The blackout is over now that I huddled over my 12 inch laptop and watched not NASCAR, as Deucemandzadeh noted, but the Pacquiao-Cotto fight from Saturday night. The footage grainy and choppy, but the trend unmistakable. And although the stoppage came at an odd time (probably should have been stopped after the 8th round rather than in the middle of the 12th), if Cotto didn't play keep away for the last 4 rounds, then a knockout would have been inevitable.
Of course, the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight seems to be the obvious next step, but for some reason, I just do not think that Mayweather is going to sign on. Mayweather will probably take on someone like Mosley before he steps into the ring with Manny. For one I am not that opposed to this, for living in a world where Pacquiao-Mayweather is a possibility is much better than living in a post-fight world where it already happened and is never to be again... Or something like that. This Internet thing is obviously a little different than riding a bike.
Anyway, next big match is Williams-Pavlik. This Paul Williams cat is a machine and should give Pavlik all that he can handle. And hats off to Pavlik for even accepting the match. Williams has been kryptonite throughout the boxing world, well, because he's awesome and boxers would rather avoid sure-shot losses.
December 5th, y'all.
Did I say NASCAR? I meant the newest episode of Glee.
