Sergio Mora might be working hard in preparations for his first title defense and rematch against Vernon Forrest for the WBC junior middleweight title but he understands there might be a whole lot more at stake.
You don’t want to miss what Sergio ‘the Latin Snake’ Mora had to say about a possible match up with Oscar and what he thinks of the Pacquiao-Delahoya fight that at the moment seems to be a done deal.

Hey Lois,
Quikproshine here. Man...your boss Marley...whoa... you read his article on De La Hoya-Pacquiao?. You need to set him straight boy. I still have associates in East L.A.. and they are pissed Oscar is going that route.
Cazares-Calderon, yes man. I got Cazares at 1:2 with a local book. Hopefully Cazares finds a way to run down Calderon this time. The dude has to not go headhunting so much. -- Richard
Richard – I cannot control or endorse Marley on his Pacquiao-De La Hoya thoughts. Honestly, I stopped readi.......Read Whole Article!

Oscar and Manny is a done deal for Dec. 6.
Love it, loathe it. don’t care? It’s time to take the Boxingconfidential.com Roll Call.
Come on, brothers and sisters, this Tension Convention is over and the Greatest Ring Circus Of All is on starting Thursday when Oscar makes it official on his international media conference call.
I told you so. I told you to follow the money like Oscar does, like Manny does and like Uncle Bob Arum always has.

Guzman-Campbell Looks Like Fistic Feast But Continues To Be Treated Like Junk Food!
Author: Michael Marley 8/27/2008
I’m starting to feel sorry for both Nate Campbell and Joan Guzman.
Just look at Wednesday afternoon as example of his potentially-sizzling bout between two real, certified champions has been treated like the proverbial redheaded stepchild.
First, Don King pr maven and former Reno resident Alan Hopper pumps out a breathless but typically well-written press release about how some car dealer pal of DK has been selected to sing the national anthem at the Sept. 13 Showtime televised bout at Biloxi’s Bea.......Read Whole Article!

White Gorilla Strolls Naked In Front Of Office If Oscar Names Tall Paul As Final Foe!
Author: Michael Marley 8/26/2008
Don’t you love the ignoramuses who keep egging Oscar de la Hoya on? I am talking about the mentally challenged who insist that, to really “man up” as the in vogue saying goes, ODLH must climb into the ring with Antonio Margarito. These people give a new meaning to “tonto,” meaning stupid and not a reference to the Lone Ranger’s kemo sabe sidekick.
Oscar is getting ready to ride off into the active fighter sunset, perhaps on Dec. 6, and he has made it more than clear that he is willing to battle Ma.......Read Whole Article!

Oscar, Just Let Us Know When You Have Signed The Contract And Scheduled The Presser
Author: Ricardo Lois 8/26/2008
According to reports, now alongside Manny Pacquiao, Shane Mosley, and Sergio Mora, WBO welterweight champion Paul Williams is being considered as an opponent for Oscar De La Hoya’s December 6 retirement party.
Cristian Mijares, the winner of Ivan Calderon-Hugo Cazares, and Riddick Bowe are also in the mix.
If these names do not pan out, De La Hoya might try to entice UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva to a true mixed martial arts match.
And if all else fails, The Golden Boy might lur.......Read Whole Article!
Joe Fight Fan Should Be Cheering, Not Jeering, Pacquiao's Fanatical Followers!
Author: Michael Marley 8/26/2008
Today’s lecture is not about Manny Pacquiao. It’s about his fanatics, er, I mean his fans which is a term derived from fanatics anyway.
I agree with those who believe that the majority of Megamanny followers are Johnny One Notes meaning not really boxing fans but rather followers of the Pinoy idol. Period, end of story.
But I say so what? I mean who the hell cares how these men and women got into the boxing tent? It took a pugilistic Pied Piper named Pacman to do that, then so be it. What boxing .......Read Whole Article!

John Ruiz Looking for Title Number Three Saturday Night
The Quiet Man Still In Our Midst
Author: Ricardo Lois 8/25/2008
If you were a boxing fan on March 2, 2003, the day after Roy Jones Junior befuddled John Ruiz to win the WBA heavyweight title, and I told you, “five years from now, Ruiz will be fighting in his 11th world title fight and for his third title,” it would have produced puzzling stares and possibly laughter.
Jones Junior, coming up from light heavyweight, out boxed and embarrassed the lumbering Ruiz over twelve rounds – breaking his nose en route. Not a ticket draw and possessing a less than fan friendly style of fig.......Read Whole Article!
It was such a farce that the Mongolian fighter Serdamba Purevdorj chose to bow out with an injury rather than go through the motions of trying and being robbed by China's Zou Shiming. Shiming who had already been given two gifts, one via accepted scoring against France's Nordine Oubaali, and another via a laughable shut out against Ireland's Paddy Barnes, was slated to win this, China's first gold medal in boxing, probably as soon as Beijing was awarded the right to host the games.

Arum Sees No Waves, No New Offer By De La Hoya As He Recharges On French Rivera!
Author: Michael Marley 8/23/2008
Globetrotter Bob Arum and his wife, Lovee, are sunning themselves and recharging their batteries on the French Rivera.
All is tranquil as the Top Rank honcho and his better half sip cocktails with tiny umbrellas. All is calming as they glance out at the pristine waters of the Mediterranean.
Not a troubling wave, nary a white cap, as far as the eye can see.
The azure sea is just as flat as the line of communication between Arum, representing Manny Pacquiao, and Golden Boy’s Richard Schaefer, Oscar .......Read Whole Article!

Ivan Calderon And Hugo Cazares Re-Kindle Rivalry One Year Later On August 30
Author: Ricardo Lois 8/23/2008
Much has already been written regarding a potential December to remember David versus Goliath encounter between Manny Pacquiao and Oscar De La Hoya. Next Saturday night in Bayamon, Puerto Rico, with little herald, boxing will have a highly competitive and intriguing bout between men with a significant discrepancy in size.
WBO junior flyweight titlist Ivan Calderon (31-0, 6 KOs) will rematch Mexican Hugo Cazares (24-6-1, 19 KOs) a year and five days after their first contest, a bout the Puerto Rican won via split decis.......Read Whole Article!
Rudel Obreja is now my new personal hero and not because he has uncovered something aware of which the public was not. Nope, almost since the start of Olympic boxing, almost every single sane news source has suggested, or as we did, claimed, that Olympic boxing was either corrupt, or incompetent.

Ricardo Mayorga Will Not Make Weight Against Shane Mosley
The Writing is on the Wall
Author: John Chavez 8/22/2008
The guy isn’t in boxing shape or even close to it.
Couldn’t you tell from the most recent press conference pictures for the September 27 bout between Shane Mosley and Ricardo Mayorga?
I’m not referring to the Pomona-raised fighter in Mosley but rather the Nicaraguan beer-swilling hooligan in Mayorga. The guy isn’t what most would consider as being morbidly obese but he’s well above the contracted weight of 154 pounds for a bout that’s realistically speaking one month away.

Joshua Clottey, IBF Champion, Everywhere Except On IBF's Own Web Site!
Author: Michael Marley 8/22/2008
Joshua Clottey thinks he is the IBF welterweight champion.
Clottey knows he beat Zab Judah for the IBF title which was vacated by Antonio Margarito. But living legend Johnny Bos brings something interesting to Boxingconfidential’s attention.
Most of the free world would agree that Clottey is the IBF strapholder. But not the official IBF web site.
According to the IBF web site, which notes that its rankings were updated this past Wednesday, the 147-pound title is VACANT.
