Tonight at 9 p.m. EST from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, live on HBO pay-per-view (U.S.), Top Rank streaming pay-per-view, and Primetime pay-per-view (U.K.), the Pacquiao vs Marquez III card will go live. Three fights precede the main event, and we'll have live updates in the comments of this post, plus immediate post-fight analysis of each bout as they happen on the front page.
The featured undercard attraction will see WBO junior welterweight titlist Timothy Bradley (27-0, 11 KO) face badly faded 40-year-old Joel Casamayor (38-5-1, 22 KO). The fight has been widely criticized by those who feel it's a lousy matchup, and you'd be right and fair to wonder how Casamayor has been deemed a worthy title challenger by the WBO in 2011, but the real purpose of this fight is for Top Rank to showcase Bradley on a major card, as he could be a possible Pacquiao opponent in 2012.
Another junior welterweight matchup is on the card, as Mike Alvarado (31-0, 22 KO) will be facing the only man to ever defeat Amir Khan in the pro ranks, Colombia's Breidis Prescott (24-3, 19 KO). While Prescott has been exposed since the Khan fight, he fought well in his last outing, a questionable decision in Belfast on September 10, losing to Paul McCloskey. Top Rank is back to giving Alvarado, 31, a slight push, no doubt hoping that his outside-the-ring troubles are behind him.
The show's opener will be a super featherweight 10-round attraction pitting Puerto Rico's Luis Cruz (19-0, 15 KO) against Mexico's Juan Carlos Burgos (27-1, 19 KO). This may be the best, most evenly matched fight on the card when all is said and done.

Evening all. I’m off to get 3 hours kip before the 4.30 wake up for the main event! Hope the undercard is good and Timothy Bradley doesn’t bore you all to death.
"Occasionally, there is a boxing match that, in its demonstration of skill, courage, intelligence, hope, seems to redeem the sport - almost. Perhaps boxing has always been a sport in crisis, a sport of crisis."
Fun fact:
I’m trying to order Pac/Marquez from Dish Network. But …
(1) Their phone lines are busy
(2) The PPV ordering website is down
(3) and I’m at #136 in the queue for their online chat support.

Cruz vs Burgos Round 1
Expecting a good fight. Kenny Bayless is your referee.
Burgos trying to start fast with power shots, coming forward. Cruz looks very calm. Burgos with a combination, body and head shots. Body land, head shots are blocked. Cruz waiting. Cruz throws a counter right as Burgos attacks the body again. Burgos misses a left hook. Cruz starting to open up on counters a tad more. Both missing shots as the other steps back to avoid. Three jabs from Cruz. Another one gets in. Burgos with a nice three punch combo to the body, and a clean left hook lands up top. Burgos starting to use his jab now to keep Cruz’s timing off. Burgos bleeding just a bit from the nose. Body shots again from Burgos.
Burgos 10-9
Bad Left Hook
"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
Cruz vs Burgos Round 2
Cruz more aggressive to start the second, jabbing and throwing the right behind it. Burgos warned to going a bit low. Burgos targeting the body still — good stuff. More body work. Burgos has a clear game plan here. Cruz with some good work now, throwing a nice left uppercut as Burgos comes in. Burgos back to the body again, good left hook. Really ripping with that hook to the body. Cruz starting to find some rhythm, but HBO declaring “class is starting to show” in Cruz’s favor is a bit nuts. Burgos with a nice left hook that stings Cruz.
Burgos 10-9

"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
Cruz vs Burgos Round 3
Burgos hurts Cruz again with a big shot. Cruz trying to load up on counters. Burgos with a chopping right. He’s bossing a bit here. Class may be showing, but it might be JCB’s. Suddenly commentary turns against Cruz besides his heavy hands. Good uppercut from Cruz, but he catches another left hook moments later. Cruz just isn’t all that great. Mexican fans starting the “Mexico” chant already. Right hand from Burgos.

Cruz getting himself back in the fight a bit, but then Burgos opens back up. He just looks like a better fighter. But his power is real. Burgos landing good shots, but Cruz’s uppercuts starting to come in better. Good left hook from Cruz, but Burgos right there throwing with him. Cruz imposing his will better this round, though. Thought Cruz took this round.

Cruz vs Burgos Round 5
Burgos back to the body early this round, rights and lefts. Burgos left hook to the body, Bayless warns low but I don’t know. Burgos really digging the body this round. Cruz trying to counter upstairs.
This has been a good fight. About what I expected.
Left hook from Burgos and a good one. Right hand from Burgos, and a good one. I don’t know what HBO’s guys were expecting of Cruz here. He’s exactly what we’ve seen before. Cruz is doing nothing at all this round. Burgos picking him apart. Joltin’ Jim Lampley is having a tough time here. Not according to his script.

Cruz comes in with a right, doesn’t land, but Joltin’ Jim is into it. Cruz trying to work his way back in here, but not winning the round.

Burgos cracks him with another left, while Max loooves Cruz’s intestinals. Burgos lands another left hook. Right to the body, left hook upstairs from Burgos. Cruz is trying to keep himself alive and IS showing heart, but Burgos is winning the fight.

Cruz vs Burgos Round 8
Cruz, to his credit (I may be hard on him), is fighting hard. he is what he is — he waits too much, he’s not as powerful as he thinks he is, etc. But he’s got heart. Burgos not throwing to the body as much now. he’s being pressured. Whether it’s effective is up for debate. Nobody landing a lot this round. Cruz busier and the guy coming forward. Cruz to the body now. Burgos with a 1-2 and a nice shot at the end. Tight round, but I favor Cruz here.

