Pacquiao - Cotto fight. FIXED? Rigged in advatage of Cotto? Bob Arum's deal?

This is my opinion and my opinion alone. And observation during, before and after the fight. It doesn't matter if you believe me or not. I just felt like I have to say something.


I believe that the fight was FIXED. But unlike other postings and other blogs that I saw. I believe the fight was fixed in favor of Miguel Cotto. Don't get me wrong. IT WASN'T FIX SO THAT PACQUIAO WILL WIN. But for Cotto to save face and his career. WHY? I'LL TELL YOU.

Miguel Cotto was one of the best in the business. I will give him that. No doubt about it. He's a good fighter with a very powerful punch. I'm a fan of boxing. And I pretty much watch the best boxers in the world. Not just Pacquiao. I watched Cotto's last few fights. And from what I saw. And like I always tells everyone. I'll say the same thing I said about the Pacquiao-Dela Hoya fight. Oscar Dela Hoya doesn't have a chance. And I know Cotto doesn't stand a chance with Pacquiao as well. And I'm not saying this because I'm Filipino and that I'm a big fan of Pacquiao. But I'm saying it because it's the truth. Don't get me wrong. I'm a big fan of Dela Hoya as well. And I grew up watching him. But Pacquiao retired him. And just like the Dela Hoya - Pacquiao fight. Pacquiao was letting up. He's preying Dela Hoya but every time Oscar is about to hit the canvas. Pacquiao will back up. You all saw that. No denying it. But I believe the reason why. Is because they are good friends and Oscar is a big part of Manny's success. However, this is not the same case with Cotto. WHY? because they are not friends.

Ok. This is the reason why I think it was fixed. Bob Arum doesn't want Pacquiao to fight Mayweather. Not just yet at least. WHY? "MONEY" Their are other good opponents for Pacquiao as well. But all the fans in the world is waiting for Pacquiao - Mayweather. Noting else. But then again. He decided to go with Cotto. When we all know that he doesn't stand a chance with Pacquiao. At least that's my opinion. But Bob Arum went with Cotto because he knows he'll make more money if he kept Pacquiao fighting. Because let's face it. If Pacquiao retires Mayweather. Who else is their to fight? And that's the reason why Arum doesn't want Pacquiao to fight Mayweather just yet.

Bob Arum is the promoter from Top Rank. Pacquiao and Cotto are both from Top Rank. And let's face it. Both Pacquiao and Cotto are Arum's "MONEY MAKER" or "PRICE FIGHTERS" fighter. As you all know. Boxing promoters gets a huge cut from every single fight his fighters had. And of course. If Pacquiao retires Cotto which should have happen. Then Arum will lose one of Top Ranks price fighter (Cotto). And you know damn well he will not let that happen. And let's face it. When Pacquiao retires Mayweather. Which mostly likely will happen. THERE IS NO ONE ELSE! unless he went up another rank. Which Pacquiao doesn't want to. And Roach doesn't want Pacquiao to do so as well.

If you follow Pacquiao's fight for a long time. You know how he fight. I've been watching Pacquiao fight since 1998. The first time I saw him fight was in the Philippines. I was on vacation at the time. And my uncles are watching the fight. I can't remember who he fought at the time. But he wasn't famous at the time yet. And ever since. He prey on his oponent. He still do. Only this time. He have gotten smarter. More precise, a lot stronger, more faster, more focus and of course. More powerful than ever. Specially with the new development of his right arm.

Now, this is the Pacquiao that I know. Every time he prey on his opponent. And once he got the opportunity. He just kept on following through with his punches until he made that last punch that will bring his opponent down. We all saw it from Barrera up to Hatton's fight with Manny. Like I said. He always prey on his opponent until. He just keep on punching until he land his knock out punch. And he's been doing this every since. You guys saw that from Pacquiao - Hatton's fight as well..

But that was not the case this time. Cotto got the first round. And that's cool. But I realized that Pacquiao is letting up after the second round. WHY? because Pacquiao was letting Cotto punch him. Then every time he got Cotto cornered and is about go hit the canvas. He will not follow thrrough with his punches. Which you all know he always do. The last Pacquiao fight that I saw him not following through with his punches was with Dela Hoya. But with Dela Hoya's fight. You could really tell doesn't wanna knock Oscar out because he was backing up every time Oscar is about to go down. But this time. He was just not following through on his punches.

