Tonight Oscar Delahoya vrs. Shane Mosely in a rematch, I'm going with Shane Mosely, first because I don't care for Oscar and second I think Oscar has lost his edge. Either way it should prove to be a good fight!

Mosley won the first fight by a split decession, and it WAS close. Now Oscar has Floyd Maywether as a trainer, and he is very ring saavy. He's trying to get Oscar to fight with both hands instead of counting on one for a knockout.

I look for it to go the distance with a win for DelaHoya. That will set up a third fight which means $$$

IMHO

Cricket fighting was an ancient and popular form of entertainment. Crickets were prized as sporting pets. A person would select the toughest cricket they could find and place it on a special diet of seeds and small insects. Just before the contest, the cricket would be starved to increase its aggressiveness. Two starving crickets would be placed into a cage with the intent of inciting a fight to the death. The ancient Chinese delighted in placing bets on the crickets and found the contest entertaining. Today it is still regarded as a sport in modern China.

Cricket fighting, which was very popular in ancient China, is slowly being revived. The earliest publication for how to use cricket for fighting is in Song Dynasty (1213-1275). The practice became rare after the revolution, due to its 'bourgeois nature'. Now it is making a come back. There are even Association for Cricket Fighting in Beijing. The association sponsors national tournaments whereby modern equipment such as video cameras are used to zoom in and project the fighting onto many television sets, which enable many viewers to see the fighting simultaneously," according to Zhiyong Buang.
