Pacquiao clobbers Margarito for eighth title

ARLINGTON, Texas – Manny Pacquiao was once again masterful, beating Antonio Margarito so frightfully that Margarito’s face looked as it had been pounded repeatedly by a club.
Pacquiao won a unanimous one-sided decision in a blowout from the opening seconds of the fight to capture the World Boxing Council super welterweight title before 41,734 in-awe fans at Cowboys Stadium.

Margarito, fighting for the first time in the U.S. since Jan. 24, 2009, when he was caught with an illegal knuckle pad in his gloves before a loss to Shane Mosley, was never in the fight. Pacquiao’s speed was blinding and was the difference in the fight.
Pacquiao was hurt when Margarito landed a combination to the ribs, but he spun off the ropes and landed a three-punch combination to the head. Margarito’s right eye was swollen grotesquely, beginning in the fourth. By the 10th round, the left eye was a slit, too.
Pacquiao was looking at referee Laurence Cole late in the fight, asking him to stop it. Pacquiao said he eased off in the 12th round. “I did my best,” Pacquiao said. “He’s strong. He’s a very tough fighter. I can’t believe [he took those punches].”
Pacquiao’s trainer, Freddie Roach, added, “We didn’t lose a round. I wish they had stopped the fight. They probably ruined his career by not stopping the fight.

Lindsay Lohan leaves Rehab

Actress Lindsay Lohan may be in rehab, but she’s still a shopaholic. The 24-year-old was spotted taking a break from the Betty Ford Clinic to hit the retail chain Forever 21, spending upwards of $200 on a leopard sweater, PJ bottoms, and socks. Lots of socks.

Craigslist Killer – Boston has a Craigslist killer, seen in photos below, attacking women who advertise masseuse or escort services on the popular site with 26-year old Julissa Brisman the latest victim.

The Craigslist killer calls women advertising services on the site, makes appointments to meet them at luxury hotels and then immediately ties them up and robs or kills them when he arrives.

Julissa Brisman was shot to death when she struggled with the killer in the doorway of her hotel room at the Marriott Copley Place hotel Tuesday night. Brisman was shot multiple times in the torso and police found a plastic restraint on one wrist.
Hotel guest Jane Greenberg was reading a book in a nearby room when she heard banging and other noises coming from the hallway.
Greenberg said she heard “shrieking” – “as if a child was screaming” – and opened her door to see the Julissa Brisman unresponsive and bleeding to death in the doorway of her hotel room three doors down the hall.
Greenberg quickly called hotel security, but Brisman died a short time later at Boston Medical Center.
Police said Brisman put up a fight when the killer attempted to tie up her wrists and rob her, police said. In surveillance photos released yesterday, the murder suspect is seen wearing a black jacket with dark slacks and typing on a BlackBerry as he got off the escalator at the Marriott.

On January 17, Donna Rao – who also advertised her services on Craigslist – was tied up and robbed at the nearby Back Bay Sheraton Hotel.
The killer seems to be obssessed with his Blackberry and often wears a Red Sox cap to hide his face.

20 MOST DISTURBING SCENES EVER

Bill couldn't control his lust for Lorena even though she'd once again outmaneuvered him, but he could control whether she looked at him as he was above her — by turning her head 180 degrees around!! Not only did she show no sign of discomfort besides the dribble of blood coming out her mouth, but she smiled. For a show that's already got lots of sex and violence, this was one mixture of the two that was entirely creepy. —Abby West

top ten foods to eat during super bowl

The Super Bowl is just around the corner, and for those who don’t love football or have strong feelings about either team, the Super Bowl is all about the party. There are so many great party foods, I decided the compile a list of my 10 favorite Super Bowl foods. Warning: this list does not contain anything healthy.

I have seen a lot of Food Network shows and such where they make fancy Super Bowl food, but I have decided to stick with the classics. On my list, forks and knives are not allowed, and I’m not including anything that you’d need paycheck loans to be able to afford.
