Paul Williams (36-1, 27 KO’s) vs. Winky Wright (51-4-1, 25 KO’s) Fight Odds Preview: The Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, will be the sight for this non-title middleweight bout between Paul Williams vs. Winky Wright, and it can be seen live on regular HBO.

According to Online Boxing oddsmakers at SportsBook.com, the younger fighter, Paul Williams [-200 M.L.] has been listed as the Sports Odds favorite to be the victor in his middleweight fight against underdog, Winky Wright [+160 M.L.].

The 27-year-old Williams still has much to prove despite having all the tools to become a Hall of Fame fighter. Wright, 37, is currently on the back end of a brilliant boxing career, which will certainly secure him a spot in the Hall of Fame. Nevertheless, it’s easy to understand why all the pressure would squarely be on Williams to produce.

Tonight’s HBO telecast opens up with a great documentary on Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier 3 fight at 8 PM ET (5 PM PT), followed by the first look at “24/7: Pacquiao-Hatton”.  HBO’s Paul Williams vs. Winky Wright Fight Odds Preview kicks off with what should be a very entertaining heavyweight bout between Cristobal Arreola and Jameel McCline at 10 PM ET.

Thus far, Williams has put together an impressive 36-1 record, and has already avenged his only loss by knocking out Carlos Quintana in the first round of their rematch. Nevertheless, Williams has failed to become a main fan-attraction, as reflected by his ticket sales. Few, however, of Williams’ fights have left fans wanting more and he’s yet to prove his name on a marquee will translate into ticket sales.

So what is Williams doing to chance that? He is promising an exciting scrap, as he intends to stand to-to-toe with Winky until someone goes down. “He can block. He can jab (but it won’t matter),” Williams said. “He’s going to have to come fight me. That will leave him open for shots. That’s what I’m looking for. I’m not looking to sit around and wait. I’m going to make him work. … I come to fight. And he knows that.

“It’s going to be an explosive fight. It’s not going to be boring, because he’s blocking. I’m going to hit him and make some openings.”

Ricky Hatton (45-1, 32 KO’s) vs. Manny Pacquiao (48-3-2, 37 KO’s) Fight Odds Preview: The much-anticipated fight between Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton is set to take place Saturday May 2nd live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

This fight, which has been called-off on several occasions, gives Hatton an opportunity to prove that he is indeed the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world.

“Sometimes I have to pinch myself and check,” said Hatton. “Did he beat Oscar or did he beat Godzilla? I can’t believe how everyone has reacted to this. Of course Manny is a brilliant fighter but Oscar was a long way from his best and it amazes me that more people haven’t seen that.”

Online Boxing odds-making experts at SportsBook.com don’t seem to agree with that statement, as they’ve listed Manny Pacquiao [-260 M.L.] as a pretty significant Sports Odds favorite to defeat Ricky Hatton [+200 M.L.] on their May 2nd bout.

He is the only one who knows. He is only one who will know. And he is the only one who does know.” The OVER/UNDER for this, Ricky Hatton vs. Manny Pacquiao Fight Odds Preview has been set at a combined total of 9½ rounds.

“They don't come better. I'm the best 10 stone fighter in the world, he's the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world," Hatton said. "I'd like to think I'm one of the biggest attractions in boxing. I don't think I've seen Manny Pacquiao in a bad fight. I've never had a dull fight. Get your house on me. I fell short once when challenging for the pound-for-pound title, I won't do it this time."

UFC 100 Mark Coleman (15-9) vs. Stephen Bonnar (11-5): Another bout has been announced for The Ultimate Fighting Championship’s century-event celebration of its UFC 100, as UFC Hall of Famer Mark Coleman returns to the Octagon to take on Stephen Bonnar in a light-heavyweight matchup.

UFC 100 is scheduled to take place on July 11th 2009 live from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, and it can be seen on pay per view.

