    It is too bad he couldn't figure out a way to stop eating left hooks from Ward. I hope they can put together a fight with Bute for Ward, or one of the other top Super Middles soon.

    I really want to see Bute fight Kessler. I really think that would be a great fight.

    Carl Froch will now fight Bute next. I just read this after I made my last post. It is a two fight deal. They are first going to fight in Montreal in April.

    Floyd Mayweather was sentenced to 90 days in jail for a domestic violence charge, which he plead guilty to. He will get credit for three days already served, so it will end up being 87 days that he has to serve. The sentence starts January 6, 2012.

    Ward has multiple fractures in his left hand and will be out of action for a while. It looks a little bad from the picture.

    That will keep him out for awhile. I'm interested to see the Shobox card next week, with Taylor, Dirrell, and the 3rd guy whose name escapes me at the moment. I'm guess Taylor is probably shot at this point, but you never know. I don't like watching Dirrell fight, but he is talented.

    Andre Dirrell hasn't fought since he got cheap shotted by Abraham, I believe. He was really messed up in the interview after that fight. I hope he is all better now. I felt bad for him after that fight.

    Taylor does seem shot at this point. He got KOed pretty bad in the first phase of the Super Six tournament. I think there is less hope for Taylor than there is for Dirrell.

    I am really excited for next Friday's ShoBox event. It will be a lot bigger than the average ShoBox event.

    Caught this on HBO's best of 2011 they have been airing. Khan was pushing a little, but i don't think it was enough to merit point 2 point deductions. You rarely see that called. Good fight though, but Khann was stronger in the last half of the fight and deserved to win.

    Thought Khan was going to move up to Welterweight division, but maybe he'll want a rematch with Peterson first. Good fighter

    Re: ****The Official Boxing Thread****

    The weight for Friday's event on Showtime are as follows.

    Jermain Taylor 161 pounds

    Jessie Nicklow 159 pounds


    Andre Dirrell 169 pounds

    Daryl Cunningham 167.5 pounds


    I think there will be a lot of television worth watching Friday night. There is the bowl game, the UFC event and the boxing event. My DVR will be busy.

    I am happy that Taylor decided to move down in weight class. He got beat up pretty bad in his last two fights.

    I think this will be a really good event tonight. The replay is at 1:00am (Oklahoma time) on Showtime West for those that will be watching the game.

    I thought both Dirrell and Taylor looked impressive in their comeback fights.

    Re: ****The Official Boxing Thread****

    I was real impressed with Dirrell. I got kind of bored with Taylor jabbing Nicklow in the face over and over, but if his right hand was hurt, I suppose that explains a bunch.

    Dyah Davis is fighting Alfonso Lopez on ESPN2 on Friday Night Fights tonight at 8:00. At 10:00 tonight Raymundo Beltran is fighting Luis Ramos Jr. on ShoBox on Showtime. All times are Oklahoma times.

    Davis looked really good in his fight. Lopez did not present much a challenge during the fight.

    The fight between Beltran and Ramos was very competitive. Ramos won the decision, but I still thought it was a good fight.

    Re: ****The Official Boxing Thread****

    Lets hope there is something to this and it's not just posturing by Floyd. Would be a huge payday for both guys and Floyd is most definitely needing the money despite his gambling winnings, and after he gets out of jail of course.

    http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id...cquiao-5-fight

    Floyd Mayweather Jr. could not be any clearer about the opponent he wants to fight on May 5 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

    Mayweather wants Manny Pacquiao -- at least, if you are to believe his tweets on Tuesday afternoon.

    Several hours after tweeting a photo of a betting slip from a Las Vegas casino for a $400,000 win on Monday night's Allstate BCS Championship Game, Mayweather sent out two tweets calling out and antagonizing Pacquiao.

    "Manny Pacquiao I'm calling you out let's fight May 5th and give the world what they want to see," read Mayweather's first tweet.

