Former UFC Champion, Tim Sylvia, fought Ray Mercer on the Adrenaline 3 card this week­end in Alabama. I said fought, but that was totally the wrong word.  Just look at what happens..

LAS VEGAS – Round-by-round cov­er­age of pound-for-pound king­pin Manny Pacquiao’s wel­ter­weight vic­tory over Oscar De La Hoya. Pacquiao won via TKO when De La Hoya couldn’t answer the bell for the ninth round. (Yahoo!)

NEW YORK (AP)—If this was indeed his final fight, Joe Calzaghe left his fans on their feet beg­ging for more.

The pop­u­lar unde­feated Welshman over­came a first-round knock­down to beat Roy Jones Jr. in a bloody one-sided unan­i­mous deci­sion Saturday night, delight­ing a rau­cous crowd at Madison Square Garden in what Calzaghe claims will be his final bout.

Authorities had first unsuc­cess­fully tried to charge Johnson over his rela­tion­ship with a white woman who later became his wife. Read the rest of this entry »
