PacMan Defeats Cotto Nov. 14 @ MGM Grand Las Vegas

Manny Pacquiao “One of the best boxers I ever fought”

One of the most honest and exciting fights to come to the MGM Grand Arena in a long time was Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto. It was a true merit of heart and honor for both fighters. Manny Pacquiao won in a brutal 11 rounds before referee Kenny Bayless stepped in and stopped the fight within 55 seconds of the 12th round. Miguel Cotto refuse to throw in the towel, he stood strong through the entire time before crumbling to the mat. Both fighters carried their own strengths but Cotto’s strength was nothing compared to Pacquaio’s speed, it was at times overwhelming for Cotto during the fight.

Preliminary Bouts:

Yuri Foreman (28-0, 8KOs) from Isreal defeated Daniel Santos (32-4-1, 23KOs) by knocking him down one minute into the 11th round for the WBA super welterweight title.

Alfonso Gomez (21-4-2, 10KOs) and Jesus Soto-Karass (24-4-3, 16KOs) WBC Continental Americas welterweight title bout ended in more like a blood-bath. After a head butt in the third round over Gomez right eye, the tone of the fight was set. Gomez was bleeding so bad, it was uncontrollable after the fifth round. The ref stopped the fight 2:41 of the sixth round and judges gave Gomez unanimous decision.

Rodrigo Garcia (5-0, 4KOs) won a unanimous decision over Martin Vierra (5-3-1, 2KOs).

Eden Sonsona (14-3, 4KOs) defeated Eilon Kedem (9-2-4, 6KOs) in a swift second round TKO win.

Matt Koborov (8-0, 6KOs) took a sixth round defeat over James Winchester (10-3, 3KOs), even knocking Winchester’s mouth piece into the crowd in the third round.

Richie Mepranum (15-2-1, 3KOs) won a split decision against Ernie Marquez (9-6-2, 3KOs) and that didn’t sit well with anyone watching the fight.

Miguel Cotto’s cousin was another successful fighter on the card. Adner Cotto (5-0, 3KOs) remains undefeated by taking home a unanimous decision over Lupe Guzman (3-5).

Arturo Gatti Found Dead in Brazillian Hotel Room

Foul play suspected in Gatti's death
ESPN.com news services


SAO PAULO -- Former boxing champion Arturo Gatti, one of the most exciting fighters of his generation, was found dead in a hotel room in the posh seaside resort of Porto de Galihnas early Saturday.

Police investigator Edilson Alves told The Associated Press that the body of the former junior welterweight champ was discovered in his hotel room at the tourist resort, where Gatti had arrived on Friday with his Brazilian wife Amanda and 1-year-old son.

Alves said police were investigating and it was unclear how the 37-year-old Canadian died.

"It is still too early to say anything concrete, although it is all very strange," Alves said.

A spokeswoman for the state public safety department said Gatti's wife and son were unhurt. The women declined to give a name in keeping with department policy.
"There were no bullet or stab wounds on his body, but police did find blood stains on the floor," she said.

Gatti first captured the junior welterweight title in 1995, when he defeated Tracy Harris Patterson in Atlantic City, N.J. His brawling style and natural charisma made him a fan favorite, and he became one of New Jersey's adopted sons while fighting some of his most memorable battles on the Boardwalk.

"His entire boxing career he fought with us, we've known him since he was 17," Kathy Duva of promoter Main Events told The Associated Press. "It's just an unspeakable tragedy. I can't even find words. It's a horror."

Brazilian boxer and four-time world champion Acelino "Popo" Freitas told the G1 Web site of Brazil's largest television network Globo that he was a close friend of Gatti and his wife, and that he "knew they were having some sort of problem and were about to separate, but I didn't know they were in Brazil."

Francisco Assis, a local police investigator, told G1 that Gatti could have died up to eight hours before his body was found early Saturday.

Gatti won the United States Boxing Association junior lightweight title and International Boxing Federation's world junior lightweight title.

Gatti (40-9, 31 KOs) was best known for his all-action style, which was epitomized in his classic trilogy with Micky Ward in 2002 and 2003.

It's why Gatti was a fixture at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J., where he drew huge crowds and fought many times, including the final nine fights of his career.
In his first fight after the Ward trilogy -- which Gatti won 2-1 -- he captured a world title in his second division, outpointing Gianluca Branco for the vacant WBC junior welterweight title.

Gatti made two defenses before losing it to Floyd Mayweather Jr. via sixth-round TKO in June 2005. He returned to defeat Thomas Damgaard but lost his final two bouts, a ninth-round TKO in a challenge to then-welterweight champion Carlos Baldomir in July 2006 followed by a one-sided beating from former "Contender" star Alfonso Gomez in July 2007.

In the dressing room following the seventh-round knockout loss to Gomez, Gatti announced his retirement.

He had been working in real estate in Montreal following his retirement, but still attended fights, as he did in April for the Timothy Bradley-Kendall Holt junior welterweight unification bout at the Bell Centre in Montreal.

ESPN.com boxing writer Dan Rafael and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

2009 BET Awards Making History in the wake of Michael Jackson's Death

This years BET Awards turned out to be a history making event. Thursday June 25, 2009 we walked out of meetings, turned on blackberries, were driving in our car, or interrupted by a NEWS FLASH. Michael Jackson was rushed to the hospital and pronounced dead in an hour of arriving at UCLA Medical Center. Everyone around the world wanted to stop what they were doing and rush to the hospital.

Daily slashing and bashing in the streets of Iran, even that violence came to a halt for a second when they heard Michael Jackson had died. Michael's last interview was with Essence and he was scheduled to go on a 50 concert Tour starting in London in July. Now his entire life and death is a MYSTERY...!

