But the main coverage will be on events hosted by Fight Card Entertainment, a local, midwest mixed martial arts organization.Major newspapers and TV stations do not cover these type of events, but I will. So check back often for updates.Carloshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17021882731019981012noreply@blogger.comBlogger31100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077249424917671868.post-86039446223807668602008-05-13T22:34:00.000-05:002008-05-13T22:52:18.267-05:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vT127hgBxRk/SCpfA5w2lFI/AAAAAAAAAA8/JP088PNoOf4/s1600-h/NoWAyOutPosterWeb_0.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vT127hgBxRk/SCpfA5w2lFI/AAAAAAAAAA8/JP088PNoOf4/s320/NoWAyOutPosterWeb_0.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5200073188863022162" border="0" /></a><br /><marquee direction=right scrollamount=25>Fight*Fight*Fight</marquee><br />On May 23, 2008, Fight Card Entertainment will once again host another event.<br />This time the venue is called <a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://fightcard.net/main/1542-official-no-way-out-fight-card">"No Way Out"</a> and will once again be hosted at <a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://www.joesbar.com/">Joe's Sports Bar</a> in Chicago.<br />If you like this kind of contact sport, you should definitely attend or check back after that date for updates on who fought, won or lost.<br />So far there are 10-fights scheduled to take place.<br />Get ready to see some ass-kicking fights!!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3077249424917671868-8603944622380766860?l=carlos2535.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Carloshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17021882731019981012noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077249424917671868.post-2184873773566097222008-05-13T22:06:00.000-05:002008-05-13T22:27:14.328-05:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vT127hgBxRk/SCpbapw2lEI/AAAAAAAAAAs/CxTyjNS9Gyg/s1600-h/oscarmayweather.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vT127hgBxRk/SCpbapw2lEI/AAAAAAAAAAs/CxTyjNS9Gyg/s320/oscarmayweather.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5200069233198142530" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Last year:</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">On May 5, 2007, Oscar De La Hoya, also known as the Golden Boy stepped into the ring to fight Floyd Mayweather, Jr. The hype for this fight was unbelievable.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Not only did Oscar claim that he would defeat Mayweather, he said he would do it in honor of the "Cinco De Mayo".</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Mayweather mocked Oscar and the day of the fight, Mayweather even wore a sombrero.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">When it came down to the fight Oscar was definitely not fighting to the best of his abilities.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">He put the honor of a Mexican holiday in disgrace.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Now, I have followed Oscar since early in his career and I know for a fact that he could have defeated Mayweather.
