Here's the fight highlights of the event as shown by Yahoo below!

“I’ll Have Him on KO, Round 1!” – Sugar Shane Mosley


Sugar Shane Mosley has strong hunches that he will definitely get a load of punches to shower Manny Pacquiao during their big fight on May 7. What’s worse is that, he declared that he will totally knock out the People’s Champ in the FIRST round live on MGM Grand. I think the two fighters are brimming up energy and stamina in order to defeat each other, and the bonus of a knockout is definitely one big motivation for Mosley and Pacquiao. In Mosley’s high-end boot and training camp in Big Bear California, with confidence, he splurged on the media’s attention, saying he’s surely going to knock the Filipino Champion once and for all. And even if he’s not specifying what round he’s going to lull Pacquiao into KO, catching him squarely on the chin in the first round will be a good, energizing start.


Charice Pempengco To Sing the National Anthem at Pacquiao vs. Mosley Bout


It is always a practice of Manny Pacquiao to select the singer that will be singing the national anthem on every fights he have. In this Pacquiao vs. Mosley Unstoppable welterweight championship, he chose one of the great singer of the Philippines and this time a rising international singer of the country, Charice Pempengo who recently made her appearance in Glee, one of the popular TV series in the US.

The Filipino singer who is now known with his single name Charice expressed his excitement about singing the national anthem in the opening ceremony of this Top Rank/CBS/SHO Pacquiao vs. Mosley event. Yesterday, she expressed her gratitude to Pacquiao via her Twitter account. She said, “Thank you Sir. Manny Pacquiao for choosing me to sing the Philippine Nat’l Anthem for your fight. Feel really blessed ” which she twit viahttp://twitter.com/officialcharice after she got the news today.

Well, I hope she’ll sing the “Lupang Hinirang” right so that we will not hear aftermath news about criticisms on singing the song. \m/ –WatchPacquiao.com

Margarito Mocking Pacquiao's Trainer Video

Its almost a day before the WBC fight Manny Pacquiao vs. Antonio Margarito and it is sad that the issue on Margarito insulting (or maybe just making fun of) Freddie Roach by acting like how the latter move. As this hit the cyberspace, a lot of reacted against the tornado's actions. I found this video from Youtube showing Margarito with his coach having fun on the video.


Now in connection with this incident, during the press conference the other day, Antonio Margarito personally apologizes to Freddie Roach to his actions. The following video shows his statement during the press conference (guys its in Spanish, and I can't still find any sub for it yet. :) )

Margarito's Camp Knows Already How To Beat Pacquiao

This is the statement of Antonio Margarito and his camp regarding the upcoming Pacquiao vs. Margarito fight on November 13. They said that they have already devised that will surely exploit the weaknesses of Pacquiao on the ring that will lead to his defeat. Margarito admitted that on the early rounds, he will surely have a hard time since Pacquiao is fast and will surely throw a lot of punches. But he said when he found the rhythm on the later rounds, which he usually do (specially with his fight with Williams), he will definitely be comfortably deliver a biggest upset on the life of Pacman.

What I see with Pacquiao right now is that he is quite distracted when he trained in the Philippines. There's a lot of TV appearances and guestings that he have done making him to be distracted. I hope that his time in LA gym would be enough to cope with the lost time he spend in the Philippines.

No Pacquiao-Cotto Rematch, Its Pacquiao vs. Margarito!

Its confirmed today that the possibility of making the Pacquiao vs. Mayweather to come true has ended. This opens to possibilities to Pacquiao-Cotto rematch as I have mentioned on my previous post. However, this speculation also come to a conclusion of not happening at all when Bob Arum announced that he have chosen the Mexican boxer, Antonio Margarito to meet with Manny Pacquiao on November 13, 2010 for the Pacquiao vs. Margarito super welterweight championship event.

That's right! Margarito will be fighting against the Filipino champ to get the vacant world title for super welterweight championship of the world. If he can gain back his license in boxing, Las Vegas will be the venue for the fight but if not it will be at Mexico. Antonio Margarito beats Miguel Cotto before he was suspended in boxing because of cheating during his fight against Shane Mosley.

Now will Pacquiao vs. Margarito be interesting? Not as Mayweather vs. Pacquiao!

