Watch Pacquiao vs Clottey Online Free LIVE
March 13, 2010Just a day for this Pacquiao vs Clottey fight online and the world will be once more making a move to focus on the same channel that airs Pacquiao vs Clottey fight on screen.
After their weighin which turned out to be very successful, Clottey at 147 lbs and the pound for pound king at more than 145 lbs to fit in the welterweight figth bound for tomorrow at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium. The fight is on and the hype is just beggining on the possibilities and the expectations of boxing aficionados.
It seems that Clottey is the underdog here and Pacquiao had gained all the respect on his way to fame after winning big shots to former champions and calibered fighters like Barrera, Morales, Marquez, Diaz, Dela Hoya and Hatton. Even the betting ratio now on its way to be on Pacquiao.
I can still remember on the previous fights of Manny Pacquiao where he is the underdog and the sympathy of betters are not on him. But they where wrong. It is wrong to believe on the wrong perceptions. Pacquiao had gained so much power and skills on each fights that he has.
To watch him fighting tomorrow will add another history and record for himself. Many favors for Pacquiao to win this fight and even boxing specialist are on his side for The Event .
Is Pacquiao’s career complete if he doesn’t fight Mayweather?
February 27, 2010In the teleconference call yesterday, World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao said the following: “I believe I don’t really need to fight Mayweather because what I have actually done in boxing right now, I think is good enough for me.” But is Pacquiao’s career really complete if he doesn’t fight Mayweather? I really don’t think it is.
Pacquiao fought few recognizable opponents from the start of his career until he fought Marco Antonio Barrera for the first time in 2003. By then, Pacquiao had been fighting for eight years and had won titles in the flyweight and super bantamweight divisions.
However, didn’t take on anyone worth mentioning until he fought a battle scared Barrera in 2003. By that time in Barrera’s career, he had been through two grueling wars against Erik Morales. Pacquiao stopped Barrera in the 11th round. After that fight, Pacquiao fought to a 12 round draw with Juan Manuel Marquez. Beyond that fight, Pacquiao fought two more bouts against Morales, another fight against Barrera, which wasn’t really needed given the one-sided first bout between them.
In 2008, Pacquiao won a controversial 12 round split decision over Marquez in a rematch, a fight in which many people still think Marquez won. Pacquiao never gave Marquez a rematch. Pacquiao fought David Diaz in 2008, but he wasn’t considered to be the best fighter in the lightweight division at the time. Pacquiao then fought and beat and old Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton and then most recently Miguel Cotto.
Those wins were good. However, none of those fighters were considered to be the best in their divisions at the time that Pacquiao fought them. De La Hoya was old, Hatton was more or less shot, and Cotto still hadn’t looked the same after taking a terrifying beating at the hands of Antonio Margarito in 2008.
As such, I think even with a win over Joshua Clottey, Pacquiao’s next opponent for March 13th, he needs a win over Floyd Mayweather Jr. to ensure he has a lasting legacy. The wins over Diaz, Barrera, Morales (who beat Pacquiao in their first fight), Marquez (a questionable draw and a controversial win), De La Hoya, Hatton and Cotto just aren’t enough in my view to make me think that Pacquiao’s career is complete.
He just doesn’t have enough wins over fighters that were truly considered to be the very best in their weight divisions for me to see Pacquiao’s legacy as a shining one. Hatton, Cotto, Morales, Barrera and the questionable win over Marquez just isn’t enough.
Pacquiao needs to give a rematch to Marquez, still fight Mayweather and ideally Shane Mosley for me to even consider Pacquiao as a great fighter. Without wins over those fighters, then I see Pacquiao as merely a good fighter but not a great one. Unless Pacquiao can find his way into and out of those fights without losing, then I don’t rate Pacquiao as one of the best fighters of all time. I see Pacquiao as having lost to Marquez twice, and I think Mayweather and Mosley would likely beat Pacquiao as well if given the chance.

When Pooh met Pacmom
November 9, 2009
Comedian Pooh finally met Dionisia “Pacmom” Pacquiao during the shooting for the TV ad of their endorsement of a food supplement.
“Nauna ako nang konti [dumating sa set] tapos maya-maya dumating na siya (Dionisia) at naghanap ng kuwarto. Nagkuwentuhan kami, tapos nagkutkot [siya] ng paa, nagtaas ng paa… tawa lang kami ng tawa!” he fondly recalled in an interview held at the East Dragon Room of Aberdeen Court on Nov. 6.
