 OK. So, we are waiting for Manny Pacquiao to put on his gloves and walk out of the dressing room. Apparently, Mr. Pacquiao did not arrive to the arena until a few minutes ago and is granted extra time to stretch his calves. Bradley is throwing punches in the dressing room. Pacquiao is getting warmed up. Fight is coming, just don't know when... It feels like Pacquiao's rushing himself. He is throwing on the gloves as quick as possible. It feels weird, awkward. It's hard to tell. But guess what, Michael Buffer is doing his thing in the ring which means we are moments away! It's almost showtime!! Bradley is walking in the ring. Yes, we are ready! Both fighters are in the ring now. We are moments away! Round 1 Bradley is calm, using the jab to dictate the pace. Manny has not done much in the first two minutes and it seems like Bradley is controlling this... Read more...

 My friends, we are moments away from one of the biggest fights of 2012! Sergio Martinez attempts to recapture the middleweight championship from Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. The crowd is packed, pumped, and the fighters are ready to go. No more talk. It's time to dance! Round 1 Martinez starts the action, follows a jab with a left cross. Chavez hasn’t thrown a punch in the first minute. The fight is taking place in the center of the ring. Check that, Chavez hasn’t thrown a punch in the first ninety seconds. He finally throws a lazy left hook. This is Sergio’s round so far. Nothing of significance in this round besides jabs for Martinez, it’s his round, but Chavez is pacing well. Martinez 10-9 Round 2 Action picks up in round 2. Martinez hits Chavez with a jab, Chavez drops his hands as if to say - you didn’t hurt me - and attacks Martinez. Chavez is working... Read more...
