> Damn, Oscar is walking around 146lbs, I guess They Norwood record was 26-10-2, 13 KOs, my bad.

He might as well have 1002 losses. He stands about the same chance of winning either way.

I guess but I'm not sure I buy this. If its true then their goes what little and I mean little chance Manny has in this fight. If Oscar gets fighter of the year for beating Manny I'll puke.

Damn, Oscar is walking around 146lbs, I guess it's safe to say he's not BS'n around with the Pacman. I have to give him props for that-he's already under the contract weight and the fight is what another couple of weeks. All fighters should follow suit, I just hate to see fighters still trying to make weight the day before or even worst on fight night.

Fightnews has Norwoods record as 26-10-2. I think Mann was the one with the typo.

Former world champion Glen Johnson (47-12-2, 32 KOs) and opponent Aaron Norwood (26-10-2, 13 KOs) face off at today's "Bad Boys Of Boxing" press conference at the Seminole Paradise in Hollywood, Florida. Middleweight prospect James McGirt Jr. (19-1, 9 KOs) faces Marcus Upshaw (8-3, 3 KOs) in the co-feature. Super middleweight star Edison Miranda was forced to pull out of his scheduled fight due to illness.

Mann-It's a typo. Norwood's record is slightly better. Damn, that would be a hell of a record. 'LoL

Aaron Norwood, ( 26-1002, 13 kos) I read this on fightnews.com. Glen Johnson takes a stay busy fight to a whole nother level. Glen is a world class fighter and I just can't believe there was no better fight out there 4 him than this boot leg selling ham & egg fighter. This shit is crazy

Check this out-Glen Johnson's next opponent looks like this (26-1002, 13 kos) no BS. His opponents name is Aaron Norwood-his record is worst than Glass Joe's from Mike Tyson's punch out-DAMN.

That was an ugly cut above Jones left eye. Jones corner had to consult with the ring doctor, several times to stop the bleeding. Apparently, Jones corner weren't able to stop the bleeding between rds. It wasn't until the ring doctor became involved, that the bleeding finally was kept under control. That was the first time, that I've watch a doctor help a corner with their fighter. Normally, that's a job for the cutman. I always thought , that a ringside doctor was present for the purpose of assessing, whether a fighter is able to continue the fight or administer first aid. It was unusual.

Bronchitis with limited knowledge is the best excuse I've ever heard in boxing -I believe Pav he's an honorable man and I understand in which way he is.

Do you think Pacquiao is on steroids?
Watching Pacquiao carry his power to the higher weight classes has me wondering is he is juicing. Being a personal trainer I know that it is very difficult to move up in weight and stay ripped. The Phillipines and Indosia are two of the biggest markets for steroids.
