Veteran referee Kenny Bayless has been chosen to referee the Manny Pacquiao vs. Miguel Cotto fight Nov. 14 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
The three judges will be Duane Ford, Dave Moretti, and Adelaide Byrd, all of Las Vegas.
* Question for you: Why did it take until the last week of the training camp for the news that trainer Freddie Roach wasn't even staying at the same hotel as Manny Pacquiao and the rest of his team? What else don't we know? I'd like to know.
* Team Pacquiao is scheduled to move camp on October 22 from Baguio to Manila, and leave on October 24 for Los Angles to continue training at Freddie Roach's Wild Card Gym in nearby Hollywood.
* Unusual move: Big-time promoter Gary Shaw has invited his junior middleweight prospect, Alfred Angulo, to move his training camp in Sunny California to his home in Wayne, NJ. Angulo, stunned by Kermit Cintron recently, fights on undercard of HBO bout between Chad Dawson and Glen Johnson Nov. 7 in Connecticut.
* Arthur Abraham, who fights tonight, is a co - favorite along with Mikkel Kessler to ultimately win the Showtime - sponsored Super Six World Boxing Classic that may take almost three years. It's a modified round - robin tournament.
I believe Abraham takes the whole thing. There, I said it Marley!
* Abraham, 30-0 (24 KO's) faces American Jermain Taylor, 28-3 (17 KO's) from Berlin, Germany on Showtime 8 PM Eastern.
