Lbs. 4 Lbs. Night of Champions May 6, 2012

It's called pay per view boxing for a purpose; to view the best of the best in boxing, pound for pound. That’s exactly what was served Saturday night in MGM Grand Las Vegas.

Four great bouts; two action packed under-cards, plus a co-feature, highlighting Saul Alvarez vs. Shane Mosley, which was pure artistry, and of course we waited with anxiety for the main fight Mayweather vs. Puerto Rican Champ Cotto.

The co-feature Canelo (40-0-1 29 kos) vs. Sugar Shane Mosley was a lopsided contest.

Canelo 21 years of age fought an old 40 year old Sugar Shane Mosley (46-8-1) with everything but the kitchen sink. An trial horse in the making, Sugar should retire to avoid further punishment to a great champion.

Canelo is a rising champ among the Mexican champs, controlled the bout at the tune of 11 out of 12 stanzas. A bright future!!

As for the main event, Cotto vs. Mayweather. It was a pier sixer, a classic and Cotto was tough!! Mayweather and Cotto are both future Hall of Fame boxers , both respected each other, no bad mouthing, no cursing, no punk.

Mayweather took most of the rounds. But, Cotto was a warrior, constantly cornering Mayweather and laid the leather on him, superbly cutting off the ring on Mayweather, which is a good strategy. Meanwhile Mayweather tattooed Cotto with everything; lefts, rights, uppercuts, and body shots, but Cotto was durable and tough!! A great Champ. The final results; Floyd “Money” Mayweather had a bloody nose and the decision. Miguel Cotto still a champ to the Puerto Rican fans.

Pure exciting boxing that night from where I was sitting I saw no punk all night.

Speaking of where I was sitting and on the subject of pound for pound champs. I watched these bouts in a spectacular supper club called Amnesia located 10007 4^th Ave. in Bay Ridge Brooklyn N.Y. 11209 718 680-3131.

Host and owner Frank Sofia served kindness, friendlyness , personable to all, and large screen PPV along with numerous flat screen viewing, everywhere you turn you have a perfect viewing. Terrific sports bar. Manager Charles Atiles is warm friendly and welcoming. He runs the place like a well ticking watch, everything seems to flow naturally and he has the staff waiting on patrons in unison. Provided us with Latin music,good food and ambiance.

Amnesia’s staff, Frank and Charles are Hall of Fame, pound for pound Champs.
