Cancún, Q.Roo., México.- El boxeador mexicano Humberto "Zorrita" Soto venció al brasileño Claudinei Lacerda por decisión unánime a 10 rounds en peso superligero, en la semifinal de "Profecía de Campeones" en la Arena Oasis.

Al finalizar los 10 asaltos, las tarjetas de los jueces sumaron calificaciones de 100-90, todas favorables al sinaloense que enfrentará en su siguiente combate al argentino Lucas Matthysse el 23 de junio en territorio estadounidense.

Ayer la promotora Top Rank dio a conocer las fechas de la gira de promoción que tendrán Manny Pacquiao y Timothy Bradley.

En el tour para promocionar la pelea pactada para el 9 de junio en el MGM Grand de Las Vegas, Nevada, visitarán dos ciudades: Los Ángeles y Nueva York.

Hace apenas unos días el boxeador mexicano Juan Manuel Márquez anunció su incursión en la política de mano del Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) al presentar su candidatura como posible legislador, ahora el Tribunal Electoral del Poder Judicial de la Federación ordenará una sanción más severa en su contra por utilizar el logotipo del partido en su pelea ante el filipino Manny Pacquiao y en la víspera de las elecciones en Michoacán

Pero las cosas no quedan ahí, Juan Manuel Márquez Méndez advirtió que si las autoridades electorales "quieren trancazos, los van a tener". autori

Kimbo Slice ganó fama mundial por sus peleas callejeras y su efímero paso por la MMA. Ahora incursionó al boxeo y lo hizo con aterrador nocaut.

Su oponente, James Wade, de 39 años de edad, apenas pisó el ring, escuchó la campanada y vio los puños de Slice, de 37 años de edad, quien apenas dejó que la pelea llegara a los 15 segundos del primer asalto.

Slice le acomodó tremendo golpe que dejó fuera de combate a Wade.

De inmediato el video comenzó a circular en la red, rememorando los días de gloria de Kimbo.

MIAMI.-- The relationship between Oscar De La Hoya and Bob Arum dates back to the 1990s. The 'Golden Boy' was promoted by Arum's Top Rank for more than a decade, but after a bitter falling out they've been through an emotional roller coaster. The story is long enough to write a book: De La Hoya vs. Arum / Arum vs. De La Hoya; Court Battles, Insults, Gossip and Twitter. Yes, Twitter!

Their animosity reached a fever pitch in 2000 when De La Hoya took Arum to court to break their contract. He succeeded, and it led to the birth of Golden Boy Promotions. But now things between them might be even worse. The enmity runs so deep that their promotional companies haven't worked together since May 2009 when Manny Pacquiao faced Ricky Hatton.

Listen to the interview


De La Hoya is very active in Twitter and in recent days Arum has been the target of some of his comments. Arum doesn't have a Twitter account.

Fanaticos.com talked to Arum to collect his impressions on De La Hoya's comments. We also tried to reach Oscar de la Hoya but his office responded that he was unavailable to talk about Bob Arum.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. stood up Manny Pacquiao and Top Rank this month, as he refused to agree to a fight with the Filipino icon and declared he would continue resting and vacationing away from the ring. As a result some fans might label him a "chicken". But it appears what Floyd is really interested in right now is gamecocks.

Mayweather spent some time in Puerto Rico this past weekend, where it was reported he would meet with current superwelter champion Miguel Cotto. But 'Money' May also took the opportunity to attend a local cockfight.

A video posted by You Been Blinded shows Floyd placing bets and cheering on a cockfight at the Club Gallístico of Puerto Rico, located in Isla Verde. Although cockfights are regulated and legal in Puerto Rico, they are illegal throughout the United States and a felony in 39 states.

We don't know if Floyd's chosen gamecock won. But it appears it at least put up a fight.

MIAMI.- The interview was scheduled for 1:15 PM. Precisely at that time, the phone rang: "Good afternoon. Sergio? I'm ready for the interview, how are you?"

That's Manny Pacquiao; punctual, respectful, humble. Somebody suggested that his punctuality is one more reason why Manny Pacquiao is Manny Pacquiao. And if we think about it, it's true. The humility displayed by this boxer is on par with any other of his formidable skills. It's impossible not to wish him well. His discipline goes far beyond the usual, and that's why he's boxing's 'Superman'.



"It's great," Pacquiao said to Fanáticos, referring to his perennial happiness. "I'm living a life I'm thankful for. I'm happy because God blessed me; not only with money and fame but with being able to support an entire country and the boxing community. I'm grateful and humble for it."

The Filipino they call 'Pacman' will face Joshua Clottey (35-3, 20 KOs) this Saturday, March 13th at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas, Texas, in a clash for the World Boxing Organization's welterweight (147 lbs.) title belt. The fight will be broadcast live in the US on 'HBO Pay Per View' at 9PM ET for $49.95.
