Personally, I have never really understood why people watch things like Wrestlemania. You aren’t watching a fight, you aren’t watching a wrestling match, you aren’t even watching a sport.

You are watching nothing more than a drama show.

That’s right, to me Wrestlemania etc are no more a “sport” than CSI, Boston Legal or Lost. So if you like watching them then thats fine, I like Boston Legal, but don’t try and tell me that its a sport or Wrestlemania fan’s are “sports fans”.

What I find even more annoying is (read more…)

On Sunday morning living boxing legend Manny Pacquiao a.k.a. “Pacman” met Juan Manuel Marquez at the Araneta Coliseum.

Marquez has challenged to world champion Pacman to another showdown in the ring.

What do you think of this match up? Personally I have great respect for Pacman, and I consider him the best pound for pound fighter around at the moment (read more…)

In a controversial decision, Juan Manuel Marquez claimed the WBC super featherweight title as he beat fellow Mexican Marco Antonio Barrera in Las Vegas.

I want to see a rematch…

Even though Barrera clearly knocked Marquez down in the seventh round with an awesome stinging right hand, the referee Jay Nady somehow ruled in a slip!?

No way was that a slip, it was a clear knock down and an excellent punch by Barrera.

And then the ref made me scream even louder in frustration as he took a point from Barrera for apparently hitting Marquez when he was down on the canvas. Although Barrera did throw a punch when Marquez was down, he did not connect and so he should not have be docked a point.

Also the referee did not pick up on any of the punch that Marquez threw well below Barrera’s belt! Where was the ref then?

Barrera said: “We fought like true Mexicans but I did the necessary things to win. They were bad judges. I won the fight and I don’t know what happened.”
He added, referring to his point deduction, “I never connected with the punch because I knew he was down. He hit me four times below the belt and I never said anything.”

By the end of the fight they both were bleeding quite badly, Marquez from the right eye and Barrera from the left. It was a great fight as both boxers gave it their full effort, but I would have thought that Barrera should have won.

Marquez is an ex-WBA and IBF featherweight champion and at least he admitted that they should meet again to settle the rivalry more conclusively.

“Barrera is a great champion,” he said. “He deserves a rematch.”

I really think that their should definitely be a rematch, as I think Barrera won that fight.
I would love to see these two fight again, but hopefully we can have a fairer decision at the end of the next fight.

What did you think of the fight?

Are you looking forward to a rematch?

It was a really great fight overall, and that should not be over shadowed by a few bad decisions by the ref. Both boxers gave it their all and both deserve a great deal of credit and respect for that.