Pooh said they easily broke the ice by speaking the Visayan dialect. “Marunong akong mag-Cebuano, tapos salita niya Bisaya, kaya nagkuwentuhan kami in Bisaya.” The Manny Pacquiao impersonator said that Pacmom was surprised to see him looking like her son, pound for pound king Manny. “Nagbihis ako [tapos] paglabas ko, [ang sabi niya,] ‘Hala! Parang anak ko talaga!’ Nagulat talaga siya,”
Pooh shared. He said all is well between ‘Manny Pooh-quiao’ (Pooh’s name when impersonating Manny) and the boxing champ’s family, including Mommy Dionisia. “Natutuwa naman siya [na ginagaya ko ang anak niya]. Masaya ako kasi kahit si Jinkee [Manny’s wife] at mismong si Manny [ay] alam [ang panggagaya ko]. Anyway, wala naman akong ginagawang kasiraan sa pag-impersonate kay Manny,” related Pooh. The comedian said he has been blessed in impersonating Manny.
“Malaki ang utang na loob ko sa character na ‘to [Manny Pooh-quiao]. Ito ang nakapagpabili sa’kin ng mga lupain, pakyanin at kaingin. O, diba, lahat ng mga ‘–in?’” he kidded. Although unsure if he’ll be able to attend the premiere night of Dionisia’s first movie, “Ang Tanging Pamilya,” Pooh gave her a message ala-Manny. “Ma, keep up the good work. Everything will happen, and you know, just pray. That’s all, thank you all very much,” said. Manny Pooh-quiao is proud of her ‘mother’s’ performance in the film. “Oh well, ang `masasabi ko lang sa nanay ko, magaling na artista tsaka magaling ‘yan na dramatic actress.
Kahit comedy siya, mapapaiyak ka sa kakatawa sa kanya,” Pooh-quiao said. Pooh and Dionisia endorse OsteoGard, a natural food supplement designed to pre-empt Osteo-Arthritis (also known as degenerative joint disease). According to a press release, OsteoGard contains 500mg. of glucosamine, a safe and more potent dosage to promote the formation and repair of cartilage. It also contains chondroitin sulfate that helps the repair of cartilage by water retention and elasticity to inhibit the enzymes that break down cartilage. OsteoGard is a product of Corbridge Group Philippines, one of the country’s established pharmaceutical companies.

Cotto’s camp to inspect gloves
November 5, 2009
Pacquiao close to fulfilling target
October 18, 2009Manny Pacquiao has completed a third of the required number of sparring rounds after the Filipino pride went nine rounds on Saturday with a battery of sparring partners in his Baguio training camp, less than a month before he collides with Miguel Cotto in Las Vegas.
Since kicking off his sparring session three weeks ago, Pacquiao has so far logged 55 rounds and still needs 105 to fulfill the targeted number that top trainer Freddie Roach wants him to do to prime himself up for the expected grueling bout with Cotto at the MGM Grand.
Pacquiao had three rounds with Porter, a 21-year-old super-welterweight who he had floored twice last Thursday, then banged with battle-scarred Jose Luis Castillo for another three and had only two with Urbano Antillon after Antillon sustained a cut.
Roach then called on Porter up the ring for another round – the ninth – to cap the intense workout at the Shape Up Gym.
Next week, Pacquiao will start sparring ten and even as much as 12 rounds in one session as he gets himself ready to uproot his training camp for the more familiar confines of the Wild Card in Hollywood.
But Pacquiao will stay and train for a couple of days in Manila this coming week before leaving for the US on Saturday.
Pacquiao’s adviser Mike Koncz said the fighter will travel to Manila from Baguio after Thursday’s workout then work out either at Gerry Peñalosa’s gym in Mandaluyong or the Wild Card in Parañaque before packing his bags for the States.
Cotto, meanwhile, is likewise right on target, according to reports from the Puerto Rican press.
Camped out in Tampa, Florida, for almost a month now, the 28-year-old Cotto has been doing exactly what his trainers want him to do during their six-day-a-week workout at the Fight Factory Gym, where a 24×24 ring is utilized since his handlers believe Pacquiao will not only run away but refrain from engaging Cotto in a toe-to-toe exchange.
