Pacquiao vs Mosley Weigh in Video

Tapang, talino at bilis

ARLINGTON, Tx -- Magandang araw po ulit sa inyong lahat, sa aking mga kababayan saan mang sulok ng mundo. Nasaan man kayo naroroon, alam kong sabik na kayo sa aking laban.

Ito na po ang ating pinakahihintay na sandali. Ngayong gabi sa Cowboys Stadium, makakaharap ko na si Antonio Margarito upang pag-agawan ang belt ng WBC super welterweight division.

Inaasahan kong mainit ang magaganap naming laban. Dahil alam kong pinaghandaan niyang mabuti ang labang ito. Nababalitaan ko rin na talagang pinag-aralan nila ang aking galaw.

Pero, wala po akong kaba. Kailangan kong maging matapang upang ipakita sa aking kalaban na kahit siya’y malaki ay hindi ako uurong sa laban. Handa ako sa laban at sa anumang ibabato sa akin ng kalaban mula sa Tijuana, Mexico.

Kapwa kami may misyon ni Margarito. read more...

Pacquiao cruises Dominates Clottey

March 13th, 2010

Brad Cooney


The pound for pound king once again showed the world why he is one of a kind. Manny Pacquiao dominated Joshua Clottey through 12 rounds using his speed and his punch output. Clottey fought a scared fight and took no chances despite his corner begging him to do so. The 11th round was the first time in the entire fight where Clottey opened up a little bit. The problem? Pacquiao rose to the occassion and took the round back anyway. Pacquiao overwhelmed Clottey with too many punches. Clottey suvived the fight, but that's all he was able to do. Official scores 120/108 119/109 and 119/109 UD Pacquiao

Pacquiao will end up in hospital

DALLAS – He must have had a drink too many for him to say some nasty things about Manny Pacquiao.

“Manny’s going straight to the hospital after the fight,” Kwaku Gyamfi, a member of Team Clottey, told Pinoy scribes, who chanced upon him at the cozy Silver Bar of the Gaylord Texan Hotel Tuesday evening.

It was just a little past 8 p.m., and Gyamfi, the chief cook of Clottey, sounded like he was in there the whole day. He was seated at the bar, facing a couple glasses of what looked like vodka mix, and enjoying them.Read Full Article ...

In Punishing Fashion, Pacquiao Wins 7th Title

LAS VEGAS — Manny Pacquiao was fighting for those struggling in his home country, the Philippines, who were ravaged recently by a trio of typhoons. He was fighting for his family — for his father, who made a rare appearance — and for the millions of fans who follow his every move.Read Full Article ...

THE FINAL PRESS CONFERENCE: Manny Is Loose, Cotto Has Game Face On

LAS VEGAS -- The deference between Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto was upheld at Thursday’s final pre-fight press conference, the last chance for promoters to crank up the publicity machine ahead of this weekend’s showdown at the MGM Grand.


The tone was relaxed, with promoter Bob Arum exclaiming that both fighters have been among the most cooperative and agreeable he has ever worked with. But even-tempered, respectful characters don’t necessary engender sizable pay-per-view sales.

DOES MANNY HAVE A CHANCE AGAINST OSCAR?

By Tim Smith

There is an old adage in boxing: A good big man beats a good little man. That assumes that both men are in
their prime and are at peak condition.

When Manny Pacquiao, a very good little man whom many believe is the best "Pound-for-Pound"boxer in the sport, steps into the ring against Oscar De La Hoya, a good big man in Las Vegas on Saturday night, Pacquiao will be hoping that De La Hoya isn't the De La Hoya of six years ago. Actually he'll be counting on it.

If De La Hoya is anywhere near his peak, he'll knocko ut Pacquiao within three rounds. If he is not, then the "little man" is going to give him fits.

I still believe this is a mismatch in the classic sense. It is supposed to be a welterweight match. But De La Hoya hasn't fought at 147 pounds since he beat Arturo Gatti in 2001. Since then he has fought at junior middleweight and middleweight. His last two fights against Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and Steve Forbes was fought at 150 pounds.Read Full Article ...

MANNY PACQUIAO 100 YEARS FROM NOW

One hundred years from now when our faces will just be faint images in the memories of our great great grandchildren and our names will just be alphabetical inscriptions in our moss-covered tombstones, Filipinos will remember Manny Pacquiao just as our generation recall and glorify the heroism of Dr. Jose Protacio Rizal Mercado.

The Rizalists may exclaim: "Blasphemy!" They would have every right to complain if Manny Pacquiao were compared to Jose Rizal in the context of the national hero's ultimate sacrifice -- dying for the his country and people.

Indeed, they are two contrasting personas.

Rizal came from a rich family which showered him with love and support. Pacquiao was a street kid who was abandoned by his father as a young boy and who had to struggle to survive in the concrete jungles of the Big City. Read Full Article ...

Oscar and Manny: Curiosity, money and an empty 45?

Go ahead, admit it. No matter how much of a purist you are, no matter how much you ridiculed this fight’s announcement, no matter how much you see this spectacle as the eulogy of a decadent era, the fact is you are damn curious to see its first minute.


