Manny Pacquiao vs. Shane Mosley Live

The Manny Pacquiao Express motors on as Bloody Elbow will cover today's weigh-in for his fight with "Sugar" Shane Mosley. The weigh-ins will stream live on Top Rank Boxing's website at 6 p.m. ET. Check it out on Showtime Extreme as well. [Update] Bad Left Hook's Scott Christ recommends using ESPN or Yahoo!'s stream, or flipping on Sports-Center, which will air the weigh-ins live.

Back to J.B., who is running through the Pacquiao press packet. Oh god, Bob Arum crawls on stage, looking a couple years away from Al Davis. Brent Brookhouse notes that Arum said compared Pacquiao's ability to punch with both hands to an MLB pitcher throwing left- and right-handed. My stream is godawful right now, and I'm not watching ESPN's coverage on SportsCenter.

[Update] We are live. James Brown of The NFL Today of CBS is emceeing the event.

Brown running through the career accomplishments of both fighters. Cut to Ines Sainz interviewing Mosley. No clue why she's doing English-language work. Her cadence reminds me of Tyler Hansbrough reading to kids. She asks Shane how he plans to pretend to stop Manny's speed. So. There you have that.

Mosley to the scale first. Smattering of applause and jeers. Looks good. Lennon announces Shane Mosley weighs in at 147 pounds.

Pacquiao up now. Good reaction. He flexes for the crowd, which gets a pop. Manny Pacquiao weighs in at 145 pounds. Big "Man-ny!" cheer goes up.

Gentle staredown. They shake and embrace.

Teddy Atlas says Mosley has a shot if he hurts Pacquiao early. Good luck with that.

We're on Jimmy Lennon Jr. now. He calls up Shane Mosley to the stage. Mosley wearing a powder blue Adidas track suit, looking like an extra from a Run-DMC video or some sort of Russian coke dealer. Pacquiao comes to the stage now. Yellow logo T-shirt with a red sweat suit. They begin to undress.

Atlas notes that Mosley's "skin looks good" and that he isn't "ashy." Also noted that Mosley didn't grab immediately for liquids, so he thinks the cut went well.

The weigh-ins (and tomorrow night's fight) are taking place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Pacquiao and Mosley will fight at the welterweight (147 lb.) limit, with Pacquiao's WBO welterweight title up for grabs.

Pacquiao is 52-3-2 and the current WBC Super Welterweight World Champion and the WBO Welterweight World Champion. He is the first boxer to win the lineal title in four separate weight classes. He hasn't lost since Erik Morales took a unanimous decision over him in March of 2005, and he obliterated Antonio Margarito over twelve rounds in Cowboys Stadium in November.

Mosley is 46-6-1 with 1 no contest. He drew with Sergio Mora in his last fight in September. He dropped an uncompetitive decision to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in May of 2010, with his last victory coming over Antonio Margarito by TKO in January of 2009

VALENCIA CELEBRATES GRADUATES BY PUTTING THEIR NAMES ON LYNX BUS

Valencia Community College usually celebrates its graduating students by running an ad in the newspaper. But this year, college officials said they wanted to recognize students in a more visible way. You’ll see the names of honors graduates in red. Valencia wanted to do something special, officials said, because this year’s graduating class will be the last at Valencia Community College. The institution will change its name to Valencia College in a few months.

They’ve posted the names of all 7,192 graduates on a Lynx bus with the congratulatory message: “The 2011 Valencia Grads are Going Places. Congrats!”

“We hope it also sends a strong message of encouragement to all those who see it and connect Valencia with the place to start right and finish big,” said spokeswoman Carol Traynor.

The decorated bus will be parked outside the Silver Spurs Arena in Kissimmee on Saturday morning so students and their families can pose for graduation photos in front of it. The commencement ceremony starts at 10 a.m.

Afterward, the bus will be carrying passengers for two months along the bus route known as Link 15, which includes a stop at Valencia’s East Campus, located on North Econlockhatchee Trail in Orlando.

SAMSUNG GALAXY S2 --- THE BEAST!!!

Matt Buchanan — The Infuse 4G doesn't feel quite as spectacular as I remember at CES—it's missing that feeling of heft, that feeling of quality construction, subbing in a less dense plastic—but the 4.5-inch Super AMOLED Plus screen is still a rich-hued stunner, and its 8.99mm of thinness effectively camouflages the serious size of the phone, which inches (literally) into mini-tablet territory.

It's all still powered by a single-core 1.2GHz processor, with an 8MP rear and 1.3MP front camera. The 4G on here is, um, more 4Ger than AT&T's other "4G" phones, with 21Mbps on the downstream, and HSUPA enabled from the get go, unlike the Atrix. On the downside, it's still running Android 2.2 with the older version of TouchWiz, same as the current Galaxy S variant on AT&T, the Captivate. But this thing massive thing's out May 15 for $200 w/ contract.

Expect more hands on time with this later. [AT&T]

Kentucky Derby Horses - 2011

Kentucky Derby Horses - 2011

May06by Brian Floyd

With the second-best odds in the 2011 Kentucky Derby, Uncle Mo has an excellent chance of emerging the victor and entering the winner's circle at Churchill Downs on Saturday. That is, if he's healthy and if he even races. Both are questions with just one day to go until the race and it's no certainty Uncle Mo will even race in the Kentucky Derby -- his trainer will make the final decision sometime Friday morning after weighing the options and taking into account how he looks.

Turns out Uncle MO was dealing with a gastrointestinal infection that's required antibiotics and slowed his training ahead of the grueling derby at Churchill Downs. Because of the infection, and less than 100 percent health, there's about a 50-50 chance Mo may never get out of the gates in Saturday's Kentucky Derby. And if he does, nobody has a clue whether he'll be fit enough to mount a serious challenge.

To see Uncle Mo falter down the stretch at the Wood Memorial, his final tune-up ahead of the Kentucky Derby, was a surprise to horse racing enthusiasts and casual observers alike. He had yet to lose a race and was dominant in steam-rolling the competition in every other race he'd entered ahead of the Wood Memorial. But a disappointing third-place finish took Uncle Mo from heavy derby favorite to question mark by the time he hit the wire, and nobody was quite sure why the dominant horse faded.

“This isn’t going to be a Saturday decision,” he said. “We owe it to the racing fans, we owe it to the public; it’s not our intention to drag this out.”

Uncle Mo's veterinarians and trainer will reported make the final decision on whether or not to scratch him from the race on Friday. Owner Mike Repole said he had no intention of making a last-minute decision on Saturday, but also sounded less than confident Uncle Mo would be able to race in the derby

We'll keep an eye on Uncle Mo's status as more becomes available. If he scratches, it will likely have a profound impact on the field and the odds, and Dialed In may become even more of a favorite. With a morning announcement expected, we'll know soon whether he'll be able to give it a go or not.