Cruz vs Burgos Round 9
Burgos with body shots and then a WHAM! right hand upstairs. Burgos’ activity better this round than last, which has helped him control the fight. Burgos landing upstairs. Jesus Christ, Lampley is so bad. If Hershman has a brain he revamps this commentary team. These guys need to go. They’re so entrenched in their own bullshit and the “HBO style.” Every fight he works, the % Lampley is better than Mike Goldberg drops.
Hard shot from Burgos again, another left hook. Cruz doing very little. This is Burgos’ fight.

Cruz vs Burgos Round 10
Burgos with another left hook. They’re coming to throw this round, both of them. Cruz with a right. Cruz thinks he needs a KO — his corner seems to believe the same. Burgos with a couple lefts. Cruz with a left hook. Give him this: He’s aiming to win in the final round. Burgos staying out of the pocket some, letting Cruz lead the action. Might not be smart. Burgos jabbing, keeping Cruz back, or trying to. Cruz ends round with a left hook.

Fight starts, and Alvarado is sent to his corner to fix his wrist tape. Prescott’s uppercut gets through, then he throws wide shots, trying to get around Alvarado’s high guard. Prescott jabbing. Alvarado waiting and getting hit. Prescott to the body. Prescott jabbing. Alvarado doing fuck all this round. Prescott looking like he did against McCloskey — sharp and patient.

I have to say, I’m typically someone who thinks Prescott is very non-special who happened to catch a chinny Amir Khan. But he looks pretty good that round.

Alvarado throwing more this round. Prescott’s long jab getting in still. 1-2 from Prescott. Prescott jabbing. Alvarado just not busy — kind of uncharacteristic for him. Prescott left hook gets in. Alvarado coming alive late in the round, but perhaps late. Outworked again.

Prescott RIPPING Alvarado this round with big shots. Alvarad busted open and bleeding horribly. Alvarado getting totally physically dominated. Alvarado is in a bad way physically. He’s got heart left, but Prescott is kicking his ass. Alvarado with a left hook catches Prescott coming in. Alvarado closes the round strong and they fight to the bell!

Don’t know how many people are watching this and thinking “Man I wanna see him (Bradley) fight Pacquiao!”
No one wants to see Bradley… that is why he can’t draw shit even in his hometown… oh wait… blame the promoter according to some.
"Boxing is dirty," said Casamayor. " The day I’m not ready to be a dirty fighter is the day I don’t fight anymore because it will mean that I have no heart for it anymore."
Bradley vs Casamayor Round 4
Joel docked a point for headbutting. I’m watching but I can’t bring myself to describe. Bradley having zero trouble. Casa landings a few pot shots. Nothing on it.
Bradley 40-36
Exactly the ugly fight I figured. Casa still enough to be a pain in the ass.

There was a docked point? Shit. I’m falling asleep with my eyes wide open to this fight.

The best part about it was when Casa raised his glove to acknowledge it. I think he even did a head nod as well.

Casamayor god bless him is by far the best Cuban fighter of recent memory and it is a testiment to his um… savvy that he has lasted as long as he has a 40 year old… or how ever old he says he is.

Bradley vs Casamayor Round 5
Casamayor goes down at 2:10 on a body shot. He looks just awful.
WHO WOULD HAVE EVER GUESSED WHO
Bradley back to the body. Ripping away. Low blow gets in. Who cares? Casamayor is so fun dirty. Bradley pops him with a right upstairs. SO many low blows this round. Good gravy. Anyway Bradley dominates again. SUCH A GOOD FIGHT. THANK YOU BOB ARUM. YOU’VE DONE IT AGAIN.
Anyway.
Bradley 10-8

I’ve rarely heard Lampley so annoyed by every single action in a fight. “A right to the body. Another left to the body.” In this silly sing-song. Fuck you, Jim. You don’t have to take your salary if this is too much to take.
We all know this is a shitty fight. Find something interesting to talk about, or retire.

If only more people felt this way about Merchant, who displays an even worse attitude in 75% of the fights he does.
I’m one of them. And I’ve read and loved Mercant’s old writings.

I think seeing some youtube vid of Mike Tyson punch out is more interesting….or watching paint dry….

This is kind of how Bradley was against Alexander. WInning the fight but content with just winning and not really stepping on the gas.
Most of the best fighters fight that way really
Risk is the enemy.

Thank God hbo just showed us the updated online poll so we see that Pacquiao’s fans went up from 75% to 76%.
Haha, yes. I thought the same thing as you.

They should play Manny’s Filipino song over this fight. Not for any real reason. Just because.

No… Wald will KO him within 3 rounds.

Casamayor down again late in the round. this is pathetic. Miguel Diaz has stopped it.
Timothy Bradley TKO-8
Awful mismatch.

Flamenco’s such an annoying bitch. Especially the second time around.

Remember how one sided your bout with Glass Joe was? That’s pretty much all you missed in that fight.

Casa had a few moments
But mostly after he’d already been knocked down. I really hope TR tries to match him up against decent opponents in the future, but I’m not holding my breath.

And its not like there's a deep pool
Oyher than Khan (which ain’t happening) or a a backup for Pacquiao. I kinda wish Valero was still around. That would have been interesting. Berto or Ortiz might be decent, but those ain’t happening either.

Hate the fact that Casamayor gets a TKO by against an opponent he would of toyed with in his prime
All of it. Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie. I want it all.
You think he would have toyed with Bradley at 140?

Oh yes. Casamayor in his prime was an outstanding, underrated fighter

I doubt it.
Honestly, outside of prime Castillo, Bradley might have been his best opponent ever. If Campbell could beat him, Bradley could have.

i liked the bit when the fight ended.
Cas still has… something, but it’s not gonna work at this level. Bradley, meanwhile, just did what Bradley does.