Cotto went on his knees twice. And you all know that's already a sign of weakness . And when was the last time you all saw Pacquiao's opponent went down on his knees once or twice and still made it up to the last round? Better yet. NOT KNOCK HIS OPPONENT OUT? That fight would have been over before the 7th round or less. And you all know it.

Freddie Roach predicted that it's going end at 9th round in favor of Pacquiao. And honestly, since when is Roach wrong about the round he predicted? And it was unusual that he said 9 rounds. WHY? Because he usually say smaller numbers. Then here comes 10th round. All of a sudden. Pacquiao's fight is starting to go back to normal. He was fighting the same way he was fighting before. The only problem is. Cotto kept on running. Cotto it doing hit and run.

Miguel Cotto got a cut. I can't remember what round he started bleeding though. But anyways, he just kept on bleeding and his face was really getting f*cked up. And if you really follow boxing. A doctor would have check him out already. But know one did. It doesn't mean that the doctor will stop the fight. But at least. He/she will check the fight out if he is still able to fight. Then Cotto's father wanted to stop the fight. But he was persuade from stopping the fight (so they say).

Then here comes the last round. Cotto was still running away. Then all of a sudden. Everybody is talking about the referee trying to stop the fight. WHY? WHY NOW? Pacquiao landed more than half of Power Punches than Cotto on every single round. He got cornered Cotto on several occasion. The fight should have been stopped a few rounds earlier. And if you watch the last fight again. You will see that Pacquiao's last three punches didn't even landed except for one. The first punch landed on Cotto's arm. The second one was on Cotto's face. Which is not even a power punch. Then surprise, surprise.. The referee stopped the fight. That's why the third punch didn't even laded. DON'T BELIEVE ME? watch the 12 round again below.



For the longest time. I watch great fighters and amateur boxers on the ring. And I never saw the referee sopt the fight after one hit. And without the fighter being preyed and cornered. And of course, the fighter not being able to throw a punch or be able to fight anymore. Cotto was still running strong when he stopped the fight.

Cotto would have been knocked out or the fight would have been stopped earlier than that. And you all know it. Plus who in the right mind will bring their kid on your fight? Unless you know that your kid would not see you hit the canvas.

Then after that fight. When Manny was doing the interview. He said that he will leave every decision to Bob Arum. His Promoter.

My hypothesis:

Bob Arum made a deal with Pacquiao that he could only knock Cotto out after the 9th or 10th round.
WHY?
Because if Miguel Cotto get knocked out in less than 5 rounds. That's the end of his career.
WHY YOU ASK? Because who else would fight him? No one will think that he is no longer a worthy opponent. He'll lose fan base. And of course. That's millions of dollars lost on Bob Arum's pocket.

Second:
They are shooting for a Pacquiao - Cotto trilogy. Which means if theirs a second fight. Pacquiao will throw the fight. Which is what I'm a afraid off. Or their will just be a rematch and Pacquiao will win again. And most likely, it's going to be decision as well or another TKO. WHY? Do I really have to tell you? It's more money on Bob Arum's pocket!!! He just can't let Cotto retire.

The way I see it. It's all about Cotto saving face and Bob Arum's fat ass wallet.
Because even if theirs no longer a rematch of the fight. And Pacquiao will go to his next opponent. In my opinion. They still FIXED the fight in favor of Cotto. Because like I said. Cotto's fight are money on Bob Arum's pocket.

The World Has Lost a Remarkable Innovator and Musician: Les Paul Passes Away at 94

New York, NY...August 13, 2009...Les Paul, acclaimed guitar player, entertainer and inventor, passed away today from complications of severe pneumonia at White Plains Hospital in White Plains, New York, surrounded by family and loved ones. He had been receiving the best available treatment through this final battle and in keeping with his persona, he showed incredible strength, tenacity and courage. The family would like to express their heartfelt thanks for the thoughts and prayers from his dear friends and fans. Les Paul was 94.

One of the foremost influences on 20th century sound and responsible for the world's most famous guitar, the Les Paul model, Les Paul's prestigious career in music and invention spans from the 1930s to the present. Though he's indisputably one of America's most popular, influential, and accomplished electric guitarists, Les Paul is best known as an early innovator in the development of the solid body guitar. His groundbreaking design would become the template for Gibson's best-selling electric, the Les Paul model, introduced in 1952. Today, countless musical legends still consider Paul's iconic guitar unmatched in sound and prowess. Among Paul's most enduring contributions are those in the technological realm, including ingenious developments in multi-track recording, guitar effects, and the mechanics of sound in general.

