EL PASO EN ROUTE TO LOS ANGELES–Too bad that Manny Pacquiao did not fight Ricky Hatton in the autumn.
The KO 2 happened in May but, if Ricky’s quick fall had happened in the fall, I could have trotted out Muhammad Ali’s old line about Hatton getting “dismemberment, he got hit so hard, he wondered where October and November went.”
I bring this up to inform the Pacquiao Worldwide Army (PWA) and crotchety “Jeff The Rican” that, starting today (Sunday), I will be eating, sleeping and breathing Pacquiao-Cotto. After a brief LA stay, I head directly to the Big Fight Scene in Lost Wages, Nevada.
I survived a quick sojourn to the bullet ridden, Mexican Army patrolled streets of Ciudad Juarez. More on that epic adventure later.
One highlight of my cross-border excursion was running into Mexican fight guy Panchito Reyes. He;s handled world champ Cesar Bazan and many other top fighters.
Panchito’s no hesitation fight pick: “Pacquiao by KO in six rounds, no doubt!”
Lots of other Mexicanos must feel the same way because Megamanny is the minus 2.50 betting favorite at the Juarez Race & Sports Book while Cotto is the plus 2.05 underdog, basically the same odds you can get in Vegas as of today.
