The fight that I mentioned Between Atlanta's Kevin "The Kingpin" Johnson and Monte "two guns" Barrett has been seriously upgraded.  Barrett has been replaced by Devin Varagas, who like Johnson is undefeated and a legitimate prospect.. Fights like this just don't happen under normal circumstances in boxing, because boxing sucks.  Not  between undefeated prospects, not on regular tv.   This only happened because Barrett pulled out of the fight, and Vargas , who was supposed to fight some tomatocan agreed to fill the void before his manager could intercede.  I assume.

So this is fight , free on espn2 this Friday, between two guys with a combined record of forty-something and zero.  Both with skills. In truth I know little about Vargas, he is white, 17-0 and was the captian of the 04 olympic team.

You're all invited over to watch. Seriously, expect a phone call soon, telling you what to bring.

So Manny Pacqi really is incredibly.    I think hatton froze up realizing that he had no business trying-out new skills in the ring with Manny, and consequently got beat worse that he would have not preparing at all.    Had he come in as himself he would have got beat badly too, but not that bad.   Manny is really good.    The fight went as I saw it going actually, which is why I was silent on the matter. (Don't believe me if you don't want to).