Pacquiao vs. Cotto - A Possible Rematch

There's a BIG possibility that Pacquiao vs. Cotto part 2 will happen this year for Miguel Cotto and Manny Pacquiao. This is what Pacquiao's promoter have announced lately when they've given a final week for Floyd Mayweather Jr. to decide if Mayweather vs Pacquiao match will be inked by the undefeated American boxer. However, it seems that Mayweather sticks to what he have said in an interview that he take a year rest before he fights again. This is the reason that Bob Arum is eying for either Antonio Margarito or a rematch for Miguel Cotto on November 2010.

If you can remember, Miguel Cotto was beaten by Manny Pacquiao in a 12 round TKO last year of November and a rematch can be a good fight to watch as Cotto might be ready for the pound for pound king after he have beaten the undefeated Yuri Foreman and grab the WBA Light Middleweight title from the champion. Making him to recover from his previous loses against Pacquiao and Margarito.

Well, let's just see what will happen this week. If Mayweather refuse to fight again and makes any reasons or whatsoever, it doesn't matter. There's still Cotto and Margarito in line but of course it will be more exciting if Floyd will be fighting.

Watch Cotto vs. Foreman Live Today June 5, 10:15pm ET

Its time guys and Miguel Cotto will face one of the fastest boxer in the super welterweight division named Yuri Foreman. The fight will be happening on June 5, 2010 at 10:15pm ET at the Yankee Stadium.


It is said that this match is a clash of POWER versus SPEED. Power punches of Miguel Cotto against the lightning speed of Yuri Foreman. Cotto increases and raise his weight to reach the super welterweight division and fight once more to prove to the world that he can still fight right after he was beaten by Manny Pacquiao. Will this fight redeem himself or he is the key of Foreman to open a possible Pacquiao vs. Foreman? A question that can be only answered after the fight is concluded and one of them will be announced as the winner of the match.

Pacquiao Practice in Luneta Before Flying to LA Tomorrow

Alex Ariza, conditioning expert of Manny PacquiaoThis morning, Manny Pacquiao did his usual morning workout/conditioning, fast pace jug in Luneta in Manila. He did his usual training in park in Manila to continue his program of condition for his upcoming fight against Miguel Cotto. This is after they've moved from Baguio to Manila due to the typhoon that hits the cool place. The said morning routine will be his last in the place prior to flying to US to continue his training there.

Pacquiao as per according to his trainers and conditioning expert said that the people's champ is in a perfect shape to face Cotto. Despite the disruptions and other things that happen during his training in the Philippines (like the typhoon and land slide in Baguio), Freddie Roach believes that Pacquiao is not affected by this and he will be 100% ready when the fight comes this November. The Pacman said that his fight is dedicated to all the victims of calamities in the Philippines.

Miguel Cotto is the first opponent of Pacquiao with 145 lbs weight, young and on his prime of his life. That's the reason why his camp believes that Cotto is going to be successful in grabbing the title of pound for pound king from Pacquiao. "Cotto is the first true welterweight that (Pacquiao) will have fought in his career. He is young and still in his prime so that is what Pacquiao is facing." - Santiago said from Cotto's training camp at the Fight Factory Gym in Tampa, Florida.

"Cotto Is a Clever Fighter" - Roach

In an interview with Telegraph, Freddie Roach, the known scientific trainer of the Filipino champ, Manny Pacquiao, said that Miguel Cotto is really a clever fighter and will surely give the Pacman a hard time. "Cotto brings a lot more to the table than Mayweather because he will engage, he will fight, whereas Mayweather tends only to fight from distance. Cotto is much more clever than people give him credit for. But in this sport, if you don't take chances, you don’t knock people out. Cotto will fight. I imagine by fight time he gets into the ring on Nov 14, he will be 160 lbs. We will be about 149lbs. But speed will win in the fight; not power," he said when asked about comparing Cotto's fighting style with Floyd Mayweather.

With this interview, you will see how the camp of Pacquiao are ready for the big night and everyone of us, fans and boxing analysts are waiting for the time that things makes happen. All the questions like "Will Cotto be stripped by his WBO welterweight title?" or "Will Pacquiao's P4P throne will be dethroned by Cotto?" We'll see later!

Watch Pacquiao - Cotto Face Off Interview by Max Kellerman

Watch this video containing the Pacquiao Cotto Face off interview by Max Kellerman. See here how the two fighters answers some questions with regards to their upcoming fight on November 14.

The tension really heats up as the time came by for the fight. The following video is just a teaser for the upcoming Pacquiao vs Cotto HBO 24/7 documentary series starting this October 24. Enjoy!
