Lacy to retire?
Saturday, July 26 2008
Former IBF super middleweight champion Jeff Lacy, expected to face former Olympic teammate Jermain Taylor on November 15, now says he's retiring. "There will be no fight between me and Jermain," Lacy told the Tampa Tribune. "I'm just retiring," he said. "I'm done. This business is dirty. That's all I have to say. This is a very dirty business. I would advise anyone who has kids not to ever let them fight in this business." Lacy (24-1, 17 KOs), who won a hard fought ten round majority decision over Epifiano Mendoza on Wednesday, did not go into specifics.

It's a classic:
Margarito KOs Cotto in 11!
Saturday, July 26 2008
Former champion Antonio Margarito (37-5, 27 KOs) regained the world welterweight title with a brilliant eleventh round knockout of previously unbeaten WBA champion Miguel Cotto (32-1, 26 KOs) on Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Cotto outboxed Margarito in round one, but the war was on in round two as both fighters connected with huge bombs. Margarito applied relentless pressure over the next few rounds, but Cotto, boxing beautifully, landed the cleaner blows. Margarito turned things around in the seventh, finally hurting Cotto and punishing the champion. Cotto tried to regroup in the eighth, but Margarito got to him again late in the round. Cotto seemed to win the ninth and most of the tenth, but got rocked at the end of the round. Margarito battered Cotto in the eleveth and Cotto took a knee twice before his corner threw in the towel. Time was 2:05.

Amazing fight! Not the biggest boxing fan, but I was on the edge of my seat for all 11 rounds (especially after the first two). I really didn't know much about these guys, but I was rooting for the Mexicano...

That was one hell of a fight! Surely the best fight of the year, for now. Does anyone think De La Hoya will step up to the plate now, against Margarito?

I knew that eventually cotto would get tired. all night long he would punch and run, punch and run, punch and run. inche human punching machine gave it to him.

if Margarito and DLH fight at dodger stadium it would be huge. As a matter a fact I think it will replace cotto/margarito fight as FOY 2008.
