Does George Lopez have promotional and kinship with Oscar? I swear he is in tons of promo shots save for a few.Wonder if he has a upcoming stand up routine inbound as well

[kingfrnk]

[Dizaster]

I've always thought it doesn't make sense why they have a bunch of other fighters crowding around at the weigh ins and in the ring before fights.. Officials, yes.. trainers/team, yes.. Promoters, yes. But just flashing around the celebs behind the weigh in pics is slightly gay... I can't think of the amount of times i've seen Hopkins big Noggin getting in amongst the action of other fighters... it annoys me frankly...

It should just be the Pac/Hoya show...

Its a bit sad if you ask me. Hopkins, Mosley and DLH trying to show "solidarity" at the weigh in. How gay is that?? Seen it too many times now. I can understand them wanting to see the fight but to go to the weigh in is a bit pointless. And Im getting a bit tired of Ricky wearing that hat too. It looks a bit silly.

I think the bigger question is..what is Roach staring at?



Whatever it is he seems amazed

De La Hoya did not train hard

First Posted 16:17:00 12/06/2008
LAS VEGAS, Nevada -- The Super Puncher who has trained with Oscar De La Hoya and has been calling out Manny Pacquiao just let a stinky little scoop seep out of Big Bear Camp: The Golden Boy may not have trained as hard as has been portrayed.

Edwin Valero, the knockout artist badly needing a big-time bout to cement his status as a rising boxing superstar, surprisingly picked Pacquiao to knock De La Hoya out in their “Dream Match” Saturday at the MGM Grand’s Garden Arena here.

And his reason is simple.

“Oscar doesn’t like to workout,” the Venezuelan basher revealed through an interpreter Friday after the official weigh-in of the year’s biggest boxing event. Valero said he saw clips of Pacquiao’s training camp and felt that the Filipino ring sensation put in more work for the coming welterweight slugfest.

“Oscar doesn’t like to run,” added the 27-year-old undefeated super featherweight. “Pacquiao is going to knock Oscar out.”

Valero had a front-row seat to De La Hoya’s training at the Big Bear camp in California. He was signed up to join Team Golden Boy to give the six-division champion a taste of what it feels like to go up against a hard-hitting southpaw.

Pacquiao tipped the scales at a surprising 142 lbs during Friday’s weigh-in, numbers that prodded American trainer Freddie Roach to take a close look at the scales when De La Hoya stepped on it.

De La Hoya came in at 145 lbs.

“I was surprised at my weight,” Pacquiao told journalists Friday night at his suite at The Hotel at Mandalay Bay. “Before I went to the weigh-in, I checked my weight and came at 146 lbs.”

The undefeated Valero, whose 24 victories are all knockouts, including 19 in the first round, also revealed that De la Hoya’s pronouncement that he prepared as hard as he could for his welterweight showdown with Pacquiao is not the only uttered by the Golden Boy.

“I was the one who gave Oscar the black eye,” Valero said. “Ask him who did it.”

De La Hoya had earlier said in interviews that another sparring mate, Victor Ortiz, had given him the shiner. In fact, during Wednesday’s press conference, De La Hoya even thanked Ortiz for the black eye; saying it jolted him to the realization that he had to put in more work for the fight.

“He’s lying,” Valero said. “I got kicked out of Big Bear because of that. I only sparred with Oscar for eight rounds because after those eight rounds, Oscar didn’t want to spar with me anymore.”

“I hurt Oscar a lot.”

Valero still hopes he can earn a shot at Pacquiao even at the light welterweight ranks where the Gen. Santos City native vows to end his career.

“I’ve been waiting for years for (a fight with) Pacquiao,” Valero said. “I’ll fight him at 140 lbs if he wants.”

Pacquiao has said he is eyeing Ricky Hatton as a next possible foe after De La Hoya and that he intends to fight just two more times after Saturday’s “Dream Match.”

Pacquiao weirded by weigh-in difference


12/06/2008 | 05:34 PM
MANILA, Philippines - Manny Pacquiao was sure he was at 146 pounds for the final weigh-in.

So it surprised him to see he came out four pounds lighter.

Pacquiao tipped the scales at 142 pounds, way off the weight he and his team were expecting.

"Yes, a little bit of a surprise. Seems the scale got calibrated," Freddie Roach told Manila-based journalists inside the press room on Friday after the weigh-in.

Shortly after the weigh-in, Pacquiao went back to his room and used a different scale. He came in at 145.5 pounds, the same weight he had in the morning after breakfast, according to Roach.

Pacquiao was amazed at the difference, disclosing the night before and just an hour before the official weigh-in that he both checked in at 146 pounds.

"I didn't do anything to reduce weight, so I don't know why I came in at 142?" Pacquiao said. "It's hard to be suspicious but as you can see, there's a difference between how I weighed out there and here."

Pacquiao said if there was a four-pound difference between his two "weigh-ins", it could be the same for de la Hoya. "So does that mean Oscar was at 149 pounds?"

A clause in the contracts signed by both Pacquiao and de la Hoya will have de la Hoya paying a $3-million penalty for every excess pound over 147 pounds.

Pacquiao said he didn't want to make a big deal out of the situation. "I don't want to make that an excuse for whatever happens."

Roach agreed.

"Maybe the scale … I'm not sure. But I'm not accusing anything (sic)," said Roach, who incidentally, also got a positive response from the Nevada State Athletic Commission later in the day, allowing the use of one-inch tape for the boxer's hands instead of two inches.

"But it really doesn't matter to me," he added. "The fight's on. The fight's here."
