By Sotoman: With only days left till the most anticipated boxing fight in the last 20 years, let us soak in the performances of two of the greatest boxers in our generation. On May 2, Manny “Pac-Man” Pacquiao will challenge the undefeated Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. with a lot more on the line then just belts: boxing immortality.
While many fans have their favorite fighter of the two, let me suggest to all that they should be a fan of both on this night. While Floyd fans or Manny fans may have bragging rights after the fight, the real winners will be those who hope for an explosive fight and get it.
By Sotoman: Lately, we have been reading articles where Floyd Mayweather Sr. is suggesting that Manny Pacquiao needs to fight specific individuals in order to land a fight with his son Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. Some of these boxers Manny needs to beat are: Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero, etc. There are several issues and obvious facts that come to light here.
By Sotoman: Last night, Curtis Steven’s fight was suppose to display why he was a dangerous opponent in the middleweight division and why he was being talked about as a challenger for Gennady Golovkin this fall. I must admit his one punch knock out of Saul Roman was flashy, but his prospects of pulling the same feat against GGG are very slim, here’s why:
By Sotoman: Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26 KO’s) is and will be recognized as one of the best fighters, if not best fighter of this generation in addition to quite possibly a top 10 of all time. On September 14th, many fans will be in for a great fight, but as many do prior to many of Mayweather’s fights, they will either predict his dominance or hope for his destruction. As many Floyd fans suggest “the haters will flock the building.”
By Sotoman: Last night was a tremendous night of boxing. The cards lived up to its name “Knockout Kings 2”. The each fight was full of excitement and grueling back and forth exchanges. there are several things we learned from yesterdays results.
By Sotoman: On Saturday June 29th, WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin made truly easy work of Mathew Macklin. For true boxing fans, the results were predetermined. I am not sure they though it would end in such style, but GGG did in 3 rounds what Sergio Martinez struggled to do in 11 rounds. Andre Ward made little to no mention about fighting GGG yet, and I highly doubt it will be soon. 
By Sotoman: Throughout the past few months we have been spoiled with great boxing thrillers, this weekend seems like one of those weekends of boxing that need more talking about. Lets see!

There is no doubt that Alexander’s stock dropped yesterday, despite the fact that Purdy failed to make weight. Although Purdy was not as impressive, he made Alexander look weak and ill accomplished. Purdy demonstrated and exposed Alexander’s lack of power. It is clear that Purdy was not going to win the fight on the score cards, but he had a heart of a lion.