    One minute later, Mayweather followed with this: "My Jail Sentence was pushed back because the date was locked in. Step up Punk."

    Pacquiao's promoter, Top Rank's Bob Arum, told The Los Angeles Times that Pacquiao will fight Mayweather, but not on May 5.

    "June 9 is perfect," Arum told The Times from The Philippines where he is meeting with Pacquiao to talk about his next opponent. "May 5 is out, that's impossible."

    Mayweather's upcoming jail sentence however, complicates the issue.

    Mayweather was due to report to the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas last Friday to begin an 87-day sentence. He pleaded guilty to a reduced battery domestic violence charge and no contest to two harassment charges, stemming from a hair-pulling, punching and arm-twisting argument with his ex-girlfriend in front of two of their children.

    However, Mayweather's attorney successfully argued that the sentence should be delayed until June 1 so he could fulfill a contractual obligation for a fight at the MGM Grand, which he estimated would pour more than $100 million into the ailing Las Vegas economy.

    Arum told The Times that he would be "willing to chip in for lawyers' fees" to get Mayweather's report date moved to allow the fight to happen on June 9.

    Leonard Ellerbe, one of Mayweather's advisers, told ESPN.com that Mayweather was serious about calling out Pacquiao.

    "You heard him," Ellerbe said, noting that Mayweather is personally responsible for the content of the tweets sent from his verified account.

    So Mayweather is now free until June 1 and intends to fight May 5. However, he is without a dance partner.

    The two names most often mentioned as potential opponents are junior middleweight titlist Saul "Canelo" Alvarez -- who is one division above Mayweather, the welterweight titlist -- and lightweight Robert Guerrero, who is two divisions below.

    Alvarez and Guerrero are being named as likely opponents because they would be fairly easy deals to make. They are both promoted by Golden Boy, which has served as Mayweather's de facto promoter in recent years, promoting his last five bouts even though they do not have a formal promotional contract.

    However, a fight between Mayweather and fellow welterweight champion and pound-for-pound star Pacquiao looms as the biggest fight in the sport -- and likely the richest fight in boxing history. There seems to be no legitimate impediment to making the match for May 5, Arum has not seemed interested previously.

    When Mayweather was supposed to go to jail last week, Arum talked about Pacquiao fighting on May 5 to take the spot of Mayweather. The next day, when Mayweather's sentence was delayed, Arum said Pacquiao would probably have to fight in June, blaming that on a cut Pacquiao suffered in his November majority decision win against Juan Manuel Marquez as the reason -- even though a cut taking more than six months to heal is unheard of.

    Arum's list of possible opponents for Pacquiao did not include Mayweather. Rather, it includes a rematch with junior middleweight titlist Miguel Cotto, whom Pacquiao stopped in the 12th round of a 2009 welterweight title bout; Marquez, for a fourth time; or a fight with junior welterweight titleholders Lamont Peterson or Timothy Bradley Jr.

    After Mayweather's sentence was delayed, Arum said he was not interested in talking to Pacquiao about fighting Mayweather in May.

    "We're fighting in June, one of the four guys," Arum told ESPN.com last week. "My mission is to go over to the Philippines and talk about these four guys. If Manny feels he wants to go in May, he will tell me. I want to make sure Manny's cuts are healed. We won't fall under this kind of pressure. June is much more likely for Manny's fight, not May."

    Arum also said he was concerned that Mayweather might not be licensed by the Nevada State Athletic Commission with a conviction hanging over his head and jail time slated for June.

    "I don't even know if Mayweather will be licensed before he serves his time," Arum said.

    Although Mayweather is likely to be ordered to a hearing before the commission because of his conviction before it will license him for a May 5 fight, it is likely the commission will license him. After all, the judge in Mayweather's criminal case was swayed by the economic impact of a Mayweather fight on the Las Vegas economy as one of the reasons for the delay. It is hard to imagine the commission, all political appointees, denying Mayweather a license for a fight that would bring the local economy millions of dollars.