The first minute of Oscar De La Hoya versus Manny Pacquiao, of course. A fight held at the welterweight limit of 147 pounds. Pacquiao has only fought above 130 once. De La Hoya has not fought under 150 in almost eight years. They will meet at an in-between weight closer to De La Hoya’s side of the scale, in MGM Grand this Saturday.

A Look At The Legacy Of Oscar De La Hoya - With And Without The Gloves

By Vivek Wallace: In less than a week, fight fans will get the opportunity to watch as one of the sports most recognized athletes delivers the latest chapter of his famed career. For the last 16 years boxing fans around the globe have watched as Oscar De La Hoya entertained in a way that only he can, and despite the many setbacks encountered, his most recent mega-fight with the sports former pound for pound king (Floyd Mayweather Jr.) showed exactly how relevant he remains.

As the week moves along we'll get into fight strategy and hype, but serving as an appetizer, today we take our first look at a man who needs no introduction. None of us know exactly how much longer the Goldenboy will dwell between the ropes, so out of respect for this legendary figure, today we take a quick trip down memory lane to revisit his many milestones, accolades, and accomplishments in the first installment of our 'Snapshot', which highlights his existence in the sport..

PACQUIAO WATCH: Failed expectations?

HAS Manny Pacquiao become a victim of his own success?

This might as well be the question that should be answered instead of endlessly and passionately debating whether he won or lost his rematch and overly hyped unfinished business with Juan Manuel Marquez.

Many boxing analysts in the world of boxing are still disagreed with the split decision awarded to Manny to snatch the World Boxing Council diadem from Marquez last Sunday (March 16, Manila time).

Eminent Filipino sports scribes are as polarized as the country’s political landscape.

But majority of them could not categorically claim Manny lost that one.

MAKING THE LIMIT IS NO WEIGHTY PROBLEM FOR PACQUIAO AND MARQUEZ (WITH PHOTOS)

Las Vegas, Nevada -- Today, at the Mandalay Bay Resort Casino, the site for tomorrow’s blockbuster fight, the official weigh-in for all the boxers involved in the card was held free for the public to witness.

The headliners for the said fight card, WBC Super featherweight champion, Juan Manuel Marquez and challenger, Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao easily made weight.

Marquez tipped the scales at 130 pounds while Pacquiao was a sizzling 129 pounder.

The other fighters on the card made weight as well except for Diosdado Gabi. Gabi, in spite of being stripped bare, was still 119.5 lbs. He was given an hour to come back and try again. Rumors had it that Gabi was 6 pounds over the limit as late as yesterday. Why? Your answer is as good as mine! Personally, I strongly feel there was no reason why Gabi could not make weight unless someone is negligent in keeping track of it!Read Full Article ...

Handa Na Po Ako

LAS VEGAS — Magandang araw po sa inyong lahat. Sana ay nasa mabuti kayong kalagayan, malusog sa pangangatawan at pag-iisip.

I am truly amazed how time flies. It seems it was just yesterday when we started training for Saturday’s fight (Sunday in Manila ) more than two months ago. Ilang tulugan na lang at bakbakan na. Excited na ako, let’s get it on!

Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez: Round 1 Knockout Bet Would Pay Big Bucks

Juan Manuel Marquez has never been knocked out in his 52-fight professional boxing career. Aside from a disqualification in his first fight 15 years ago, his only losses have been 12-round decisions. So as Marquez prepares to fight Manny Pacquiao on Saturday, why do I find it tempting to place a little wager on Pacquiao beating Marquez in the first round? Probably because I remember how the first round went when these guys fought four years ago:Read Full Article ...

How It'll Happen: Pacquiao/Marquez II

Few sports have the potential to be as satisfyingly conclusive as prizefighting. The image of one fighter knocking out their opponent is about as decisive as it gets. The superior competitor is decided without dispute, which is essentially the heart of competitive athletics.

It’s for this same reason why boxing can also be so agonizingly dissatisfying. Whenever the fans, as well as the fighters, are deprived of conclusiveness and closure, an unresolved void remains. Boxing craves declarative statements, not interrogative questions.Read Full Article ...

Pacquiao vs. Marquez II: For All The Marbles

After four years of waiting, we finally get to see WBC super featherweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez (48-3, 35 KOs) and Manny Pacquiao (45-3-2, 35 KOs) go at in a rematch, which will be taking place at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Their first bout, fought on May 8th, 2004, was incredibly exiting with Marquez being knocked down three times in the first round alone. However, after the knockdowns, Marquez seemed to solve Pacquiao’s style and beat him in most of the remaining rounds to eventually earn a draw. Many, however, felt that Marquez received a poor decision, in that he had controlled the fight from the 2nd round on until the 12th.Read Full Article ...

Marquez focused for Pacquiao rematch

You wouldn't think anyone could get too comfortable while going toe-to-toe with Manny Pacquiao in a boxing ring, but Juan Manuel Marquez says that's exactly what happened on May 8, 2004, when Pacquiao sent Marquez to the mat three times in the first round.

Marquez's trainer, Ignacio Beristain, says that his longtime pupil was connecting with punches early in the bout but appeared too relaxed, perhaps taking for granted that his opponent had dozens of knockouts on his resume, including a recent dismantling of Marco Antonio Barrera.Read Full Article ...
