Photo: Manny Pacquiao pulls away from the LAX airport following his arrival from the Philippines, Saturday night in Los Angeles.

After Donaire defends his two bantam belts against Omar Narvaez, Oct. 22 in New York [...]

Roman Gonzalez, pictured above with former champ, fellow countryman Ricardo Mayorga was one of the fighters who made weight at today’s event in Las Vegas.

With little ill will and drama between main eventers Rafael Marquez and Toshiaki Nishioka, today’s presser at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas might’ve been called the Johnny Tapia and Ricardo Mayorga show. Quote of the day? While sitting down with “Mi Vida Loca,” Tapia looked over at Mayorga, laughed, and said, “He’s a loon.” [...]

Photographers pray for anything to happen at a weigh-in – anything that goes beyond having to take a zillion shots of a bunch of guys in their undies. Of course, a shoving match, a face off with guys yelling things about the other’s mammas are welcome breaks. Today’s weigh-in, alas, might not have had anything [...]

Sixteen-and-a-half thousand fans weren’t the only ones dissatisfied with last night’s overhyped showdown between Manny Pacquiao and “Sugar” Shane Mosley . . . |more|
Alright, so Mosley ran and Pacquiao chased … but Paris Hilton showed up at the press conference, Kelly Pavlik was given ten rounds to show off his new tattoos (against another runner, but at least this one fought back) and Pier Olivier Cote leapt for the sky.
Stealing the show last night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas was Jorge “Travieso” Arce, who weathered a brutal knockdown and the young, hungry boxing skills of Wilfredo Vazquez, Jr. to score an 11th hour knockout in round 12.
First shots from last night’s fights at the MGM in Las Vegas:

Last night at the Mandalay Bay, Diego Magdaleno (19-0, 6 KOs) won by third round TKO over Gilberto Sanchez Leon (31-9-2, 11 KOs). On the undercard, [...]
