I have no issues with this one. Both are past their best. Let them duel it out.

Saw mention of ESPN ppv version. Of course many already have ESPN ppv..it's called 3 channels on cable . Arum trying to scrape the marrow from the bone again. Not sure how big time difference will work out.

I have given up on Pac. Great career but it's over. Bob Arum is still not done milking all he can from this once great champion.

Manny finally cut ties with Roach . Hell is freezing over.

I think that is very uncool of Pac to cut off Roach like that. Roach helped to mold him into the fighter he became and that deserves a little loyalty.

[Spicoli]

He definitely blindsided him from what it sounds like. Has to be more to it.

Sounds like a battle of the aging achilles heels. Last time out, Matthysse looks dismal against a young kid who carried big at the weight and used his jab... Till he pulled a ko out of his @$$ .. that many people questioned whether or not the kid was taking a dive. I've always been a big fan of Matthysse and maybe there was a slight drop off as he got used to his new trainer, shook ring rust etc. but I think Lucas was slowly losing his passion for the sport before the postol loss. His chins probably not what it was before either.

Pac has always looked a tad predictable to me but the beauty of his style was that roach taught him how to punch in between his opponents punches. His last time out he showed little of that though he maintained his in and out footwork. He managed to get caught by a slow sloppy billy-goating horn who look to just weather the storm and bull him around the ring.

If this fight ever materialized i always saw pac just being too fast for Lucas to time. Now, he's probably still faster than Lucas expects him to be but very linear and easier to time. Pac doesn't have his pop, but Lucas doesn't have his chin. I think Roach was the key for Manny and the Key for Lucas is how bad he wants to keep this belt and whether or not him finally getting the title has renewed his passion. Based strictly on the location, its already leaning toward Manny and Lucas needs a knockout.
