Source: LA Times Promoter Lou DiBella has won a World Boxing Council purse bid for the right to stage welterweight champion Andre Berto's next title defense against New York's Luis Collazo, the WBC announced on Monday. DiBella, who promotes Berto, told The Times the bout will occur on Jan. 17 at a site to be determined. The fight will be televised by HBO. DiBella won the bid for $675,000. Collazo's promoter, Don King, came in second at $427,000. Berto (23-0, 19 KO) is facing what should be a final "ladder step" opponent before he starts taking on the best in the 147-pound divisi...

I'm going to swat that Spanish Fly. How do you take a guy like Arce seriously? He sucks on lollipops and wears a cowboy hat from a toy store. He looks like "Woody" from the movie "Toy Story." I can picture him running around his house on a broom pretending he's riding a horse. He's a regular Schl... (original story)

It'll be interesting to see how many Filipino media members will be able to contain themselves on press row during the Manny Pacquiao-Oscar De La Hoya fight on Saturday night. If Pacman pulls off the upset will more than a few stand and applaud? Pacquiao is the biggest home sports icon the world knows. And papers like The Philippine Daily Inquirer aren't hiding their rooting interest. In the picture above, The Pacquaio Files features a scroll of well-wishers and several sponsors supporting the Pacquiao effort. It's no different in some British tabloids who cover Ricky Hatton.

De La Hoya doesn't deserve a statue at Staples

Who knew a bronze statue could evoke such anger? Before hitting the road for his Las Vegas fight against Manny Pacquiao, Oscar De La Hoya stopped by the Staples Center to witness a bronze statue of his likeness unveiled in the same vicinity as those given to Wayne Gretzky and Magic Johnson. The ceremony incensed Bill Plaschke from the L.A. Times. Plaschke writes that the statue is a slight to Laker greats like Jerry West and announcer Chick Hearn: Think of an athlete who is not affiliated with any Staples Center team. Think of an athlete who competed in the buildi... (original story)

The pitter-pat is gone. Paul Williams was criticized for too often being a points fighter. It's not the case anymore. He's pounded out three stoppages over Carlos Quintana, Andy Kolle and Verno Phillips. Big deal on the last two wins, right? Wrong. Williams (36-1, 27 KO) proved a point by fighting at middleweight and then beat Phillips at junior middleweight on Saturday night on HBO. He can fight anywhere from 147-to-160 pounds and he puts on a damn good show. Why can't he find a big fight? Why is Antonio Margarito, a man he beat in July of 2007, making $2 million...

Nothing terribly interesting, but it's nice that ESPN is bothering to talk boxing, and another feather in Oscar's cap, as he's apparently the only guy that can actually get himself on the network for more than a 10-second blip. (original story)
De La Hoya vs Pacquiao: A Superfight in Name Only
Posted from Fight Insight 1 day 15 hours ago
Boxing : Blogs
Yes, I said it. This fight is not a super fight. It is a spectacle being marketed as a superfight. The spectacle centers around the current pound-for-pound king Manny "Pac Man" Pacquiao (47-3, 35 KOs), who began his career fighting at a mere 106 pounds, facing off against "the Golden Boy" Oscar De La Hoya [...] (original story)

If all heavyweight bouts were like this you wouldn't hear people lamenting about the health of the sport. That said, if they were, fighter's careers would last about 10 fights.
