The undercard is a good fight also.
I probably will cave...
Thinking about it $75.00 here are you buying it?
Who is buying the fight.? Just curious
One big fight and one mega fight tonight. Garcia vs. Matthysse and of course Money Mayweather vs. Canelo
His addiction is one of excess and hubris
I guess so......I didn't know he had a problem. But the article says that he had an earlier stay in rehab that caused him to miss an earlier title fight.
He sure looks like hell in the pic at the top of the page.
I'm having a little trouble feeling sympathy. People with far less in terms of resources have found a way to deal with those problems.....I know more than a few. Not sayin' it's easy.
He must have really fallen off the wagon to go in before the fight....

Nice win by kiko Martinez....champ had no punching power to protect himself... 6 rd stoppage. It was a little quick but inevitable...
Berto is a bum....needs more gym time and less twitter...
Better 2nd round for Berto.....
Berto on Showtime....vs Karass...Berto hurt already...
Money Mayweather will fight Canelo Alvarez on 14 sept 13 followed by Tim Bradley vs, Manuel Marquez on 12 oct 13. I thought money may would make Canelo wait to his 6th and final fight...
Zab Judah going to get KOd sat....
Alvarez vs. Trout fight was pretty good.

The final end of the kronk era. Did not even know he was sick
He was top notch..
Re: Chavez and Martinez..Styles make fights..Martinez had the worst style possible for Chavez..Completely took away Chavez best weapon(left hook)..I predict Chavez comes back strong against any right handed fighter..
Some good fights on show time tonight....Maidana with a good win @ welterweight...
No..will wait for hbo next week...
No doubt 24/7 sets the stage for drama.....are you paying or the fight?
I have never even seen Chavez fight..Just suspect of the drama made for TV..
Let's see if it's for show or when it's time to dig deep if Jr has anything to fall back on. You sound like a fan. I am not a fan of Martinez but I do think he takes the sweet science more seriously....answer just around the corner....
Respect for the game is lacking<<<<<Thats the angle they played for the viewers..I'm not so sure..What exactly was disrespectful to the game? Training at an odd hour? training when he wanted to?
The upset would be interesting. Chavez's. Respect for the game is lacking....should be interesting view next week
Everyone picking Martinez over Chavez..Martinez win over Paul Williams a huge feat but Chavez has some pedigree..
As boxing would have it Showtime has a fight on tonight that may be very good as well..
Canelo Alvarez (No. 3) vs. Josesito Lopez (No. 8 welterweight)
12 Rounds - Junior middleweight division (for Alvarez's WBC title)
HBO PVV fight tonight..Based on how he looked on 24/7 alone Jr. should get his azz beat down tonight...Definitely not buying this one
Sergio Martinez (C, No. 4 P4P) vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (No. 3)
12 Rounds - Middleweight division (for RING, WBC titles)
Lots of fights on sat...

Two sad stories in boxing
Boxer Johnny Tapia's 'crazy life' ends:
(CNN) -- The crazy life of Johnny Tapia -- a five-time world champion boxer who once wrote that he had been "raised to fight to the death" -- ended this week at age 45.
"A family member came home, found him deceased and called us," Officer Robert Gibbs, an Albuquerque, New Mexico, police spokesman, said Monday.
Tapia's body was found Sunday night at his home in Albuquerque. Foul play is not suspected; an autopsy and toxicology tests will be carried out, Gibbs said.
In his autobiography, "Mi Vida Loca: The Crazy Life of Johnny Tapia," the fighter says that his father was murdered before he was born and that he was eight when he saw his mother murdered.
"She got stabbed 22 times with an ice pick and raped," he told "In This Corner With James Smith" in a 2004 interview.
Relatives raised him and he followed in the footsteps of his grandfather, who had himself been a boxer.
"I was raised as a pit bull," he wrote in the book, which was co-authored by Bettina Gilois. "Raised to fight to the death."
Tapia started boxing at age 9 and had his first amateur fight at 11. In 1988, he began is professional career, which was interrupted by bouts outside the ring with substance abuse followed by treatment in rehab centers.
"Four times I was declared dead. Four times they wanted to pull life support. And many more times I came close to dying.
"But I have lived and had it all. I have been wealthy and lost it all. I have been famous and infamous. Five times I was a world champion. You tell me. Am I lucky or unlucky?"
In 1990, he had just won a $1 million commercial for Pepsi when he "tested dirty and got kicked out," losing his boxing license, said his wife and manager, Teresa Tapia, in the same 2004 interview.
"That's when I met him," she said. "He was at his lowest, he was living on the streets. He did everything illegal that he could to make money. That was his life."
Fed up, she said, she locked him in her apartment, whose windows were covered with bars, and refused to let him out for six weeks while he broke free of the drugs' grip.
"All my goal is to see Johnny reach this ripe old age," she said. "I mean, I'll take him until 80 or 90 years old."
Tapia claimed two Golden Gloves awards in addition to professional titles in several weight classes.
