Mayweather gets another layup

The pound for pound list has Tim Bradley, Manny Pacquiao, Sergio Martinez all in and around Mayweather's weight class yet remarkably he picked a guy no where near this list to fight next.  Even Canelo went after Martinez after losing to Mayweather.  As good as his ability to dodge and avoid conflict is in the ring, it's even better outside the ring.  He is above the politics.  He can make fights but chooses to take his ball and go home.

Manny Pacquiao Tim Bradley most interesting fight this year

Pacquiao Bradley will be the most meaningful interesting fight of the year when it comes to pound for pound supremacy.  Given that all the other fights don't involve top 5 pound for pound guys.  Mayweather is not fighting a top guy (as usual), Sergio Martinez isn't,  Canelo isn't top ten himself and ain't fighting no one in that league, Marquez isn't either.  Once again Pacquiao refuses to fight no one but the absolute best.

Provodnikov, Mayfield and Alvarado win big

Danny Garcia's loss was a big win for Provodnikov, Mayfield and Alvarado who each did far better with Herrera.  This further accentuates some problems with Golden Boy and their fighters advisors / management trying to manufacture stars.  Sometimes those stars aren't actually that good.  For example, Top Rank fighters rank highly on pound for pound lists relative to Golden Boy fighters  which could become a problem eventually.  Garcia's win was a sham and unfortunate  for poor Herrera who is a solid talent.

Garcia gets gift decision over Herrera

Danny Garcia was given a gift decision in his home town.  Mauricio Herrera embarrassed Danny Garcia making him miss almost everything and smashing him for 12 rounds.  Dan Rafael was the only one I saw that didn't have Herrera winning.  He had it a draw (blindness).  Another boxing fix is complete.  Paulie called the fix on air.  Mauricio is amazing and deserves the rematch.

These blind decisions are ruining the sport.  More oversight is needed.
