http://au.rd.yahoo.com/search/rss/Danny ... tID=148843 Roy Jones jr says he will fight outside the US for the first time in his professional carrier against Aussie fighter Danny Green. A big ask for Danny IMO but who knows, maybe he can pull it off

Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto will fight for the WBA welterweight title tomorrow morning (Thai time Sunday, 15 November). I believe the bout will be shown on both Home Cable and True Vision channels. I think the preliminary bouts will begin around 08:30 and the main event probably sometime between 10:00 and 11:00.

Well, apparently the fight is not being televised on True Vison, but can be seen on Home Cable channel 53.

South African Super Sport 2 and Thai Channel 7.

1-1.

6-2.

9-2.

All over, never really a contest after round 2.
Pak Man a real class act.

The knockdowns in Rounds 3 & 4 took a lot out of Cotto. A great performance from the Pacman.

Floyd Mayweather vs Pacman has to be in the cards. Floyd would be the favorite, especially if fought in Vegas, but Manny will have a lot of supporters, Filipinos and Americans.

Thanks for the tips on Thai TV channels that carried the fight. Not one that I wanted to miss.

I was looking forward to it as well PH. I thought it would be a real contest with Cotto the stronger and harder puncher (as he is a natural at this weight) against a quicker & better boxer. As it turned out Cotto seemed to hold no advantages. I think I was maybe a little harsh against Hatton in his match, I think more credit should have been given by me to the winner.
I don't envy anyone who takes him on at the moment. Cotto can hit a bit but his punches seemed to have zero impact.
Mayweather would be an intriguing fight. Normally he has had the edge in speed & class - not sure if that would be the case now...

Good assessment, Bob. I also thought Hatton, De La Hoya and now Cotto would be stronger and heavier punchers than Pacquiao. I'm gonna have to stop underrating this little big man.

Today is the day....Danny Green V Roy Jones Jr at 6pm your time...Go the "Green Machine"

Wonder if this one will be televised via satellite? Streaming video on pc won't work for me. Guess I can try to avoid all mention of the result and look for it on one of the torrent sites tomorrow.

Roy Jones was solid in his last bout but so was Danny Green. Hope Green doesn't go into this bout with too much "respect" for Jones. Never have liked the ring posturing by Jones.

Don't think he will go in with too much respect, but I hope he doesn't go in all cocky either http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/sport/ ... ays-green/

Danny by TKO in the 1st.