Born Lester William Polsfuss in Waukesha, Wisconsin on June 9, 1915, Les Paul was already performing publicly as a honky-tonk guitarist by the age of 13. So clear was his calling that Paul dropped out of high school at 17 to play in Sunny Joe Wolverton's Radio Band in St. Louis. As Paul's mentor, Wolverton was the one to christen him with the stage name “Rhubarb Red," a moniker that would follow him to Chicago in 1934. There, Paul became a bona fide radio star, known as both hillbilly picker Rhubarb Red and Django Reinhardt-informed jazz guitarist Les Paul. His first recordings were done in 1936 on an acoustic—alone as Rhubarb Red, as well as backing blues singer Georgia White. The next year he formed his first trio, but by 1938 he'd moved to New York to begin his tenure on national radio with one of the more popular dance orchestras in the country, Fred Waring's Pennsylvanians.

Tinkering with electronics and guitar amplification since his youth, Les Paul began constructing his own electric guitar in the late '30s. Unhappy with the first generation of commercially available hollowbodies because of their thin tone, lack of sustain, and feedback problems, Paul opted to build an entirely new structure. “I was interested in proving that a vibration-free top was the way to go," he has said. “I even built a guitar out of a railroad rail to prove it. What I wanted was to amplify pure string vibration, without the resonance of the wood getting involved in the sound." With the good graces of Epiphone president Epi Stathopoulo, Paul used the Epiphone plant and machinery in 1941 to bring his vision to fruition. He affectionately dubbed the guitar “The Log."

Les Paul's tireless experiments sometimes proved to be dangerous, and he nearly electrocuted himself in 1940 during a session in the cellar of his Queens apartment. During the next two years of rehabilitation, Les earned his living producing radio music. Forced to put the Pennsylvanians and the rest of his career on hold, Les Paul moved to Hollywood. During World War II, he was drafted into the Army but permitted to stay in California, where he became a regular player for Armed Forces Radio Service. By 1943 he had assembled a trio that regularly performed live, on the radio, and on V-Discs. In 1944 he entered the jazz spotlight—thanks to his dazzling work filling in for Oscar Moore alongside Nat King Cole, Illinois Jacquet, and other superstars —at the first of the prestigious Jazz at the Philharmonic concerts.

By his mid-thirties, Paul had successfully combined Reinhardt-inspired jazz playing and the western swing and twang of his Rhubarb Red persona into one distinctive, electrifying style. In the Les Paul Trio he translated the dizzying runs and unusual harmonies found on Jazz at the Philharmonic into a slower, subtler, more commercial approach. His novelty instrumentals were tighter, brasher, and punctuated with effects. Overall, the trademark Les Paul sound was razor-sharp, clean-shaven, and divinely smooth.

As small combos eclipsed big bands toward the end of World War II, Les Paul Trio's popularity grew. They cut records for Decca both alone and behind the likes of Helen Forrest, the Andrews Sisters, the Delta Rhythm Boys, Dick Hayes, and, most notably, Bing Crosby. Since 1945, when the crooner brought them into the studio to back him on a few numbers, the Trio had become regular guests on Crosby's hit radio show. The highlight of the session was Paul's first No. 1 hit and million-seller, the gorgeous “It's Been a Long, Long Time."

Meanwhile, Paul began to experiment with dubbing live tracks over recorded tracks, also altering the playback speed. This resulted in “Lover (When You're Near Me)," his revolutionary 1947 predecessor to multi-track recording. The hit instrumental featured Les Paul on eight different electric guitar parts, all playing together.

In 1948, Paul nearly lost his life to a devastating car crash that shattered his right arm and elbow. Still, he convinced doctors to set his broken arm in the guitar-picking and cradling position. Laid up but undaunted, Paul acquired a first generation Ampex tape recorder from Crosby in 1949, and began his most important multi-tracking adventure, adding a fourth head to the recorder to create sound-on-sound recordings. While tinkering with the machine and its many possibilities, he also came up with tape delay. These tricks, along with another recent Les Paul innovation—close mic-ing vocals—were integrated for the first time on a single recording: the 1950 No. 1 tour de force “How High the Moon."

This historic track was performed during a duo with future wife Mary Ford. The couple's prolific string of hits for Capitol Records not only included some of the most popular recordings of the early 1950s, but also wrote the book on contemporary studio production. The dense but crystal clear harmonic layering of guitars and vocals, along with Ford's close mic-ed voice and Paul's guitar effects, produced distinctively contemporary recordings with unprecedented sonic qualities. Through hits, tours, and popular radio shows, Paul and Ford kept one foot in the technological vanguard and the other in the cultural mainstream.