Back to the BET Awards. They were very fortunate enough to be the first to give tribute and honor to Michael Jackson after his Final Curtain Call...! From the beginning to end it was Hot, you have to be from or love the west coast to understand. Baby Boy, New Edition and Bobby Brown, Tevin Campbell and Maxwell wrapping it up with all the ladies weak in the knees, I had no complaints.


Hate is very contageous. If you are optomistic and do not cast judgement regardless of what your views are then you have been vaccinated. There was some slack from viewers for the rushed show with people lined up for miles trying to get in and get a glimpse of the action. The media antics were even more rediculous. You should have seen the calls and rants from people wanting to buy, trade and sell credentials. All I can say is WOW, I can't believe they are still doing that. Following Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Yahoo and Google it's all relative. You either love or hate and it shows in their reviews. If you don't believe me just watch and read the news instead of videos and listening to ipods and texting all day.

Similar to the Ronald McDonald House, Fisher House provides housing for military families so they can be with their loved ones during hospitalization. With a March-April promotion in place at nearly 200 Hy-Vee supermarket stores, a portion of the proceeds made from the sale of Joseph's eleven song CD, "I'm Coming Home," will go directly to Fisher House. Hy-Vee has included a $2 coupon for Joseph's military tribute CD in their monthly coupon book, which has a distribution of one million people. With a 40 second in-house commercial playing in many Hy-Vee store locations plus extensive promotional materials and display units to showcase the CD/DVD two pack, Joseph feels confident that Fisher House will experience increased revenue from this promotion.

David Joseph visiting the Brook Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas. Joseph gave away 100 DVD Players and several hundred DVD's to some of our nations most severely injured soldiers.

Joseph has always been passionate about his support for the military. After 80 performances at 40 military bases across the country and over 25,000 free DVD's distributed to the troops and their families, Joseph wanted to affect the lives of this community more directly. Fisher House provides comfort homes for injured or ill soldiers on major military bases and VA medical centers at no cost, enabling friends and families to be with their loved ones during treatment. It was clear to both Joseph and Hy-Vee that Fisher House was one of the best ways to contribute to the military community in a meaningful way.

"It was after a performance at the Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC), a trauma one facility in San Antonio, Texas, that I had the opportunity to meet some of our nation's most severely wounded heroes," says Joseph. "The experience had a deep, moving effect on me. BAMC showed me just how important it is for soldiers and their families to be together during the long road to recovery. Fisher House gives these folks exactly what they need and doesn't ask for a dime. I wanted to contribute to that beautiful gift and Hy-Vee was generous enough to work with me on this promotion."

Hy-Vee's $2 coupon can be redeemed as late as April 15, but Joseph will contribute proceeds indefinitely. More information about Joseph can be found at www.DavidJoseph.org.

Nine Inch Nails and Jane’s Addiction at Pearl

Nine Inch Nails and Jane’s Addiction to perform
at The Pearl Concert Theater

Monday, May 18, 2009, 8:00 p.m.

Tickets On-Sale - Saturday, March 21 at 1:00 p.m.

Tickets are $89, $129 and $154, plus any additional service fees

Rumors were put to rest earlier this year when Nine Inch Nails front-man Trent Reznor posted on his website that NIN would tour in 2009 with the reunited Jane’s Addiction. The first wave of the North American Tour includes a stop in Las Vegas at the intimate Pearl Concert Theater inside the Palms Casino Resort on Monday, May 18, 2009 at 8:00 p.m.

NIN, the most popular industrial name to make the cross-over to mainstream success, was created by front man Trent Reznor and has experienced success with fans and critics throughout the ’90s and 2000s.

Following the 1989 release of Pretty Hate Machine, Reznor, along with a backing band, began touring with acts like Skinny Puppy, the Jesus and Mary Chain and Peter Murphy. By touring with more rock acts versus industrial bands, NIN expanded their fan base quickly, even receiving airplay of “Down In It” in dance clubs, helping it to reach Billboard’s dance and modern rock charts. In 1991, NIN joined the inaugural Lollapalooza tour where the band first joined forces with Jane’s Addiction, that year’s headliners.

NIN’s second full-length release, The Downward Spiral (1994), was a concept album that brought fans a new sound and preceded the group performing at that year’s Woodstock anniversary. The double CD release The Fragile followed in 1999, debuting at #1. Touring and additional releases followed and in 2008 Reznor released an instrumental album Ghosts I-IV, followed several months later by The Slip which were both released on the Null Corporation independent label.

Fronted by charismatic lead singer Perry Farrell, alternative rockers Jane’s Addiction, with members Dave Navarro (guitar), Eric Avery (bass) and Stephen Perkins (drums) caused a stir in the mid-’80s with their blend of influenced rock. The group released the aptly-titled Nothing’s Shocking (1988) which spent 35 weeks on the charts. In 1990 the band’s follow up studio album Ritual de lo Habitual gave Jane’s Addiction commercial success, reaching Top 20 and gold status. Farrell went on to create Lollapalooza as mentioned above and headlined the festival as a farewell tour for Jane’s Addiction. After disbanding, members kept active, performing with other groups and creating side projects before reuniting several times in the ’90s and early 2000s, but never with the original lineup. Completing the tour line-up and reuniting for the first time with all four original members, Jane’s Addiction is set to hit the stage for this 2009 tour.

This event is presented by Andrew Hewitt and Live Nation. The Pearl Box Office is open from noon – 7 p.m. daily. Doors will open at 7:00 p.m. and show time is 8:00 p.m. The Pearl is home to Miller Lite Live, presented by Cricket Wireless and sponsored by Citi; for more information on upcoming concerts, please call 702-942-6888.
