Just coming in now, news that Macho Camacho was shot and is in critical condition. He was in his car when he was shot. His driver was killed in the attack in Puerto Rico.

Wow

It is reported now that Camacho's condition has worsened and he MAY be taken off life-support systems.

Not looking good for Camacho.

"Doctors say 'Macho' Camacho in critical condition after Puerto Rico shooting"

MSN reports that he's brain dead.

Camacho is dead.

Very sad.

I remember Hector from the early '80s. He lived in Harlem at the time but he hung out in the Bronx quite a bit. He was usually around the clubs on Westchester Avenue in Parkchester. There was on place in particular called PC's. He was there all the time. A lot of local boxers hung out there at the time. I remember Mark Breland and Iran Barkley well from that time period also. I can't say I knew any of them well, but I did meet them on several occasions.

Anyway, a lot of people didn't like Hector because he was so brash. But I say, Fuck that, the guy could back it up. He was also a pretty good martial artist. He looked like a pretty boy in the ring at times, but he was also a pretty good streetfighter. Even after he turned pro guys were always looking to test him. And they were usually sorry for it .

Anyway, none of that matters now. All that matters is that he's gone way too soon. Such a shame .

RIP Macho Camacho

looks like ricky hatton is retired again. he started out pretty strong, but a left hook to the body put him out near the end of rd 9.

pretty good scrap last night between robert guerrero and andre berto, pretty impressive how guerrero is able to move up in weight and take his power and chin with him. he started out at fetherweight(126), and is now fighting and winning at welterweight(147). check the replay out here guys...

next up, this one!

Hatton should have been nowhere near a boxing ring on Saturday night!!

Freddie Flintoff actually won his first fight last night. I didn't get to see it but he was knocked down in the 2nd in the end the judges gave him it by a point.

NOOOOOOO Cotto lost at the Garden!!!!! aghhh

Nicky, much as i like Cotto, i feel he is coming to the end now. Always a shame because he has been such a great warrior over they years. Future Hall of Famer for sure!!

I watched Tyson Fury win again last night. He is useful, but over hyped and it was an awful fight to watch. Booooring!!!!

cotto fought ok, but the reach and physical size of trout were too much at this point in his career. his jab was almost non-existent, and he didn't go to the body with any regularity. on the upside, trout could turn into a big star, so there isn't much shame in losing to a young lion like that. cotto has had a great career with wins over mosley, judah, margarito, mayorga, and mallanaggi, and had respectable efforts againt maywether and manny, the two best fighters of his generation. while he's still young(32), he has had many tough fights so i think maybe a farewell fight in nyc or PR, but if not its time to call it a career imo.

Pacman KO'd cold!!!! Damn what a punch!!

I love how their boxing trunks now resemble a NASCAR auto. How many more sponsors can they fit on those shorts?!?

Helluva shot.

On a sad note, this fight series will probably go on until 2052 .

amazing fight between them, that shot was so brutal that manny might wanna think about hanging it up, he has seemingly degraded alot in the last 2-3 years. boxing has shot itself in the foot again though, as pacquio/maywether is now dead in the water. way to go, because of greed on both sides as well as the promoters, we missed out on the biggest fight of the last 30+ years because someone wasn't willing to take the short end of the money and only walk away with 40+ million instead of 50. shit like this is why i've turned my back on the sport for the most part, although i still catch the big fights. you don't have thee same bullshit problems in mma, and with the added benefit of one championship per weight class.

This is broadcast in Spanish and it will probably get taken down in a few hours.

Anybody still bothered about a Manny v Floyd "super" fight??

Amir Khan back in action on Saturday. I think he is a busted flush, to easy to hit but he always brings value for money!!

Amir Khan looked good on Saturday, even though Molina was a bit limited. However Molina won my heart, just my type of fighter, tough and strong,full of guts. Khan will go on to a re-match with Garcia, a 50-50 fight for sure!!

Yes Sir Anyone who loses someone..I grew up watchin this guy when i was i kid..felt sad his mom should of left him on support he was a fighter he might of came out of it.??He wasnt in an american hospital that was ashame..But my Favorite was PazzManian devil..But Macho helped make everyone his jab is so quick and he keept movin.He slid in his uppercuts and straght lefts alwayn when needed to..He is or was on Demand here in phlly on comcast..I watched the macho pazz fight like 30 times..You probally never forget that erea also..Macho Pazz Huagen Chavez MTaylor..

Yea in away i still wanna see it..But how about Marquez and Floyd..Cant remember if they fought but that old man Marquez is a little monster and has a weight lifting program. where if he hit floyd with that 6'' choppy right, or hook its seeyalatter..I like floy he does things defenve that you
supposed to do THE basics..And he is the best at it now not ever..Just youtube SweetpeaWitaker..He was amazeing and other fighters say it.but i wanna see the new guys get a chance Andre Berto n floyd Adrian Broner, Macos Maddona even our own phlly guy Hammerin Hank Lundy..Lundy Berto n Broner have the fastest hands around...N have the best chance also at Floyd

You called it so perfectly ..Ted Atlas said it him self Manny is a Singer Congressman doin Tv commercials and Lots of green money And oh meeting with romney before the fight???..All that stuff Takes away from motovation and hunger you need to fight on a real sharp level..Yea i love to see Floys Manny also..But there are alot of New guys commin up HankLundy Broner who is real fast. and Macos Maddona is a little wild man..Hope i spelled thier names right you can you tube thier fights..If fights are old enough to view
