He...I'm really hoping for a big De La Hoya win. He's given so many big fight over the years. Even though he talks of retirement, I keep hoping for a few more. I watched part of the Williams fight but it was more of mismatch than the Timberwolves/Nuggets game I had just got back from viewing. Friday night Sioux Falls, SD had a 10 fight card featuring amateurs & pros but ended up having no quality fights. In the main event Joey Abell was disqualified for hitting oppenent while he was kneeling. A disappointing evening for the $40 GA ticket price.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29090025.post-32887983457695318872008-11-30T14:27:00.000-07:002008-11-30T14:27:00.000-07:00John -- I hope you're right about De La Hoya/Pacqu...John -- I hope you're right about De La Hoya/Pacquiao -- if that fight lives up to the billing, it will be a lot of fun to watch. I'm just worried. We'll find out next weekend!JSThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12207754797909843134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29090025.post-8272830997267209502008-11-30T13:48:00.000-07:002008-11-30T13:48:00.000-07:00Arreola is pretty good. He needs to live up to hi...Arreola is pretty good. He needs to live up to his long-standing promise to trim down, ideally to ~235 or so. If he does that, and improves his defense a bit, he's a legit contender for sure. While he's a bit plodding with the feet, his hand speed is surprisingly good and the punches are short and accurate. At 27 Arreola is young for a HW, too. <BR/><BR/>So far as Williams, it would really be a shame, to put it mildly, if there was no rematch with Margarito. The holdup appears to be on Margarito's end, so the best thing Williams can do is increase his popularity (and thus add more $$$ to a potential rematch). But I understand why no one wants to fight the guy... he's a freak of nature.<BR/><BR/>I disagree on the De La Hoya v. Pacquiao fight- I think Manny has a chance to outwork him, while avoiding big shots. The Froch-Pascal fight is interesting but I have a feeling Froch will win pretty easily.JWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05530976124095073877noreply@blogger.com
