Hello everyone! I hope everyone had a good weekend as there were a lot of upset victories in football. Here are the highlights of what happened over the weekend.
Boxing
After many years, ESPN announced that Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao will fight on May 5, 2012. For those who are confused as to why this is a big deal, here is why. After the glory days of where the legends such as Muhammed Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, Mike Tyson, Oscar De La Hoya, George Foreman graced their presence in the ring, boxing went into a steep decline. The decline is mostly due to MMA going on the rise, mainly due to UFC reforming their rules in the early 2000s. Since the period of decline, there have only been a few famous fighters, notably the two I mentioned above. Keep in mind that neither of the two boxers have signed the dotted line to make it official, so when it happens, I will let you know.
NFL
Yesterday was a day of upset victories as the New York Jets defeated the heavily favored Buffalo Bills, and the New York Giants defeated the extremely favored New England Patriots in a Super Bowl rematch. In the early game, after a scoreless 1st quarter, the Jets managed to make a field goal in the 2nd quarter, and the rest was history written by the Jets. Here are the highlights:
Later on, once the Jets/Bills game concluded, the Giants faced the Patriots in Foxborough in a Super Bowl rematch 4 years in the making (that is, if you don't include the preseason). Neither team scored in the 1st half, but things began to pick up as the Giants started to score. Patriots attempted a comeback, but in the end the Giants made a bigger comeback and what I would call "The Miracle at Foxborough". Here are the highlights:
Due to the Giants victory, the AFC East is a now a 3-way tie for 1st place between the Jets, Bills, and Patriots.
WWE

Last Saturday in College Football, Oklahoma Sooners def Texas A&M 41-25, Rutgers def South Florida 20-17 at the OT, Notre Dame def Wake Forest 24-17, and last but not least LSU def Alabama 9-6 at the OT to remain undefeated. The latter game that I mentioned was considered to be the College Football Game of the Week. Here are the highlights of LSU/Alabama:
That's all I have to say for now! Have a good week!
