Its Over : Pacquiao destroys Hatton

One of the most anticipated fights of the year, became one of the most lopsided victories for Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao with a dominating performance against Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas Nevada. With a little under two rounds Pacquiao was able to defeat Hatton with a devastating left hook which left Hatton on the canvas for several minutes.

To be honest with everyone, there really is nothing Pacquiao cannot do. Hatton came in as the aggressor and left as the loser with Pacquiao picking his shots and landing his punches at will. After Hatton went down in the first, you could see that Pacquiao smelt blood.

I hope Floyd Mayweather Jr. is ready to bang because we all have witnessed who many already consider the greatest pound for pound fighter of his time, just rip through what many thought would be he toughest opponent yet. Is Manny Pacquiao the greatest boxer the world has ever seen? I guess only time will tell. One thing I do know is, the fans everywhere are going nuts rights now and President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo should consider making May 3rd a new holiday! haha.

I’m actually looking forward to this one despite it getting so much negative publicity. I was a huge fan of Tyson during his prime and I’m definitely interested to see how this turns out. This will probably go straight to DVD. I’m not sure if I’d pay to see a dccumentary in a theater.

A mixture of original interviews and archival footage and photographs sheds light on the life experiences of Mike Tyson.

box_g_pacquiao01_400Its finally official! According to reports on ESPN.com, Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao (47-3-2, 35 KOs) will take on “The Golden Boy” Oscar Dela Hoya (39-5, 30 KOs) in what could go down as one of the greatest boxing matches in the history of the sport. Both fighters will meet at a catch weight of 147 pounds which requires Dela Hoya to drop to a weight he hasn’t fought at in close to ten years while at the same time forcing Pacquiao to move up two full weight classes.

Both fighters who are well renown for their success in multiple weight divisions will test their mettle in a battle for stereotypical title of being called greatest pound for pound fighter. Dela Hoya currently has the edge on Pacquiao, owning six division championships to Pacquiao’s five.

The fight scheduled to be held at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on December 6th, has already started a huge buzz among boxing fans around the world and moments after its official announcement, the phone lines for reservations were buzzing with calls.

Personally I think this is a huge boost for the sport of boxing which has been in serious decline over the past few years. With the rise of mixed martial arts as the worlds most dominant combat sport, its nice to see boxing take back the center stage if only for a moment. Although I do have my doubts about Pacquiao’s ability to compete with a fighter so much bigger and stronger than he is, I’m going with my Filipino heritage and cheering on Pacquiao to shock the world!
