Pacquiao vs Mosley: Showtime Extreme Red Carpet Event Live Coverage

PrintThis evening's live coverage of the entire Pacquiao vs Mosley event will start at 7pm ET with the Red Carpet event on Showtime Extreme.
The show will be hosted by Mario Lopez of "Saved by the Bell," "Extra" and "The Golden Girls" fame, as well as Top Rank correspondent Ines Sainz.
Fighter interviews will be a big feature on the show, and there will also supposedly be some undercard fights featured as well. Hopefully we'll see blue chip prospect Jose Benavidez Jr. (10-0, 9 KO) featured if there are fights, and hopefully there are indeed fights and this doesn't wind up being two hours of Mario and Ines stumbling through boxing coverage.
The Pacquiao vs Mosley PPV coverage will start at 9pm ET here on Bad Left Hook. We will have separate threads for the three undercard bouts in one post, and the Pacquiao vs Mosley main event fight in another post, so hopefully no one will experience any lag later on. Those threads will go live at 7pm ET, just when this is starting.

"That was very funny about the old man basketball skills. One is lucky to escape injury when playing against those crafty, crusty sumbitches. And it’s just demoralizing when they demonstrate yet again how to use the backboard from range." - Charlie Custer

Weirdly, i went to my local boxing pub and asked the attractive barmaid to put the boxing on (expecting prizefighter to come on as most english pubs seem to only have sky for boxing). To my suprise Danny Mcintosh ended up making his way to the ring. I politely asked the annoyed barmaid to change it to prizefighter annoying half the pub that were getting interested in Danny Mcintosh. Please tell me that fight was a bore as I was quite disapointed with prizefighter tonight ( tho i will admit I missed the Tye Fields knockout)

Geale actually got the decision?
Good for him.

"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
Well, that's one German MW champion dethroned,there's still two more
one very undeserving one (Zbik) and one good but almost pass his prime one (Sturm)
Hey that’s not Mario Lopez. That’s Jaime Motta.
And apparently Barry Tompkins is “getting some.”
Bad Left Hook
"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
first fight
MGM Grand is totally empty.
Pier Olivier Cote (15-0, 10 KO) v. Aris Ambriz (15-1-1, 8 KO)
Bad Left Hook
"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
Cote-Ambriz R1
Cote with a nice right early, and then another one but takes one back. Cote, of course, is the prospect here and he’s banging early. Ambriz swelling a little already. Ambriz trying to stay away a little bit, not a bad idea. Cote with a right to the body.
Cote 10-9
Bad Left Hook
"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
Cote-Ambriz R2
Cote swinging a right uppercut now. Cote with that stiff right, and another, AND ANOTHER and he’s beating the shit out of Ambriz in the corner. BAD body shots. Hot damn. That was quite a charge by Cote. Another right hand. Left hook lands hard. Cote with more body work. Totally dominating this round.
Cote 10-9
Cote 20-18
Bad Left Hook
"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
Cote-Ambriz R3
Ambriz sticking a jab into Cote’s face to try to deter him now. Cote’s jab is stiffer, though. I can’t imagine Ambriz lasts too much longer here. Cote is just ripping him when he feels LEFT HOOK, RIGHT HAND, DOWN GOES AMBRIZ! Ambriz back up and will fight on.
Cote ripping again, two right hands land. Left hook from down low. Cote is now clearly outclassing Ambriz and this has become a waiting game. Vic Drakulich picks his nose ringside.
Cote 10-8
Cote 30-26

Also, I can't believe the arena is literally EMPTY.
People spend all this money on their tickets and don’t want to get their money’s worth I guess. I’m more of an MMA head, and when I’m at a UFC event for the first prelim the place is about 30% full already, at least the hardcore fans are interested in seeing the up-and-comers and they don’t just show up en masse for the main event.
I’m hoping for more shows like this, where a TV audience gets to see what goes down deep on the undercard. Fostering a culture that cares about these fights would be a big first step. These fights have just been buried forever. It’s really sad. You’d at least hope to get the place 15% or so full.

Obviously I don’t have the time to follow boxing as much as I want. But seeing an impressive performance by a guy like Cote that I’d never have seen without this show makes me want to see Cote fight again. That’s…that’s what helps a sport grow.

