Finally...Wacko's back in the game after far to long of a hiatus...

I present to you...once again another installment of Wacko's Drunken Round by Rounds: The Cotto & Miranda Show!

Once again...it's on.

Saturday March the 3rd, should be the shoot out of all shoot outs as the card is loaded with Super Stars & full blown knockout artists!

It's time to pack our bags boys & girls as we load up to follow HBO all the way to Puerto for a few rounds of World Championship Boxing!

For many boxing fans this could be sorted out as a mega-card seeing as both the main event & undercard offers pounds of explosive action.

First up the undercard, if one actually wants to insult it by calling it what it is in appearance, is the return of hard hitting crowd pleaser Edison Miranda (27 wins, 1 loss, & 24 ko's) as he moves up in weight to take on heavy handed prospect Allan Green (23 wins, 0 losses, & 16 ko's) in a ten-round super middleweight fight.

After totally destroying Willie Gibbs in a vicious first round knockout last December on "Boxing After Dark", Miranda has set the bar rather high for himself. Fans are begining to lable Miranda as the dark horse of the middle weight division. Many say that he's the hardest-hitting fighter pound-for-pound from 160lbs to 175lbs & that he could easily rule all of the above with his show stopping, jaw dropping power. Out of his 24 stoppages, seventeen of them came in the first round & that my friends is damned impressive. The question will now be: Can he do the same thing in the super middleweight division? Can he rock & shock all the rest?

Saturday night will be a good barometer for Miranda's pressure and future place among the elite fighters of 160lbs to 175lbs. Personally, I'd rather see him stay at 160lbs than move up to 175lbs...there's plenty to do at 160 & 168.

As for the evening's main event, welterweight champion Miguel Cotto (28 fights with 0 losses & 23 ko's) faces off against Oktay Urkal (38 wins with 3 losses & 12 ko's) in what I expect to be a short and brutual attempt at a 12 round welterweight title defence. In December 2006, Cotto's Welterweight debut Cotto pretty much destroyed the highly regarded & undefeated prospect Carlos Quintana. Quintana was looked on as a fast rising star, but Cotto outshined him for the duration of the match.

If Cotto can pull out all the stops again there are a handful of possible mega-fights on the horizon such as a match against Judah or Margarito.

Standing in the way of Cotto's stardom is Germany's Oktay Urkal. Urkal is a savy 11 year veteran with a pedigree that just fell short against some of the best light welters of the game. Urkal lost to Kostya Tszyu & Vivian Harris, no shame in that...but if he falls under Cotto's fist...he might lose all credibility.

Things have finally slowed a bit on my end...so I should be back in business soon.

I've missed you guys...so let's break out the chips & salsa & your poison of choice on this one...once again...it's fight night on HBO's World Championship Boxing!

Cheers & koneecheewah bitches!
