Two great matches tonight, both upsets (that I called, woo!).
Anyway, my friends and I have been watching a lot of fights recently and we always see these two twins come into the ring in like every fight but we can't figure out who they are. I can't really find any pictures but I'll keep looking. Anyone know who these guys are that somehow can get into every winner's circle?

Never underestimate the power of stupidity in numbers. ~War13104 Never stoop to the level of idiots. They will drag you down and beat you with experience.
Paul Williams going down is really depressing. Sad to see so much talent dry up.
And there are a lot of good match-ups I'm hoping to see but since Ortiz went down last night looks like Canelo needs a new opponent for his fight because doesn't he want to fight the same night as martinez/chavez?

i actually watched both fights but was too lazy to edit my post. i haven't been as into boxing as lately - not getting as hyped and whatnot - so i was really surprised by how good soto-matthyse was. (in hindsight it's like OF COURSE that fight would be awesome, but i hadn't been licking my chops at the prospect and it was nice that it caught me off guard.)
ortiz-lopez was great too; gotta love seeing an underdog beating the agenda of the promoters. also ortiz reestablishing his mentally weak persona out there... that jaw looked pretty gruesome though

no, he stopped fighting about a year and a half ago and started calling out mayweather with real ferocity (before mayweather announced the fight against ortiz), after he had to pull out of a fight against maidana on 8/28 last year... i haven't heard from him since, but he's fighting in a few weeks i think. many suspect it may be because his shoulder injury was really bad and now he might be looking for a big payday to cash in on what little he's got
as for ortiz, the berto fight is definitely the one on which he hangs his hat. that's really the fight that he can point to and say, 'i'm a warrior.' and now we know berto's a juicer too (though looking at ortiz's muscle gain, i wouldn't be surprised to find out about his juicing either...)

so this weekend the true heavyweight champion of the world is defending his title
*crickets chirp*
... and also the consensus best fighter in the world 122 pounds or under. yay! let's hope he pounds mathebula and makes fights against anselmo moreno, abner mares, toshiaka, etc though. his last few opponents have been more or less handpicked and not so great.

I finally watched Pacquiao/Bradley for myself and I can't believe I'm saying this but that was the right call. I had Bradley winning 115-113 as did two of my other friends (who watched it live and called it the worst decision they've ever seen). It's weird, we watched it with the sound off so we wouldn't be influenced by the commentary and statistics (it was pretty bad, they'd always show Pacquiao highlights even when Bradley won a round) and Letterman had it something ridiculous like the first 9 rounds to Pacquiao. It was a very close fight and a few could have gone either way but rounds 7-12 had Pacquiao either standing around or missing almost all of his punches. Watch it again if you have HBO on demand and turn the sound down. It was a lot closer than it looked.
I watched FNF and the only decent fight was Abdusalamov/Byarm, a solid heavyweight fight. Cruz/Fotuna was a bit disappointing.
