If there is one thing that will help boost the moral of a fighter like our own Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao, it will be the undying support of the Filipino people whom he is fighting for and if there is one thing that will help our hero get rid of body aches after matches, it will be Alaxan. These two, the Filipino people and Alaxan, were united in showing their support to the Pacman as he takes on Joshua “The Grand Master” Clottey last March 14, 2010 at the Dallas Cowboy Stadium in Texas. It was a sure blockbuster match against an all out offensive fighter and a very patient and defensive one. The Filipinos showed their outmost support with the help of the number one pain reliever drug in the country, Alaxan. To give you a proof of this, there were a lot of fans of Pacman that showed their pride and support by wearing the limited edition Alaxan Pacman T-shirts they have won from the recent promo of the drug company.

 

Joshua Clottey did a good job in defending himself against the onslaught of the powerful attacks of Manny Pacquiao. However, this was not good enough to make him win the fight. In fact, he lost the fight via unanimous decision and it was a landslide victory for only two judges, out of the three gave him only one round to win. For Manny Pacquiao, it was a good chance to show the world that he really has what it takes to be a legitimate Welterweight. The fight indeed showcased a show of power against power and after the hard hitting match, I am sure that the two brave warriors that put up a show experienced body pains of many sorts. This is where Alaxan will help. With its fast release formula, it provides fast relief for body pains and it serves to be a well companion for great athletes like our very own Manny Pacquiao. Alaxan is really something that can be of great use for great champions like him. In the next fight, why not try to have your own alaxan pacquiao t-shirt and show your pride for our very own boxing hero?

 

The last fight showed that Manny Pacquiao can really unite the Filipino people and with that, these people will continue to give their full support for whatever fight that he takes on. Also, with Alaxan, our hero can relax after hard fights for he can be relieved of too much body pains.

The Filipino pride Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao was once again successful in his recent match against the African Joshua “The Grand Master” Clottey as they showcased a classic fight last March 13, 2010 at the Cowboy Stadium at Texas. The fight was for the World Boxing Organization Welterweight Belt of the Filipino. Clottey, who was impressive in terms of his defense lost via unanimous decision.

As the fight starts, Manny Pacquaio already began to establish his presence into the ring by throwing power punches at his opponent Joshua Clottey. Joshua Clottey however managed to deflect these bombs using his familiar peak-a-boo style (also termed as turtle guard or high guard). Because of this tight defense, the Pacman tried to focus on hitting the body of Clottey and was doing very god until the end of the fight. Pacquiao managed to connect one right straight in the first round that staggered Clottey a bit. In the following rounds, Clottey tries to throw punches and sometimes connects to the face of his Filipino adversary but Manny Pacquaio was all over Clottey for the whole 12 rounds of boxing. Near the end of the 11^th round, Manny Pacquiao finally managed to break the guard of the Clottey and there he rocked him with his lightning fast combinations. In the 4^th round of the match, Manny Pacquaio got warning for using his both fists in trying to penetrate the tight guard of the African. Nonetheless, when the hitting match was over and the fight went to the score cards of the three judges, the scores were 120-108, 119-109, and 119-109. That means that in the entire fight, the African only got a lead in just one round and the rest was all for Manny Pacquiao.

Many were expecting that Manny Pacquiao will knock Clottey out but they were wronged. However, the win on what was said to be Pacquiao’s first legitimate fight as a welterweight proves that he has what it takes to move to a higher weight class. In a related manner, when asked about the possibility of the Pacquaio-Mayweather fight, the Filipino champion made a bold statement by saying that he wants that fight. This is a clear issuance of a challenge of the present pound-for-pound king to the former owner of that title. If Floyd Mayweather wins against Shane Mosley, the most talked about fight might as well push through.

LAS VEGAS – While Floyd Mayweather Jr. scorned their fight’s promoter and his uncle Roger ripped every other boxing trainer in the world, Juan Manuel Marquez made the biggest statement of fight week so far when he took the podium on Wednesday and spoke in clear, confident English.

Marquez is a major underdog in Saturday’s comeback fight for the unbeaten Mayweather, yet the longest odds of the Mexican three-division champion’s career don’t seem to shake his growing confidence, both in front of cameras and in the ring. Although Marquez is solidly bilingual, he has rarely used English in public until recently.

Floyd Mayweather’s Greatest Fights

Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s eagerly anticipated showdown with Juan Manuel Marquez on Sept. 19 will be showcased live in about 170 theaters nationwide, promoters announced Monday.

The fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas will also air on HBO pay-per-view.

Richard Schaefer of Golden Boy Promotions said he’d been considering theater feeds for several years, ever since a trip to the movies with his kids. Unaware that live boxing has a long history on the big screen, Schaefer’s children asked him whether it was possible today.

“I always try to see ways we can expand the message in the sport of boxing and increase the distribution,” Shaefer said during a conference call.

“Actually,” he added, “my kids said, ‘Wouldn’t it be great?’”

Mayweather (39-0, 25 KOs), considered one of the sport’s pound-for-pound kings, will be fighting for the first time since ending a brief retirement. The flamboyant six-time world champion will be taking on a five-time champion in Marquez (50-4-1, 37 KOs), headlining a stacked card that includes two other title fights.

All of the televised undercard fights will also be shown in theaters.

The decision is part of a comprehensive marketing thrust that includes 30-second previews, much like film trailers, shown on about 1,500 screens before the start of movies for the next several weeks. Tickets for the actual fight are expected to be about $15.

The first fight to be publicly shown in theaters was Eric Boon against Arthur Danaher on Feb. 23, 1939, in London. The format gained popularity in the 1950s, after Joe Louis defeated Lee Savold in a fight beamed to thousands from Madison Square Garden, and a young Muhammad Ali earned a tremendous following around the country during the 1960s.

His epic fight against Joe Frazier in March 1971 at the Garden was seen worldwide.

The rise of pay-per-view coincided with the demise of boxing on the big screen, as fans began to watch high-profile fights from the comfort of home. Among the last fights widely shown in theaters was Ray Leonard’s infamous “no mas” victory over Roberto Duran in November 1980.

“I really think the younger audience, the fans that go to a theater on Saturday night, they don’t want to stay at home,” Shaefer said. “I think this is going to open up the sport of boxing to a new and younger audience.”
