I guess we’ll never know (UPDATE)

December 9, 2008

I was actually quite interested to see if I’d get much response to the De La Hoya/Pacquiao fight, but unfortunately I’ll never know. I apologize to anyone that was wondering how to leave a comment on the blog item, but I guess something happened with the program used to leave comments. The tech guys are working on it, and we’ll try to have it back up and running ASAP.

If you missed the fight, which I did since I was at the UH/Cincinnati game, sounds like Pacquiao completely dominated the Golden Boy. I know the replay is being shown on HBO Saturday which I’ve already get set up on the DVR. If it’s as bad of a whuppin as I’ve read, maybe it’s time for the biggest draw in boxing to retire.

Also, two UFC events this week with local boys on the card. Brandon Wolff, who was involved in that unreal fight against Chad Reiner in X-1 in which he won the welterweight title, makes his UFC debut on Wednesday against undefeated Ben Saunders.

Then on Saturday, Shane Nelson fights on the Ultimate Fighter finale show against George Roop. Both fights will be shown on Spike TV.

UPDATE (12/11): Just to be clear, the UFC fight cards will be shown on Wed. and Sat., but it is not a sure thing that the fights involving local boys Brandon Wolff and Shane Nelson will be aired. They are prelim fights, so unless it’s a great fight, there’s a good chance they will not be shown.
