Lakers vs Jazz

Lakers looked awesome today at the Staples center. Kobe 31 pts, Gasol 25 pts and 12 rbs, and 3 guys with double digit rebounds - Bynum 10, Odem 12, and Gasol 12. Kobe and Gasol both went 7-7 at the free throw line.
Utah Jazz looked nice also, 5 guys in double digit scoring. Thankfully the Lakers were able to hold them at bay and take game one.

Mosley vs Mayweather

Last night boxing match was interesting up until the 3rd round. Mosley nearly KO'd Mayweather in the 2nd. Mayweather came out in the 3rd a completely different fighter from the previous 2 rounds and dominated rounds 3-12. Personally I don't care for Mayweather, but I am man enough to give the man his due. Mayweather was able to survive Mosley's power in round two and go on to showcase his incredible boxing skills. Congrats to Mayweather for a masterful win!!!

Everyone, including myself want to see Mayweather vs Pacman. After watching the HBO shows with Mayweather and Mosley leading up to their fight and viewing last nights interview with Floyd, I am going to side with Floyd on the dope testing. As Mr. Mayweather stated last night, "I only want a level playing field", I and any decent fan would have to agree - there is nothing wrong with his legitimate request. Shane Mosley stepped up and excepted the Olympic type doping testing and I, along with others give him huge respectful props for doing so. I have a new found respect for Mr. Mayweather after last nights match. I support him 100% in the doping requests. The costs of the doping tests should not be an issue, they, everyone involved make enough money to allow the testing.
