Don King, on Mike Tyson


"Why would anyone expect him to come out smarter?
He went to prison, not to Princeton."



"To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music
and the dancers hit each other."

Marquez beats Manny and again is robbed of the decision!

Marquez only man to beat Pacman twice yet shows up as losing both matches.  Could he get less luck against Mr. Moneybags.

Boxing-'Pacman' answers nervous Filipino prayers - Yahoo! Eurosport:

Even Manny's countrymen and his stablemate Amir Khan were thinking "bad decision"


Filipinos prayed and nervously waited until eight division boxing champion Manny Pacquiao was declared winner over Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez in Las Vegas on Sunday, retaining his WBO welterweight title.

Filipinos in cinemas, hotels, public parks and even army bases across the Philippines erupted after the majority decision but many were unconvinced of Pacquiao's latest ring victory.

Pacquiao, a congressman and widely regarded as the world's best pound-for-pound fighter, won by majority decision over Marquez.


Filippino Fan: The best an ardent fan and countryman could hope for:
"I really prayed hard before the decision was announced," Gertrudes Posadas, 50, said. "I was saying the rosary and was asking for a draw."
