De La Hoya vs Pacquiao Set for Dec 6th
August 27, 2008
I really didn’t think this fight was going to happen with all the talks of the money not being right and many skeptics calling it a circus show. But low and behold, Oscar pulled off what is to be his last fight on December 6th against P4P #1 Manny Pacquiao. An official announcement will be made tomorrow and looks as if they’ll both be meeting at the Welterweight limit of 147 pounds.
Part of me is thinking, Pacquaio is too fast and too ferocious for Oscar at this point of his career. But the other part of me knows Oscar comes to fight and if he comes in fight night at say 154, can Manny hang against left hooks coming from a Junior Middleweight?
It’s going to be an interesting next 4 months.
Oscar De La Hoya, boxing’s biggest star, will announce Thursday that he will meet pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao on Dec. 6, two sources close to the fight told ESPN.com.
Top Rank’s Bob Arum, whose company promotes Pacquiao, would not confirm a deal was in place for what would be the year’s biggest fight, but he did tell ESPN.com that De La Hoya would host a media teleconference at 2 p.m. ET on Thursday to announce his opponent.
“We’ll know who is he is fighting tomorrow,” Arum said Wednesday from Youngstown, Ohio, where he was attending a promotional event for the Kelly Pavlik-Bernard Hopkins fight that he is co-promoting with De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions. “I made a commitment that I wouldn’t say anything and that tomorrow there would be an announcement. I’m not allowed to make any comments. Everything will be clear on Thursday.”

Classic 90′s Mixtapes Vol 1
August 27, 2008
The 90′s to me were not only the Golden Years for Hip Hop, but was also sort of the same for the Mixtape game. NY was runnin shit with tapes from Clue, Doo Wop, S&S, Ron G, Craig G (not the rapper), Camilo…and the list goes on. I ran into a pretty dope spot on line called Know Good Music where I found some mixtapes I thought I’d never see again (being some friends mysteriously lost them after borrowing them for an entire Summer).
Here are a few gems I know you 90′s heads will definitely appreicate.
Doowop Summer Jam ’96: Side A Side B
DJ Clue – Show Me the Money ’97: Side A Side B
DJ S&S – Niggaz Still Aint Nice ’95: Side A Side B
DJ Premier – Crooklyn Cuts III: Tape A
Doowop Spring 1 Mixtape ’94: Side A Side B

RIP Kevin Duckworth
August 26, 2008
Wow…only 44.
Kevin Duckworth, a former Thornridge High School and Eastern Illinois University basketball standout, has died. Duckworth was visiting the Oregon Coast hosting a free basketball clinic when he passed away on Monday. He was 44.
The Lincoln County sheriff’s office confirmed his death.
Duckworth was born in Harvey and went to Thornridge and Eastern Illinois. The 7-foot, 275-pounder was then drafted in the second round of the 1986 NBA draft by the San Antonio Spurs. He joined the Portland Trail Blazers in 1986 and was a starter there in the late 1980s and early 1990s. He was a Western Conference All-Star in 1989 and 1991.
He went on to play for the Washington Bullets (1993-95) and Milwaukee Bucks (1995-96) before retiring from the NBA in 1997 after a season with the Los Angeles Clippers.
