    The kid from Austin put up a great fight after being knocked down twice it the first.

    and he only threw about 4 right hands for the last 10 rounds after hurting himself.

    he deserves a rematch

    And then Morales said he hurt his hand in the second round after the knockdown too... :rolleyes:
    And how could the morales people seem to not notice Chavez was fighting with one hand the whole time, it is just perplexing.
    I hope they have a rematch.

    The guy Cotto on the undercard looks really good. Strong and solid. It'll be col to see him fight more other big names people.

    I missed the undercards but caught the last 6 rounds.

    It was pretty amazing how the other corner didn't notice the whole right hand thing. Is this a sign of a weak corner?

    After I read The Power of One, I wanted to learn how to box so bad. Mostly for the romantic aspects of it and the different workout regimine. I've been told that boxers' physiques are all from things that aren't lifting weights (pushups, jumprope, punching bag nonstop for minutes at a time, etc.). That's pretty impressive. Learning the fundamentals and the foot work just seems like a cool skill to have in life, but I have no clue how to learn in Houston. It's not like I WANT to get hit a lot and lose teeth and I can't say I really have any real desire to hurt anyone, but then again I learned to play tennis without expecting to ever play in big tournaments, so I'd like to give it a shot.

    Any boxers here got any advice? Ha, I'd even be willing to buy a boxing for dummies or something. I haven't actually checked.