After being rumored as early as March of this year, Amir Sadollah finally confirmed the bout between the 44-year-old Hammer and the 32-year-old, Bonnar during the new episodes of "The Ultimate Fighter 9" on Spike TV.

Both fighters come into UFC 100 after losses and in must-win situations. In January 31st, “UFC 94: St-Pierre vs. Penn 2” Bonnar was defeated by Jon Jones by Unanimous Decision.

Much like his opponent, Bonnar finds himself in a must-win situation. Bonnar, who's battled with inconsistency since joining the UFC in 2005, has now lost three of his past five fights, which included a unanimous-decision loss earlier this year to Jon Jones at UFC 94. Bonnar is just 2-3 in his last 5 fights in the UFC.

“The Hammer” comes in a more desperate position than his opponent having lost 4 consecutive fights in the Octagon. Coleman’s most recent defeat came by 3rd round TKO in UFC 93 against the Brazilian, Mauricio “Shogun” Rua. In fact, the last time Coleman was victorious in the UFC dates all the way back to UFC 12’s “Judgment Day”, when he defeated Dan Severn by Submission (choke), on February 7, 1997.  

In addition to the Coleman-Bonnar fight, the UFC has announced 3 official bouts for UFC 100: UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar vs. interim heavyweight title-holder Frank Mir, UFC welterweight champ Georges St. Pierre vs. Thiago Alves and Michael Bisping vs. Dan Henderson.

UFC President Dana White Offends Homosexuals and Mentally Handicapped: The president of the most successful MMA brand ever, Dana White, has never been exactly shy to express how he really feels about any specific issue; that is no secret. So why in the world are people blowing this out of proportion like he is Obama?

In fact, White’s YouTube Video Blogs, often decorated with heavy dozes of the F-word, have become sort of a fan favorite for MMA fans all over the world; indicated by the amount of views it receives and messages posted by its viewers (some good, some bad, but people still have plenty to say).

The blogs give UFC fans uncensored access into some of the day-to-day operations of the company, as well as how its president interacts in his natural habitat.

Now, I would admit that, if you’ve never seen this guy’s “YouTube video blogs” and all of the sudden you watch what he said about some writer that, allegedly published lies about how the UFC conducts certain policies, it’s initially shocking. But by the same token, that same attitude and that same language is exactly what has made the blogs so popular. So why freak out now?

I am absolutely convinced that if someone would have protested about his language, or if people were so offended that no one would watch his videos because of it, there would be no "Dana White YouTube Video Blogs". So who's to blame here really? So, what, it's only good and entertaining if you agree with it?

“I just head that there was another absolutely f****** retarded story written by Loretta Hunt. Loretta, you f****** moron!” Then, White goes off about what this Hunt reporter wrote regarding fighters’ credentials and whatnot: “It is always been the policy at the UFC that the fighters get so many credentials and they can credential whoever the f****** they want... you’re such a f****** genius,” White added.

Then, the UFC president refers back to one of Hunt’s interviews, which he wasn’t very pleased about: “I heard your interview that you did too about where you say Rich Franklin was our poster-boy and we were trying not to get him beat by Matt Lindland and all that f****** s*** too. Yeah, that’s why he fought Anderson Silva f****** twice, because we were trying to f****** protect Rich Franklin… the only reason I’m talking about this, is to show how f****** dumb you are.” White then concludes his wrath by eloquently saying with a smile: “You f****** dumb bitch, f*** you Loretta Hunt!”

Today, Dana White issued the following apology, also via his YouTube Video Blog: "So yesterday on my video blog, I obviously chose some words that offended and hurt some people. Anybody who knows me knows that I would never, ever maliciously attack somebody who wasn't attacking me.  As far as the gay and lesbian community, my comments were not directed toward them. I have no problem with the gay and lesbian community; I'm actually a supporter of many of their issues. The last thing that I would ever want anybody to think about me or think is cool is to go out and attack somebody because of their sexual orientation. That was not my intention. That's not the way I said it. I apologize for anybody that I've offended or hurt."