Cote-Ambriz R4
I like Cote. not totally sold on him — well Tony Weeks just stops this thing.
Pier Olivier Cote TKO-4
Bad Left Hook
"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
YES!
Jose Benavidez Jr. (10-0, 9 KO) v. James Hope (6-7-1, 4 KO)
Benavidez is IMO the #1 prospect in boxing.
Bad Left Hook
"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
Flag man’s moustache is amazing.
Bad Left Hook
"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
Benavidez-Hope R1
Benavidez with a stiff right as soon as he gets an opening. Left hook. Hope swinging wild, and I’m digging it. He’s here to fight. Hope with a right upstairs that lands a bit. Not the best opening round for Benavidez, to be honest, but I thought he landed the better shots. See where he turns it up here — I agree with Tompkins that it’s not bad that the kid is getting tested a bit.
Benavidez 10-9
Bad Left Hook
"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
Benavidez-Hope R2
Benavidez’s nose is bloodied after a little charge by Hope. The kid still needs defensive work, obviously. Hope is pressing the action and I like the way he’s dipping around. Benavidez rips away now when Hope showboats like a dolt. Benavidez turning it up now in the last 90 seconds to take this round under control. RIPPING body shot with the left hook by Benavidez. Right hand lands upstairs. Hope staggered! Left hook! Benavidez doesn’t go nuts, but starts stalking. Hope is hurting in there but staying up and staying away. Benavidez tags him a couple more times.
Boy, as soon as Hope pissed off Benavidez, this changed.
Benavidez 10-9
Benavidez 20-18
Bad Left Hook
"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
Benavidez-Hope R3
Hope seems a bit less confident in his ‘swag’ now. Body shot again. Benavidez starting to really knock Hope around and there’s a BIG right hand! (Someone’s gotta Lampley tonight. Why not me?) SICK right by Benavidez. Well Hope can take a shot, that’s for sure, because Jose can punch. Benavidez just beating the hell out of him, tagging the body and landing upstairs. Kind of surprised Vic Drakulich didn’t step in.
Benavidez 10-9
Benavidez 30-27
Bad Left Hook
"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
Benavidez-Hope R4
Benavidez controlling the action. I do like Hope’s overall effort here. Definitely not folding for Benavidez, which is more constructive than someone who’s going to crumble on many of these shots. Benavidez halfway takes the round off, but still wins it easily and lands some good shots.
Benavidez 10-9
Benavidez 40-36
Bad Left Hook
"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
Wow, Hope's corner is still telling him to do the overhand right.
But Benavidez keeps dodging it.
Benavidez-Hope R5
Drakulich looking to stop this at about halfway into the round — and he finally does. Good stoppage. No reason to keep going.
Jose Benavidez Jr TKO-5
Bad Left Hook
"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
definitely agree
He’s got offense and firepower to spare already. Now he needs that defense. He’s got a team that can get him there, too.
Bad Left Hook
"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
no way man
That’s a huge fight.
Please, go ahead.

According to boxingscene
Holyfield got a stoppage in the 10th. Not good for those of us hoping for his retirement.
Well, that’s what I expected. As I said on the podcast, Nielsen always sucked.
Bad Left Hook
"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
Yeah, I agree...
I just wish he would somehow see the light soon. By the way, I really enjoyed the podcast.
up next
Rodel Mayol (27-5-2, 21 KO) vs Javier Gallo (17-3-1, 9 KO)
Bad Left Hook
"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
Wow. It would have been far easier to just have Ines and Arce just speak Spanish and subtitle/translate it.

"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
This is like the most laborious interview I’ve ever sat through.
Bad Left Hook
"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
I recently suggested that networks have consistent ring card girls for their shows and give them quick mentions and then get them in Maxim and the like, sell a brand name. I may have just changed my mind.

Is Gallo just an opponent? or will this be competitive (in your humble opinion of course)
by Nonpariel Barry Punchbag on May 7, 2011 8:08 PM EDT up reply actions
Don’t know, to be perfectly honest. Haven’t seen enough of Gallo to say.

"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
hey that's not Ray Narh
Don’t lie to me, graphic.

Mayol-Gallo R1
Gallo trying to pressure but not really finding much but gloves in the first minute. Mayol lands, Gallo lands back. Right by Gallo. Gallo now pressuring more effectively as the round wears on, with Mayol trying to counter and letting Gallo get more open looks. Mayol shoots an uppercut and misses, but lands a left hook after.
Gallo 10-9
Bad Left Hook
"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
Mayol-Gallo R2
Gallo still doing better work. Mayol just doesn’t look totally with it so far, at least offensively. No consistent attack. Left from Mayol. Mayol now turning it up a bit in the second half of the round, but Gallo just staying right on him. Two little uppercuts inside by Gallo. Pretty decent fight so far, and seems like it’s ready to really pick up in the third round as both start to warm up.
Gallo 10-9
Gallo 20-18
Bad Left Hook
"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
Mayol-Gallo R3
Nice exchange in the center of the ring. Mayol starting to land the hard blows with that uppercut. Uppercuts from both. Mayol looking to use his head. And he starts to use it! Yeah! Fun round.
Mayol 10-9
Gallo 29-28
Bad Left Hook
"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
Mayol-Gallo R4
And now they spend the opening of this round ignoring the fight for a useless Bob Arum interview. Goddamn it. Lame. Lame, lame, lame. They orta build a statue of Pacquiao. Best fighter ever. Blah blah blah.
Thanks, Top Rank. Totally interesting stuff. I’m totally convinced to buy this one.
And in the background they’re really trading.

"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
That’s nice to just totally ignore a fight you were showing people.

Ines Sainz says that Pacquiao vs Mosley could devolve into two old chums laughing. IF WE’RE LUCKY!!!!!!!!

That’s where we’ll be next.
