This is not the first time that the “Mexecutioner” and champion, Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao is coming face to face with Juan Manuel Marquez. But a lot of boxing critiques are a bit wary that the formers’ busy schedule, juggling between politics, countless product endorsements, together with his fatherly duties will possibly take a toll on his upcoming boxing stint.

While Marquez seems to be spending so much of his time at the gym with this trainer, Pacquiao on the other hand is crunching whatever time he has to be able to be at par with his competitor. Thus, reports have said that Pacquiao seems to be lacking focus in this up coming game and with the little time that he has left, should try and double his efforts.

To add even more insult to injury, Pacquiao seems to be at loss fighting with the now physically fit Marquez. He on the other hand is still struggling to meet the fight’s required weight. As a rule of thumb, both boxers need to weigh at around 144 lbs for the 144lb catch weight category.

However, even if this is the case, every boxing fan all over the world is rooting for their bet as early as now. It is a well known fact that every single time the two boxers come face to face on the ring, they always give a heated blow by blow punch to their viewers, whether live or on television.

The boxing competition between Pacquiao vs Marquez is set to take place on November 12 of this year and everyone is looking forward to what will be the outcome of their third fight against each other. Needless to say, both are preparing themselves well for the fight and are also looking forward to bringing home the glory that they and their countrymen deserve.

One of the most celebrated athletes in the world is the pound for pound king boxer from the Philippines Manny Pacquiao. At this very moment, the entire world has been preparing for his upcoming fight this weekend against Sugar Shane Mosley. The winner of the bout would be having the WBO Welterweight belt.

A lot of people are so confident that Pacquiao would definitely knockout Mosley. In fact, bets favoring him are all over the internet and the bets are huge. Pacquiao and Mosley are also ensuring all their fans that they are going to put up a very good fight.

Aside from being a world class boxer, Manny Pacquiao is also a public servant in his country being a congressman. Aside from winning all his boxing fight, Pacquiao is also fighting another important thing and that is the problem of poverty in his country. “I believe this world needs new heroes. The biggest fight in my life is not in boxing but it is now to end poverty in my country,” he said. In all his fights, he carries his flag proudly and this weekend he will be wearing yellow gloves as a sign of unity.

He said all those words in a press conference, which was done inside the MGM Hotel’s Hollywood Theatre. Amazingly, the event wasn’t all about trash talks just like other press conferences of other fighters. “The fight will happen without the trash talk and it’s a good example to the children who idolize the fighters. In my life it’s my experience that the best promotion has been the Shane Mosley fight because everybody is friends,” he added.

This is reason why the entire Philippines would be cheering him up this weekend. Big screens would be set up inside the gymnasiums of several municipalities and cities for the Pacquiao vs Mosley live stream in the entire country. Hotels, restaurants, cinemas and other establishments are also having “pay per view” promos for everyone.

Boxing fans are in an uproar over the announcement of a May 7 match between Filipino boxing superstar Manny Pacquiao and Shane Mosley. While other names like Andre Berto, Juan Manuel Marquez and Sergio Martinez were considered potential opponents for the Pacman, Top Rank promoter Bob Arum ended up with a huge mismatch.

Mosley may have the credentials to become a Hall of Famer in the future but he is no longer the dangerous fighter that he used to be. He has been unimpressive in recent fights, losing to Floyd Mayweather Jr. via unanimous decision in May 2010 and settling for a split draw against a mediocre fighter Sergio Mora in September 2010.

Arum may have business and personal reasons not to pursue a third fight with Marquez. Martinez could be too big for Pacquiao and Berto may not be popular among casual fight fans and cannot bring in enough money to the fight. Whatever reason they may be, a fight between Pacquiao and Mosley is not what the fans would like to see.

Mayweather may have beaten Mosley on points but Pacquiao will surely beat up an over-the-hill Mosley. Pacquiao has virtually cleaned up the competition. Too bad politics among promoters have prevented a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight from happening.

The boxing world had been shocked once more when a smaller and lighter fighter, Manny Pacquiao defeated a larger and heavier fighter, Antonio Margarito. There was no stunning knockout that happened but you can see the boxing perfection played by Manny Pacquiao and the determination and tenacity shown by Antonio Margarito.

Pacquiao hammered Margarito with his superb speed and boxing tactics. The Mexican suffered 3 cuts, underneath and above his right eye and one below his left eye. Showing sportsmanship, Pacquiao did ask the referee to stop the fight to avoid any further injuries and damage to Margarito to which the commentators agreed but the fight was continued until it ended on the 12th round.

Manny Pacquiao won via unanimous decision. After the fight, Pacquiao was asked if he hesitated during the last rounds as he was seen avoiding Margarito, then he replied, “Boxing was not for killing.” Pacquiao said he just let the 3 minutes ran out.

The victory gave Manny Pacquiao his eight world boxing championship title and because of his superb performance and ability to throw strings of multiple rapid punches, Pay-per-view’s commentators said that Pacquiao was even better than Ali as Ali was a “one punch guy”. Congratulations to Manny Pacquiao!