All the while, Les Paul continued to pine for the perfect guitar. Though The Log came close, it wasn't quite what he was after. In the early 1950s, Gibson Guitar would cultivate a partnership with Paul that would lead to the creation of the guitar he'd seen only in his dreams. In 1948, Gibson elected to design its first solidbody, and Paul, a self-described “dyed-in-the-wool Gibson man," seemed the right man for the job. Gibson avidly courted the guitar legend, even driving deep into the Pennsylvania mountains to deliver the first model to newlyweds Les Paul and Mary Ford.

“Les played it, and his eyes lighted up," then-Gibson President Ted McCarty has recalled. The year was 1950, and Paul had just signed on as the namesake of Gibson's first electric solidbody, with exclusive design privileges. Working closely with Paul, Gibson forged a relationship that would change popular culture forever. The Gibson Les Paul model—the most powerful and respected electric guitar in history—began with the 1952 release of the Les Paul Goldtop. After introducing the original Les Paul Goldtop in 1952, Gibson issued the Black Beauty, the mahogany-topped Les Paul Custom, in 1954. The Les Paul Junior (1954) and Special (1955) were also introduced before the canonical Les Paul Standard hit the market in 1958. With revolutionary humbucker pickups, this sunburst classic has remained unchanged for the half-century since it hit the market.

“The world has lost a truly innovative and exceptional human being today. I cannot imagine life without Les Paul. He would walk into a room and put a smile on anyone's face. His musical charm was extraordinary and his techniques unmatched anywhere in the world," said Henry Juszkiewicz, Chairman and CEO of Gibson Guitar. “We will dedicate ourselves to preserving Les' legacy to insure that it lives on forever. He touched so many lives throughout his remarkable life and his influence extends around the globe and across every boundary. I have lost a dear, personal friend and mentor, a man who has changed so many of our lives for the better."

“I don't think any words can describe the man we know as Les Paul adequately. The English language does not contain words that can pay enough homage to someone like Les. As the “Father of the Electric Guitar", he was not only one of the world's greatest innovators but a legend who created, inspired and contributed to the success of musicians around the world," said Dave Berryman, President of Gibson Guitar. “I have had the privilege to know and work with Les for many, many years and his passing has left a deep personal void. He was simply put – remarkable in every way. As a person, a musician, a friend, an inventor. He will be sorely missed by us all."

With the rise of the rock 'n' roll revolution of 1955, Les Paul and Mary Ford's popularity began to wane with younger listeners, though Paul would prove to be a massive influence on younger generation of guitarists. Still, Paul and Ford maintained their iconic presence with their wildly popular television show, which ran from 1953-1960. In 1964, the couple, parents to a son and daughter, divorced. Paul began playing in Japan, and recorded an LP for London Records before poor health forced him to take time off—as much as someone so inspired can take time off.

In the 1977, Paul resurfaced with a Grammy-winning Chet Atkins collaboration, Chester and Lester. Then the ailing guitarist, who'd already suffered arthritis and permanent hearing loss, had a heart attack, followed by bypass surgery.

Ever stubborn, Les recovered, and returned to live performance in the late 1980s. Until recently Les continued to perform two weekly New York shows with the Les Paul Trio, even releasing the 2005 double-Grammy winner Les Paul & Friends: American Made World Played, featuring collaborations with a veritable who's who of the electric guitar, including dozens of illustrious fans like Keith Richards, Buddy Guy, Billy Gibbons, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, and Joe Perry. In 2008, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame paid tribute to Les Paul in a week-long celebration of his life which culminated with a live performance by Les himself.

Les Paul has since become the only individual to share membership into the Grammy Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the National Inventors Hall of Fame, and the National Broadcasters Hall of Fame. Les is survived by his three sons Lester (Rus) G. Paul, Gene W. Paul and Robert (Bobby) R. Paul, his daughter Colleen Wess, son-in-law Gary Wess, long time friend Arlene Palmer, five grandchildren and five great grandchildren. A private Funeral service will be held in New York. A service in Waukesha, WI will be announced at a later date. Details will follow and will be announced for all services. Memorial tributes for the public will be announced at a future date. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Les Paul Foundation, 236 West 30^th Street, 7^th Floor, New York, New York 10001.
