Blogging 101

I just started to blog again on this test blog. As you can see there aren't a lot of posts. I don't want it to make it too redundant with my other blogs, so I will just blog my thoughts here.

First of all, I started 2 other new blogs on blogger. One is about movies and the other one is about basic credit card stuff. I love to write so posting consistently will be easy for now.

I am trying to create some income sources and blogging is one of those ways. I have read enough that I should be able to create even more blogs and hopefully in the process create an actual income stream. We will see if it works.

Oscar De La Hoya vs Manny Pacquiao

This fight is happening this weekend. I like both of these fighters so it is hard for me to root for one over the other. I think both bring strengths into the fight.

I think Pacquiao is quick, consistent, and throws a high number of punches. This is how he has basically beat up all the other great Mexican boxers in the lower weight classes. I also think he has a strong will and won't give up.

In regards to Oscar DeLaHoya, I think his strength is his jab. He definitely comes in bigger, taller, and longer reach advantage. His weakness is his endurance. He seems to putter out towards the end of the fight plus he isn't consistent with his jab. The last fight he had with Forbes, he did show more jabs consistently. I really thought he was doing a tuneup fight against Floyd Mayweather who is still retired.

I wouldn't bet on this fight, but if I had to pick a winner, I think the Goldenboy will win by decision because of his size and reach advantage. Hopefully, it will be a great fight. If Pacman wins, then I think he will truly be the best pound for pound champion.