Top Rank, a Las Vegas based boxing promotion company, plans to make another attempt to set up the long-awaited boxing showdown between 8 Division Title Holder Manny Pacquiao with Floyd Mayweather Junior.

Pacquiao, a Filipino boxer who is nicknamed in the boxing world as Pacman, became the first fighter to win world titles in eight divisions on Saturday night after his victorious match against Mexican boxer Antonio Margarito in a brutal bout.

The 31-year-old boxing superstar Pacman is running out of new opponents. Top Rank has two failed attempts to seal a deal to fight Mayweather, who is his main rival for the title of the world’s best pound-for-pound boxer.

Mayweather last fought in May, beating Shane Mosley, but has since been embroiled in domestic violence claims by his former girlfriend and faces criminal charges in court in January.

Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum told reporters after the Margarito fight in Arlington, Texas that his staff at the Top Rank organization would begin sounding out Mayweather about a fight next year.

“I will have Todd Duboef place a call directly to Floyd. Todd will ask one question and one question only, and that is whether Floyd wants to fight Manny,” Arum said in quotes carried by sports website FanHouse.

“If Floyd’s answer is yes about fighting Manny, then Todd will ask for Floyd’s expressed permission to call his criminal lawyer. Todd will ask the lawyer if he can be sure if Floyd will be available, not on trial or otherwise occupied, on specific dates.”

“If Todd gets a good answer from the lawyer, then Todd calls Floyd directly one more time,” Arum said. “Todd will ask Floyd, ‘Who is your chosen representative, who should we sit down with to put this fight together?’

“We don’t care who Floyd says, who he picks, be it Don King, Golden Boy or anyone else.”

Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao dubbed as the pound-for-pound king and the pride of the Philippines made another boxing history today as he defeats Antonio Margarito of Mexico in a 12-round unanimous decision. Margarito’s face was stained with blood and punches as Pacquiao’s face remains untainted.

The three judges for the Manny Pacquiao vs Antonio Margarito scores the fight 120-108, 118-110, and 119-109. There were times when Margarito almost have Pacquiao cornered in the ropes and punches landing one after the other but with the pound-for-pound champions speed and good footwork he always managed to escape the Margarito offensive.

After the singing of the Philippine national anthem and the Mexican national anthem and a performance by Nelly the well awaited match began. Each fighter sized up one another at first and then they released their explosive blows. Pacquiao throws 3 jabs, one lands to the body. Pacquiao flurries to the body, Margarito returns with a right to the head.

There was no round that fans would doubt Pacquiao would lose to Margarito. In this fight the Mexican has all the advantage. Margarito had a 6-inch reach advantage and Pacquiao is way lighter than Margarito by about 7 lbs. Before the Pacquiao vs Margarito fight however an those who watched the weigh-in had some doubts on whether the lighter Pacquiao could defeat his opponent but today all of those were cleared.

Manny Pacquiao won the WBC World Super Welterweight Title bout, which is his eight boxing title. This is a record which no other boxer was able to achieve in history. Pacquiao vs Margarito boxing match was done live at Cowboys Stadium on November 13, 2010 in Arlington, Texas.

Both fighters had indeed made their countries proud. Manny Pacquiao and Antonio Margarito both deserve a congratulations.

PPV Boxing: Manny Pacquiao vs Antonio Margarito Fight Time – Manny “PACMAN” Pacquiao is aiming for his eight title in his fight against Mexican Antonio Margarito. Margarito’s camp previously said that they will bring the downfall and defeat of Manny Pacquiao, however the “People’s Champ” said that he is well prepared for this battle and he believes he can win against an opponent like Margarito.

The Manny Pacquiao vs Antonio Margarito weigh-in was held at the Cowboys Stadium and broadcast live from Dallas Texas. Both fighter made it to the 150 lbs catchweight limit and will be able to compete for the vacant WBC junior middleweight bought. However, speculations were made after the weigh-in regarding the capability of Manny Pacquiao to defeat Antonio Margarito.

During the weigh-in Margarito weighs 150 lbs which is just enough to be able to match the limit, however, Manny Pacquiao’s weight was only registered at 144.6 lbs. This is a huge discrepancy from Margarito’s weight which makes Pacquiao more lighter and well for some experts is not a good shape to face Margarito. Pacquiao’s previous statement on the program 24/7 indicates that he is training at about 147-148 lbs. and is not planning to go heavier and match the strength and power of his opponent, however today it seems he is way lighter than everyone expected.

It is however too early to say that Manny Pacquiao will lose this fight against Antonio Margarito only because he weighs lighter. Their weight when they face each other on the ring tomorrow will not matter since the official weigh-in was over. I believe that Pacman did this in order to psyche out Margarito and lead him to believe that Pacquiao is lighter and he can defeat him easily. In boxing there are those moves which happens outside of the ring which eventually affects the boxers during fight time.

Good luck to both fighters as they battle … have a great fight. Watch out for Manny Pacquiao vs Antonio Margarito live online and on your favorite channels particularly on HBO PayPer View.
