cotto will gobble up the second half with Marquez-like counterpunching.

Im rooting on Cotto because I think he fights well even in adversity. A lot of people forgets that he actually was winning rounds against Margarito.

There is the little known link between The Philippines and Mexico: The Philippine archipelago was governed by the Spaniards through New Spain, now Mexico from the mid 16th to the early 19th century. In that time, the Manila-Acapulco Galleon Trade flourished, bringing all sorts of goodies from both places to “indios,” “mestizos,” and “peninsulares” alike.
So in honor of this centuries long exchange, we bring you, “Battle Axe of Doom,” Manny Pacquiao. From us, to you. Enjoy.

Prediction.
I’ll admit that I have no reason to believe this other than my fandom, but I’m going with Cotto by TKO in 5. I figure that’s a rare enough call for me to get some credit if by blind luck it comes true and I’d be thrilled to see it!

I'm guessing the Pinoy is the prospect
He’s 14-2-1, Marquez is 9-5-2. Arum LOVES signing pretty much any young Pinoy prospect he can find for peanuts, and then dumps them the second they don’t pan out.

Mepranum has a really nice right hook
He fights southpaw, but I’m guessing he’s a natural righty who fights southpaw because, well, that’s what Pinoy fighters do. Pretty much every prominent Pinoy fighter has been southpaw, other than Nonito Donaire, who became a fighter in the U.S.

Surprising
I guess not so much, since the Thai fighters just LOVE to get in there and beat up really inexperienced guys, but both of Mepranum’s losses have come to good Thai fighters on Thai soil – current titlist Denkaosan Kaovichit and rising star (27-0) Panomroonglek Kratingdaenggym.

Realistically, Marquez probably needs a knockout to win
But if he was the prospect walking in, he’d almost certainly get the win. I have the fight even after 5, and Marquez has all the momentum.

Gomez-Soto Karass R1
Both jabbing to start. Gomez shoots a long left that comes up from under, lands. Same punch lands again moments later, and a right comes behind it. JSK warned for a borderline low shot. JSK comes in, Gomez warned for a low shot this time. Both guys are throwing, as expected. Lot of jabs being thrown this round, just constant back and forth tactics at center ring. JSK landing a few decent shots with both hands, and now they both dig to the body. Gomez with a hard left to the body. Right to the body, left hook upstairs by Gomez. Now he throws a right hand haymaker that is blocked. Good first round of action, and I think this one will kick into a second gear pretty quickly.
Soto Karass 10-9, but close round

Gomez-Soto Karass R2
Nice sneaky right by Gomez is the first good shot of the round. Right hand by Gomez upstairs again. It’s just a quick little shot he’s throwing where JSK can’t see it. Good right-left combo from Gomez, and now he’s really putting in some good work. Gomez is the aggressor this round for sure. Soto Karass eating those counter rights, and there’s a BIG right hand by Gomez that caught JSK. Gomez needs a haircut. Hippy. That right lands again, and there it clips JSK again. Nice right by JSK near the end of the round, but then another from Gomez. Nice action to close it. Fun fight so far.

Gomez-Soto Karass
Gomez starting to really press the action, making it happen, and taking firm control. JSK looks a little sluggish right now. The first round was even, but the second and first half of the third have Gomez looking much faster. Butt of heads, Gomez is cut outside of his left eye. Drakulich warned JSK for low blows again, threatened to take a point next time. Doctor will take a look.
That’s not a good cut, but we’ll go on.
And now we have another low blow, and Soto Karass loses a point.
1-2 by Gomez, who has entirely controlled this round. Looks like the late weight cut might have really affected Soto Karass. Nice left hook by Gomez, and now JSK drops his hands. He looks frustrated.

Gomez-Soto Karass R4
Both guys are coming out throwing the hands to start the fourth for sure. Gomez looks like he wants to go for a finish, fighting with as Brick said, some real urgency.
ANOTHER LOW BLOW! And another point! Soto Karass is straying low constantly in this fight. This is rough. Now JSK needs to do something. He’s in a real hole now.
Gomez REALLY firing some shots that have some purpose on them now. He’s also done really well defensively, slipping and dodging very nicely the entire fight. Gomez pumping the jab now.

Gomez-Soto Karass R5
NICE right hand by JSK to start the right, following a left hook to the ribs. Looks like JSK realizes he’s in a hole and will need a stoppage win probably. Nice combo by Gomez, and then a GREAT combo coming back from JSK. This is a bit of a dogfight round, really aggressive from JSK and the blood is bothering Gomez. Snapping jab by Soto Karass. And another one. The blood is really bothering Gomez now. So is his hair. I’m not being funny — his hair keeps getting in his eyes. They end it trading, and Soto Karass lands some hard shots in that exchange. Tremendous round for JSK.

He really is a world class fighter. One of the best fighters who gets no pub. But he’s nowhere near active enough.

Santos-Foreman R1
Lead left by Santos, and now he puts on the bum’s rush. Santos at 173 looks really, REALLY soft. FAST lead right hand doubled up by Foreman. And Foreman comes right back at him. I think Foreman can feel and see he’s going to have a speed advantage here. Santos looks really tentative and again, quite soft. I mean 173 — good gracious. Santos misses an upperut from outside.
Both throw their power hands at the same time, nobody lands. Santos gets aggressive at the end of the round, but this one was Yuri’s for me.

Santos-Foreman R2
Santos is going baaaaaaaaaald.
First minute of this round is everything we expected, as in nobody is doing anything. Foreman with a quick rush, nothing real lands, and he gets back outside. Foreman does a duck and rush but then doesn’t…throw a punch. Santos does. Santos thinks he has Yuri hurt, but doesn’t. HUGE LEFT BY SANTOS! Foreman nearly went down. RIGHT HAND FOREMAN AND DOWN GOES SANTOS! looked like a punch on the break. Santos is pissed. That was pretty obvious if you ask me. On the break and to the back of the head.
Woof.

Santos-Foreman R3
I just get the feeling watching this that eventually, Santos is going to knock Yuri out pretty goddamn hard.
Foreman bouncing and circling, bouncing and circling, flicking his left hand around, occasionally throwing the right but not really getting close to landing it. Meanwhile Santos stands there. He’s really into standing there. Foreman with a slappy rush at Santos, who goes the ropes and gets it reset at center ring. There’s a right from Yuri inside the final seconds. That wins the round for sure!

Lampley is actively calling this fight a POS, which is one of the times I always love Jim. He doesn’t front. Lederman just called the knockdown “legitimate” — what the hell did he see?
In fact, Lampley has just about given up on this fight, it seems. There’s a left from Santos that clips. He’s looking for one left hand. Santos is awful tonight. Just awful. BIG RIGHT BY FOREMAN! SANTOS STUNNED AND FOREMAN IS FIRING AND WINGING SHOTS! He hit him in the back of the head again there. Round ends shortly after.

Foreman with ANOTHER big right. He’s landing that basically whenever the hell he throws it. He’s starting to get more aggressive. The rest of the opening 2:30 is mostly Foreman bouncing around.

Santos-Foreman R6
Foreman hits him to the body, Santos falls, ruled a slip. Santos had tried to load up his left again early, but it didn’t land so I think he’s waiting for the seventh round to try again. Sneaky right by Foreman. Yuri gets a bit aggressive, Santos ties him up. Clash of heads, Foreman bleeding a bit. Santos just fucking growled at him. I’m serious. What the fuck was that? Then Steward briefly turns into the Micro Machines guy.
